Rhythm History - Origins Of The Rhythms

[Toby]

Hi everyone. I am looking for a book or a number of books or videos or websites that will allow me to gather a wide knowledge of the rhythms that we find ourselves playing. I am talking about every singe rhythm out there or at least the ones that are the most popular.

If anyone knows of any form of media and the name of that please reply to the post or send me a private email.

Your help if truly priceless.

Love Always

Toby
