It has been about a year since this was recorded and documented here in Chicago. The drum shop uses the Music Garage Studio space for the clinic and there was a full house.This clinic covers both of my polyrhythm books (as much as can be done at a clinic) and then it has been edited down to 45 minutes. Hopefully it will answer a lot of questions on the topic plus show some of the advanced musicians how the some of the harder stuff sounds. Actually it’s never that difficult once you work your way up to it. The announcment of the official release date (on YouTube) is right around the corner (spring 2019)Classic gig in Chicago (Friday September 28th)
Can these guys play? You bet ! …big time young Chicago players.
This was recorded and is out in a video format on youtube now:

DOWNLOAD @ no charge “The Official 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments”
Here’s a free download of my “Official 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments”!
Please note, when learning and playing the 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments an underlying basic pulse is required and is written below each rudiment. This is vital because this is what makes the rudiments polyrhythmic. Utilizing a metronome or tapping your foot (i.e. playing the bass drum) is suggested or you may prefer doing both at the same time. Enjoy!
Download: The 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments
Recorded version:
https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/petermagadini1
Note: The recorded version of The 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments may be purchased and downloaded at CD baby for $5.00. First, all rudiments are played, as they are normally played, in their original form and then played as the Polyrhythm Rudiment. Why only practice rudiments in one dimension when you can practice them in two? It’s challenging but well worth it. (…for drummers who want to play everything they play even better )
