Alfred Music Publishing, the world leader in educational print music publishing since 1922, is proud to distribute Learn to Read Rhythms…Better!, a comprehensive and revolutionary 2-DVD set on rhythm notation-reading, by world-class drummer and clinician, Pat Petrillo.

Learn to Read Rhythms…Better! is a complete program that teaches how to read rhythms from beginning to advanced levels—perfect for self-teaching or as a supplement to lessons. Pat's widely popular "Sound Picture" method associates how each rhythm looks and sounds to help foster better sight-reading skills and overall confidence in reading rhythm notation. Topics include: basic rhythm notation; quarter, eighth, and sixteenth note combinations; all dotted rhythms and rest combinations; syncopation notation combinations in "straight" and "swing" interpretations; all triplet rhythm combinations; common and odd time signatures; and codas and repeats.

The DVD set is the culmination of Pat’s many years of teaching at Drummers Collective in New York City. Known as both a dynamic drummer and world class clinician, Pat endures as a significant influence to the drum performance and education community.
