Develop more relaxed movement, better flow, improved phrasing, and more advanced independence through the use of Ted Reed's classic Syncopation.

With The Ultimate Guide to Syncopation, master teacher Bruce Becker takes Ted Reed’s classic book Syncopation and shows you how to use it to develop more relaxed movement, better flow, improved phrasing, and more advanced independence. Spanning more than four decades as an educator, Bruce has been bringing forward unique concepts in developing “the flow!” Through the years, drummers like David Garibaldi, Tris Imboden, Mark Schulman, Daniel Glass, Glen Sobel, Tim Carman and many more have sought his guidance.

In this book, Bruce adapts the exercises in the classic book Syncopation by Ted Reed to achieve fluidity of movement, phrasing and independence. The concepts presented in this book are designed to:

  • Choreograph your movement to achieve a better flow!
  • Build your own concepts for better phrasing
  • Stretch your independence

If you’ve checked out Syncopation but feel you have not unlocked the secrets that has made it one of the best-selling drum books of all time, Bruce will shed light on how to use it to supercharge your drumming. For longtime users of Syncopation, Bruce’s approach will give you hours of new source material for productive practice.

Includes over 2 hours of instructional video lessons demonstrating and explaining exercises and concepts from this book.

“I’ve known Bruce for many years and I’m also a former student. He’s one of my favorite teachers. A disciple of the legendary Freddie Gruber, Bruce takes what he learned from Freddie to another level. He’s a master of movement and his exercises are very effective in building solid technique and relaxation. Thank you, B!”

Bruce Becker has a solid handle on how to foster the technical side of drums as well as, even more importantly, the mental side! He has the ability to custom tailor a program to the student and really hone in on the problem areas. Many drummers just need to learn how to release the music that is already inside of them. Bruce can help with that process.

Bruce's many years studying with the now legendary Freddie Gruber, has gained him the ability to, not only become a wonderful player, but has also helped him as a teacher to construct a very effective and easy to understand curriculum for the student to develop at their own pace, with all of the fundamental aspects of Freddie's natural approach to drumming being applied. Highly recommended!

Not only is Bruce a fantastic player, but a master teacher in his own right. Having worked intensively with Freddie Gruber for nearly two decades, Bruce is in a unique position to not only pass along Freddie's teachings, but take them to his own place as well. He has a thorough knowledge of fundamental concepts such as balance, control, and developing the "internal clock" - key information that will dramatically enhance any drummers ability, no matter what style or skill level.

Not only does Bruce make an effort to pass along a true understanding of drumming technique and some of its most vital 'secrets', he can also provide a profound insight into the artistic and mental aspects of the craft which, unfortunately, are too often ignored and overlooked by many teaching facilities. This has proven to be essential in the development and growth of any successful artist. Bruce knows what's up!

I’ve gotten some excellent new ideas and insights working with Bruce Becker's DVD "Concepts & Philosophies". Bruce has managed to distill many of Fred Gruber’s essential teachings into manageable portions. Combining Freddie’s ideas with his own teaching discoveries and methods, Bruce has created a program that is vital viewing for all serious students of the drumset. Highly recommended!

I've known Bruce since he was 8. I know how immensely qualified Bruce is as a teacher, mentor and friend. Bruce combines an unparalleled sensibility about the anatomy of drumming with a modern understanding of music and feel. When he did a clinic at the Los Angeles Music Academy, where I teach, the students couldn't stop talking about him. Bruce is also one of the world's best people whose comedy, loyalty, and presence make you want to hang out with him!
