Cyclic Independence for Drummers
-
Version
1.1.2
The Cyclic Independence system provides drummers from
beginners to advanced with a unique, open-ended
system to help improve their skills. Included are
more than 350 graded exercise files that cover a wide
range of styles including rock, jazz, funk, latin,
as well as accent, co-ordination, rudimentary studies
and lots more. A comprehensive study guide is
included with suggestions on how to work through each
category.
Whether it is a 5 stroke roll or a complex fusion
pattern, Cyclic Independence can create thousands of
possible variations and play them at any tempo using
the MIDI drums or the metronome or both. The chart
display acts like a "map" for each limb making it
easy even for absolute beginners to start playing
graded exercises immediately. Charts can be saved and
printed for use away from the computer.
Cyclic Independence can be used by other musicians
also to create great sounding MIDI drum tracks.
Dynamic settings allow for the creation of patterns
that sound realistic and have groove. The exercise
files have been designed by a drummer and can be used
as they for loops or edited as needed. The features
of the program make it just as easy to create more
unconventional loops using odd beat subdivisions that
are difficult to create even in high end MIDI
sequencing programs.
