MULTIMETRIC SYSTEM is a musical method designed for musicians to play rhythmic patterns of different metrics, binary, ternary and irregular and combine them with each other, in a very easy way. They can be played by both those who know how to read traditional music scores and those who do not.Exotic and at the same time very musical rhythms come to the fore thanks to combinations of right and left hands that play alternately or consecutively.Each movement pattern has two implicit rhythms, one from each hand, and by playing them consciously, we work on agility in both hemispheres of the brain. With some practice, in a few days significant progress can be made in the interaction of both hands, also increasing the awareness of each hand separately.Irregular metrics that have always required a great intellectual effort to address them, here we can learn them and combine them with an organic and musical feeling.The fingerings of the movement patterns are specifically chosen with a criterion that points directly to a fluid dynamic of learning to incorporate and practice them.We will easily learn to play metric rhythms that go from 1/8 to 8/8, and by combining them, they will give us metric results in 15/8, 14/8, 13/8, 12/8, 11/8, 10/8 etcMovement patterns are part of the secret treasure of professional drummers and percussionists. And this book is full of them. It should also be noted that they can be easily transported to different instruments, whether melodic, harmonic or rhythmic. Pianists, keyboardists, guitarists, bassists, and instrumentalists of all kinds can find a source of training and inspiration with powerful creative triggers for composing highly musical and original phrases.CREATIVITY, FOR PERFORMERS, COMPOSERS AND IMPROVISERS In general, due to the mental automatism, typical of our nature, when improvising or composing we often resort to the same ideas and start from the same movements, but when experiencing this type of conception, which clearly starts from the rhythmic movement, we will renew the form and life of our solos, phrases, compositions and improvisations.Music, in addition to being played with feelings (heart-mind) is also played with physical movementsand if we train movements (body-brain) we will develop more agility and language to be able to express music with greater sensitivity.Rhythm, in addition to being repetition and vital support in music, is also the element that sculpts the shape of musical phrases, so we can deduce that the more rhythmic forms we learn, the richer, more varied and more powerful our musical language will be. .
