The latest business card for Bambam Drumfun features the graphic theme elemental to my EZBeats rhythm music notation.
Dots.
It’s not rocket science, and certainly not worthy of a TED talk. Yet dot-based EZBeats provide a simple, bold rhythm notation system that’s a snap.
I’ve searched long and hard for a similar graphic language used to communicate basic rhythms. So far, Scott’s Dots has no competitor.
The dots across a 4 or 8 box line are tapped once, twice, three, or four times, within the time interval of the box.
Like a tic on a clock. Each box, tic toc tic toc across, in time … It’s deceptively simple. 4 dots across – 1 per box – is sounded out and played as follows ….
“Tap, tap, tap, tap.”
TIC TOC TIC TOC KEEP IN RHYTHM LIKE A CLOCK!
