Taladiddle – Ein Buch für Drummer & Percussionisten

TALADIDDLE

von Claus Hessler & Claudio Spieler

Konnakol meets Rudimental Drumming.
Ein Buch für Drummer, Percussionisten und Rhythmus-Liebhaber 

Die Rhythmussprache Südindiens verbindet sich mit Snare-Drum-Rudiments

Konnakol ist einer der wirkungsvollsten Wege, um Rhythmus zu lernen und zu meistern – und Rudiments bilden einen essenziellen Wortschatz des westlichen Trommelns. Beide Traditionen zählen zu den ältesten und hochentwickeltsten Rhythmuskonzepten der Welt und erweisen sich als hilfreiche methodische Tools.

Die Ästhetik von Konnakol und Rudiments liegt in ihrer Schlichtheit und Klarheit. Beide Konzepte helfen uns, ein umfangreiches Rhythmus-Vokabular im Gedächtnis zu behalten, Patterns und Kompositionen zu visualisieren und während der Performance mental vorauszuplanen. Mit ihnen lassen sich Grenzen überschreiten, und sie zeigen uns neue Wege zu rhythmischer Kreativität und zur Improvisation in jedem musikalischen Genre.

Konnakol & Rudiments

Eine fundierte und anschauliche Einführung in die südindische Rhythmik sowie 26 ausgewählte Stücke – von leicht bis komplex – veranschaulichen, wie die zwei Rhythmuskulturen miteinander verschmelzen, sich gegenseitig bereichern und neue musikalische Räume eröffnen.

Mit diesem Buch wird damit eine Brücke zwischen diesen beiden – ursprünglich nicht in Verbindung stehenden Welten – gebaut, die so erstaunlich viele Gemeinsamkeiten und Parallelen aufweisen.

TALAM LOOPS by Claus Hessler & Claudio Spieler

Talam Click Tracks in 8, 3, 5 und 7 Beats

Claudio Spieler and Claus Hessler have developed a creative system for learning south Indian rhythms and playing them with rudimental type stickings. Claudio and Claus are world class players and teachers; the results of their collaboration is well worth investigating.

TALADIDDLE offers a beautiful pathway to combine South Indian rhythms and rudimental drumming. Konnakol can build a bridge between musical cultures and learning this language will help you to gain a deep understanding of rhythm and musical time. I m proud to teach Claudio and to see the great outcome of his collaboration with Claus Hessler.

An awesome way to link two worlds and styles together, great book!

Congratulations to Claus and Claudio for this wonderful book. I really enjoyed the rhythmic beauty behind each of the pieces presented. I also enjoyed the refined holistic approach that conveys both rhythmic cultures South Indian and Western Rudimental culture. I hope this book is of interest to the many musicians who are looking for ways to understand, but also to develop new rhythmic vocabularies and possibilities.

The world of Indian rhythms is a gold mine of potential for contemporary musicians. It has been little explored in western publications, aside from the odd print release and various academic PHD studies. Particularly for drummers and percussionists, this system has a massive amount to offer. It is therefore truly great to see Claus and Claudio bring this world together with the world of snare drum rudiments and create a truly unique publication. On one side of the coin they adapt snare rudiments to Indian rhythmic structures but, they also work the other way around and use rhythmic recitation to create unique versions of traditional rudimentary pieces. This book is a great addition to the small, but challenging list of books on the subject for drummers and is a big step towards building a new rhythmic vocabulary for drum set.

Claus Hessler and Claudio Spieler have embarked on an exciting voyage to bridge the worlds of South Indian konnakol and rudimental European drumming. Taladiddle enables snare drummers to enter the complex world of konnakol through rudimental Carnatic phrases and compositional repertoire. Claus and Claudio have carefully translated konnakol phrases to Western rudiments in a way that’s both functional and musical. Just as the konnakol language comes to life on the mridangam and other Carnatic percussion, we can now begin to hear the snare drum sing in solkattu. I’m excited to see how diverse drummers and percussionists creatively interpret the musical scores on their instruments and across genres. May the crosscultural journey begin!

Rohan Krishnamurthy | Mridangam & Carnatic Percussionist, Musicologist, Educator

Claus´ knowledge of rudimental history, his creative applications, and now combining all this with konnakol, gives us a new avenue for creating futuristic vocabulary. This is a welcome and high value addition to any practice library. Well done and deep!

David Garibaldi | Funk-Drumming Legend with Tower of Power, Educator, Author

Eines der spannendsten Fusion-Projekte im Education-Bereich, das den Einstieg in beide Welten leichter macht. Längst überfällig, ich wünschte, das Buch hätte es früher gegeben.
