    This research project is a documentation of a developmental journey centered on the incorporation of rhythmic elements from South Indian Carnatic music into an existing musical practice. The research provides an insight into the creative process of learning, adaptation and recontextualization of new musical elements into an existing musical practice that may provide a model and transferable methodology for musicians endeavouring to undertake similar research journeys of musical development.

    This research project is a documentation of a developmental journey centered on the incorporation of rhythmic elements from South Indian Carnatic music into an existing musical practice. The research provides an insight into the creative process of learning, adaptation and recontextualization of new musical elements into an existing musical practice that may provide a model and transferable methodology for musicians endeavouring to undertake similar research journeys of musical development. The Adaptation of Indian Carnatic Rhythmic Structures and Improvisation Methods into Drum Set Language and Performance explores the transformation process that occurs as a result of incorporating Carnatic rhythmic elements into the author’s drum set playing style. Through learning Carnatic rhythms, adapting the rhythms to the drum set and then applying the rhythms to musical situations, the research aims to observe the influence of this process on the author’s drum set playing within a performance context. The research focuses on examining the drum set playing on two different recordings. The recordings are presented as the creative works of the research, emphasizing audio-as-research which places listening as the central method of transmission. The creative works can be considered the primary vehicles through which the investigation of the performance practice occurs, with the exegesis serving to place the recordings within a written research context. The exegesis also provides the necessary background and contextual framework for the creative works.
