"The Feel Of Swing"
The information contained in this book is designed to help you systematically learn the techniques behind playing mature and interesting jazz/swing time patterns on drum set.
The book is focused on 12 basic rhythm combinations with various levels of complexity assigned to each of them. These time “comping” patterns for the left hand and right foot are most effective behind soloists or in the context of a small ensemble or combo.
"Ba Doom Ching" is a new approach to teaching the concepts of setting up ensemble figures in the big band and jazz choir combo ensembles. Step by step approach to the young drummer being able to accurately read a drum chart and support the ensemble through accentuating the "big note entrances" in the ensemble.
"Fill-In The Gap"
While students may be very comfortable and experienced with playing fills and solo breaks in a rock or pop music style, the soloing techniques and rhythms that are associated with jazz/swing drumming are significantly different.
Soloing, whether in the context of an ensemble or as part of an audition, is one of the required techniques for all drummers in any style. This book will provide a step-by-step approach on incorporating jazz drum soloing and fill techniques that are based upon the triplet rhythmic framework.
