Rhythm Knowledge 2 strips away the guesswork and gives you a clear, repeatable process for building speed, control, and accuracy. Through a structured approach to limb coordination and time perception, this book teaches you how to train your body and mind to work together—deliberately and efficiently.

Rhythm isn’t a mystery or a talent some people are just born with. It’s a system, and when you follow the right steps, you’ll gain the ability to execute *ANY* musical idea with confidence and control.

Just like Rhythm Knowledge 1, there are notes for how to apply all of the exercises in this book to most any instrument!

Inside…

🔹 Unlock total Limb (or Finger) Independence with the Clockwise / Counter-Clockwise (CNC) Limb System

• Any Rhythm. Any Limb. — Instead of playing “closed” or “open”, “left half” or “right half” , or “top” and “bottom”... Learn to treat all limbs equally, DOUBLING your creative potential.
  
• No Limits Musical Expression! — This allows you to express any musical idea without modifying the idea based on physical limitations.
  
• Effortless “Limb Switching” for Seamless Transitions – Build the ability to move between limb pairs effortlessly, eliminating hesitation and stiffness.
  
• Hold Time like a Swiss Watch — Your sense of TIME is derived from your sense of BALANCE. Hold time as perfectly as a metronome by shifting weight smoothly. (Your band mates will thank you!)
  
  

🔹 Conquer Odd-Time Feel with the Not-Quite-Doubled (NQD) Counting System

• Odd Time Made EASY — A simple way to count that makes odd-time feel as natural as tapping your foot.
  
• Never Be Fooled Again — Allows you to quickly figure out *ANY* music, in any style. (ESSENTIAL for musicians playing prog or who need to adapt to new styles quickly.)
  
• No More Stumbling over 5’s, 7’s… 19’s — Convert complex rhythms into intuitive, “binary” patterns, making even the most difficult phrases second nature.
  
• PLUS! How to NEVER run out of breath when counting.

🔹 Master Dynamic Transitions with the Two-Numbers-Twice (2N2) Feel-Change System

• Seamless Transitions — The 2N2 system teaches you how to shift between rhythmic feels on command, making transitions between different note groupings effortless.
  
• Train Every Subdivision — Instead of locking into one subdivision, 2N2 forces you to internalize multiple rhythmic subdivisions, so you can flow between feels without hesitation.
  
• Master “Feel” — Rhythmic phrasing is key to musical expression. By mastering feel changes, you’ll gain the ability to shift the energy of a groove, solo, or fill in real time.
  
• Apply It to Any Genre or Playing Style — Whether you’re moving from straight to swung subdivisions, shifting between odd and even groupings, or manipulating groove tension, 2N2 provides a structured method to make every transition sound intentional and controlled.

🔹 Master Every Possibility with the All the Permutations (ATP) System

• Efficiently Cover ALL Stickings  — The ATP System efficiently exposes you to every possible sticking before it ever appears in real music so no pattern feels unfamiliar.
  
• Works for Guitar, Bass, and More! — RK2 also includes notation to easily adapt the ATP System to all instruments. Whether it’s left and right, or pick stroke up and pick stroke down, ATP will turn you into a monster rhythm player.
  
  

Rhythm Knowledge 1 is the “HOW”. Rhythm Knowledge 2 is the “WHAT”.

Install CNC, NQD, 2N2, and ATP into your playing and watch your musicianship and technical abilities explode.
