The Nine Laws are a set of rhythms derived from drum patterns called Para-diddles applied to bass guitar; the Patterns or Laws do not depend on the instrument you are using as ALL instruments adhere to the same principles of music; ALL rhythms of all instruments follow the same rules that are completely independent of the instrument, genre or style of music.

The Nine Laws are a system in the same way as a ‘Key’ of a song is a musical system; putting a piece of music together requires chord progressions; scales; melody etc, that indicate the organising system or arrangement being used; again you can call this a ‘Key Signature.’ It’s then up to you to decide which notes to choose in whatever order you choose to apply them; this is the subjective nature of art in music.

Again; the concept behind The Nine Laws is very simple; they are based on simple sticking patterns; otherwise known as Para-diddles used by drummers; with the patterns you can use whatever notes you wish to use in whatever order you choose.
