DVD label

Format: Widescreen (16:9)
Language: English
DVD contents: Complementary instructions, examples of all the rhythms, music with my trio



The book describes a simple and well-tried method for learning superimposed rhythms like quintuplets, septuplets, etc. The method works regardless of time signature.

I have focused on the most applicable rhythms, with regard to prevalent tempos and different instrument categories. These rhythms are more than enough to drastically expand most people’s rhythmic vocabulary.

Since the central purpose of the book is to facilitate the learning of the rhythms, I have focused on effective exercises that lead to an understanding of the rhythms as quickly as possible. The exercises are not targeted at any specific instrument.


The rhythms are:
3/4 Time: 4, 5, 7, and 8 over 3

4/4 Time: 5, 4, 7, 9, and 10 over 4

5/4 Time: 7, 8, and 9 over 5

7/8 Time: 9, 10, and 11 over 7


* The choice of region is to make sure you get the correct price on your order. Had it been left to the payment system to decide, buyers within the EU would have been charged the standard (high) VAT-rate instead of the much lower reduced VAT-rate for books. For most buyers, regardless of region, the freight costs would also have been calculated too high. Therefore I have customized three different sales regions where I offer packages with different number of books, where the price includes freight costs (and, when relevant, the VAT-rate for books). Delivery time may vary from one workday up to a few weeks. Most common for delivery outside Sweden is 4 – 6 workdays. If you want to order a larger number of books than is possible through “Mulle Holmqvist Store”, please contact me via e-mail.
