Rhythm compared to melody is getting more and more important in pop music. Rhythms can be easily sampled from existing recordings and commercialized in new songs. No wonder that drummers increasingly and self confident claim their copyright. Dr. Tim Reinfeld's book analyzes the exact scope of the protection of rhythms by copyright law. Therefore it is using rhythms examples from all known pop songs. The book addresses the music industry, judges, lawyers, and last but not least drummers who like to know what their creative work is worth.
