Quintolen grooves and the Quintolen feel are on the advance. More and more drummers are playing quintol-based grooves or composing song parts in the quintol-feel also in the pop and rock genre. The challenge is to feel these 5 divisions correctly and not to overtax yourself with extremely fast tempos. That sounds fast and you don't really hear the quintuple feeling.
After intensive research and exact analysis of many teaching aids on the market, author Domenico Russo Antunez could not find anything that deals in depth with the Quintolen Feel. This research inspired him to write Quintessence. In order to practice what has been learned in a musical context, quintetol-based songs - as play alongs - were also composed in the styles bossa nova, 12/8 blues, funk and pop.
Quintessence is the right tool for drummers, with which drummers can develop the Quintolen feel and really feel the Quintolen themselves. It is the basic work for drummers on the subject of quintoles and one of the first teaching aids on the market that deals in depth with this feeling.
The author Domenico Russo Antunez - himself drummer, clinician, teacher & instructor at the SwissDrumAcademy and advisor of Percussion Creativ - provides drummers with a tool with which they can learn the quintolen feeling from scratch. Step by step he explains how to learn and practice the Quintolen Feel and then integrate it into his game. The goal: As naturally as drummers have internalized the binary and the ternary feeling, they should be able to play the quintole grooves and fills and integrate them into their song accompaniment and solo playing.
