Titled the The Rhythm Diaries, Greg has combined his rhythmic systems, artworks, and life stories into one unique offering, calling it the ultimate handbook for creatives.

Containing more than 300 pages of original graphic music charts, techniques, games, and adaptive templates, The Rhythm Diaries contains a treasure trove of vivid designs.

Decades of performance and education experience are presented in a format that offers as much to seasoned professionals as it does for children, beginners, and hobbyists.

Alongside exploring Greg's rhythmic studies, The Rhythm Diaries explores body percussion, rhythms in nature, children's rhythmic games, original techniques for practising, composing and improvisation, plenty of inspiring designs and more numbers than anyone will ever need.

Not just for drummers, but for players of all instruments and anyone curious to discover the world of rhythm.

A modular foundation makes the material suitable for any and every level of ability, with activities for all ages included.
