Odd Feelings by Massimo Russo & Dom Famularo

Odd Feelings will get you comfortable playing in odd time signatures. Using a simple yet effective counting system, this book will give you a method for breaking down odd meters in a way that works for you. Based on a concept introduced in Dom Famularo’s best-selling book It’s Your Move, Odd Feelings presents grooves and exercises in 18 different time signatures. Divided into chapters on quarter-, eighth-, and sixteenth-note based meters, with an additional section about mixed-meter grooves, Odd Feelings also includes eight play-along tracks designed to get you grooving in these different time signatures.

A multimedia disc is included which contains MP3s and QuickTime videos. The MP3s demonstrate selected examples and include the play-along tracks minus drums. The videos also highlight various examples from the book, and include demos of the play-along tracks. All of the tracks are performed by author Massimo Russo.

Massimo Russo is an Italian drummer with various performing and recording credits. A well-known educator across Europe, he is the Italian director of the Wizdom Woodshed Drum School.

Dom Famularo is drumming’s global ambassador and one of the most sought-after drumming educators in the world. He is the author of five books and currently teaches over 1000 students from 20 different countries, while continuing to travel the world as a clinician and education director for Sabian, Vic Firth, Evans, and Mapex.
