DESCRIPTION:
An unfocused, thin book, thinner on content I found this book in a public library, categorized as a percussion music composition book. It includes some composition ideas, but they're mixed in with a lot of philosophical musings about the meaning of rhythm, and a memoir of the author's adventures in learning about drumming in various cultures around the world.The memoir aspect might have been an interesting book (or long article, or if it were published today rather than in 1992, a series of blog entries), but it wasn't what I was looking for on a composition shelf in the library.

This is a great book, Flatischler focuses on the philosophical and spiritual aspect of rhythm and it's basic principles, he writes about how rhythm affects the body and spirit and how it can heal.He explains all the basic principles of pulse and rhythm and how this can be found in rhythms all over the world. This is one of the best books to start with if you want to study rhythm but I also highly recomend it to all musicians (I had been playing the piano for many years when I read it and it tought me a lot).You should also check out Flatischlers great drum band "Megadrum". Mind opennig book The author explains what is rhythm, and how we can understand it. He describes his hard search for the meaning of rhythm.The book should be carefully read. It is not for casual readers. I had read the book several times during past years and never managed to understand it.But suddenly, the explanations turned clear and evident. Lots of my unsolved doubts and questions were answered.Great book!!

But as Reinhard Flatischler makes clear in this engrossing study, rhythm is an internal force that exists in the foundations of life (breathing and heartbeat) and is best experienced t
A great survey of world rhythms.. The skills developed through TA KE TI NA can be transferred to any musical instrument and ultimately unfold into a deeper self awarenessand a new understanding of the many musical voices of our world. His TA KE IT NA work offers an experience of the interaction of pulse, breath, voice, walking and clapping which awakens our inherent rhythm in the most direct waythrough the body. Reinhard Flatischler presents his revolutionary approach to rhythm in this book for both musician and layman
