Studio - Jazz Drum Cookbook by John Pickering. For Drum Set. Technic. Jazz. Intermediate. Book. 96 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.93625).

ISBN 9780871666826. Jazz. 8.75x11.75 inches.

Enormous demands are placed on the control and manual dexterity of the contemporary drum set player, particularly in the Jazz idiom. Today's drummer is expected to have developed limb coordination to a degree that would have been thought unachievable a few short years ago. This text presents an effective method of dealing with the mastery of drum set coordination by breaking it down into four sections: 1) Ride Cymbal - Right hand; 2) Snare Drum - Left hand; 3) Bass Drum - Right foot; 4) Hi-hat - Left foot. The author clearly states his goals in writing this book: "It is my sincere wish that the materials presented in [this] text will be of considerable help in developing musical approach to the coordination skills demanded of today's drummer." -John Pickering.

Underrated Classic!

Even the publisher didn't know that this book is part of the Royal Conservatory Percussion Syllabus - right up there with the best publications. Easy to use and most importantly, it's the only book that trains the left Hi-Hat foot to be very independent.

The best book for jazz coordination!

This book takes you right from starting out with jazz coordination and takes your feet and hands to new levels. The book contains both excercises and solos.
