Drumset Reading: A Practical Method to Develop the Skills Necessary for Reading with Big Bands and Combos

by Ron Fink

Overview

The purpose of this book is to concentrate on two important areas of jazz drumming: Reading and Interpretation. The book suggests ideas for fill-ins and related techniques, but is mainly made up of reading examples, such as a drummer would encounter on a job with a band or combo where reading is required. This material is designed for improvisation and for the development of the following objectives:
* To play steady time.
* To play relaxed at all tempos.
* To play with a swinging concept (feel").
* To play with good taste when improvising.
* To play and develop greater independence and coordination.
* To develop the art of reading syncopated patterns, thus supplementing snare drum foundation books."
