This book was created to help drummers improve their abilities to play great drum fills. The material presented was originally developed over the course of several years as a result of the needs and requests of many of mystudents. As drummers practice playing fills it becomes apparent that there are a variety of issues that need to be addressed. To play fluent and creative fills a drummer needs a strong foundation of basic fill concepts thetechnique to execute the fill and musical ideas for the content of the fill. Without these key elements playing fills can be a source of difficulty and frustration. To further illustrate this idea… In some cases a drummer maypractice a particular lick or sticking pattern to a high degree of physical execution but does not have a clear understanding of how to apply it well within a musical phrase. The opposite is also sometimes true a drummer mayunderstand a simple rhythmic idea and play it very well as a fill but doesn't quite know how to employ more interesting techniques or sounds into the phrase and get something else out of it. The goal of this book is to helpdrummers achieve a balance in these necessary skills. This book presents a diverse collection of studies and exercises that clarify the basics of drum fills develop more advanced and specific techniques to use in fills andpresent many ideas for musical phrases using the techniques. The studies are presented in an order that follows a natural progression of ability however… the exercises do not need to be played in the order they are presented.Students and teachers can select exercises to design a curriculum that fits a student's needs as their skills develop. With each set of exercises you will find descriptions tips and practice instructions. Sometimes they arewritten for each individual study and when appropriate they are written for the entire chapter. Be sure to read the text that accompanies each part of this book to get the most out of the exercise.

The goal of this play along series is to provide the jazz drummer with play along and practice material that will be challenging informative and musical. The series contains important jazz tunes based on the standard jazz repertoire. While there is no written melody there are a number of melodies that one can sing over the existing chord changes. I have been giving similar recordings to students through the years and this is the result of the feedback about their wants and needs as players. It always seemed to make sense to me to practice in the context of a tune adhering to the form and melody. These play along tunes provide you with a musical backdropto hone your own skills. I certainly encourage you to explore your musical boundaries. These tunes give you a place to practice comping soloing trading fourths and eighths working on your ride cymbal sound etc. As you can see your development is limited only by your imagination! The tempos range from quarter note equals 100 to quarter note equals 320. You can work on these in any given order but we suggest the slower tempos first. I also give you a suggested listening list of essential jazz standards and drummers that exemplify this kind of musical drumming. Steve Davis.

Par ROTHMAN JOEL. Just published—another original breakthrough book by Joel Rothman. As the title suggests, the topic of rock & jazz drumming in 3/4 time is covered in depth, with practical coordination exercises that can be used during actual performance. But this study goes much further. The “Beyond” part of the title refers to the second half of the book where it’s explained and demonstrated how 3/4 is the key to playing in all odd time signatures in quarter time. The same is true of 3/8 for all odd time signatures in eighth time. If you want to develop a high level of skill playing in 3/4 time as well as all odd time signatures this book is a MUST HAVE! / Date parution : 2022-09-20/ Etude / Batterie

Funk and Fusion Grooves for the Modern Styles-Includes basic exercises for linear playing skills and the development of time feels in the linear style. This book is not about playing beats. It is about developing time feels. In the way that I think of these terms a beat is a specific patten of events that is repeated more of less without variation. A time feel on the other hand is a more general statement of the time which is modified and developed as the tune progresses. In most playing situations the arranged parts of the tune (the head background figures etc.) are fixed and this is where playing a specific pattern is more of a necessity. However on the blowing sections (which are by nature moreimprovisatory) you're going to want something that is flexible and able to adapt to what's going on in the solo. The purpose of this book is to teach you how to develop such skills in the linear style. In a very real sense the concept that's involved here is theme and variations. The theme is the basic pattern you use to establish the feel. The variations are those things you do to the pattern to enhance color and modify it. There are many such variations available in the linear style and we will be working witha a number of thesse. The materials in the book have broken down into two sections: Basic exercises: The exercises in this section are designed to help in developing some of the basic technical skills necessary for linear playing including such things as voice coordination dynamic balance accenting and the like. Ideas: The second section of the book deals with the development of time feels in the linear style. A wide variety of examples will be shown including regular 4/4 feels feels on the set shuffle feels as well as feels in odd meters. It is important to understand that the purpose of these examples is to demonstrate some of the many ways in which linear feels can be developed. Although you should definitely try and master the materials in the book the real reward will come when you can take the ideas that these materials are based upon and make up grooves of your own.About the CD On the CD you will be hearing examples from each part of the book.
