04 — The foundation
Rooted in real music history
Built by working drummers and teachers in Nashville, One Pulse connects deep music history with hands-on practice. The way we organize rhythms is inspired by the work of respected scholars like Michael Tenzer and John M. Chernoff.
With support from drummers across the U.S., we're preserving the world's percussion traditions — recorded carefully and taught with respect.
