This review is from: Chart Reading Workbook for Drummers (Paperback)
This book is a very nice way to help students learn how to set up ensemble hits in a jazz setting. In my experience, students need some examples to help them start to learn how to set up a band. This book helps you to learn how to do that. I used to use Bob Moses' Drum Wisdom book for that, but recently discovered that it is out of print! This book nicely covers the technical side of set-ups, but unfortunately only does this in a swing setting. The book doesn't go over the information in other styles, though it's easily adaptable to cover such material.

Chart Reading Workbook for Drummers [Paperback],
By Drum 247 (OC California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chart Reading Workbook for Drummers (Paperback)
GREAT BOOK! And written by an equally GREAT DRUMMER!This book shows you ALL the basics. How to set up Ensemble figures, Section figures. Comes with Audio minus drums. Very helpful and useful material. Suggestions on simple and effective "set ups" that will let a band know whats coming up. Very well written and easy to understand, step by step instruction on Chart reading in a Jazz (Big Band) setting. Would apply to small combo ensembles as well. Great book. It will definitely help your chart reading while not confusing or over whelming you. Again) Very well written. Progresses at a nice pace. If you want to learn to read / interpret Jazz Charts, this book will help tremendously.

I was very pleased with the company that sold this book to me. They had excellent communication explaining when book was being shipped. I even had a small question to be sure it included a new CD and they responded quickly with a yes. Book is brand spanking new, the CD is perfect.
