Description

The aim of this book is to focus on two key aspects of jazz drumming: reading and interpretation. While it offers suggestions for fill-ins and related techniques, the primary content consists of reading examples that a drummer might encounter while performing with a band or combo that requires reading skills. This material is intended to foster improvisation and achieve several objectives, including maintaining steady time, playing comfortably at various tempos, embodying a swinging feel, demonstrating good taste in improvisation, enhancing independence and coordination, and mastering the reading of syncopated patterns to complement foundational snare drum studies.
