The book is organized into 3 sections – Common Time, Triple Time, and Compound Time. Each section includes a brief history of the meter and tempo.

Each section is further broken down into types of music. For example, Compound Time is broken into Flam Accent based tunes, Double Drag beatings, and mixed beatings. These sub-sections include explanations of the style and exercises for major rudiments.

Further, each sub-section contains an explanation of this style’s “rules”. The rules are elaborated on each page of music to aid in the drummer’s ability to quickly breakdown and memorize the pieces.
