Introduction to Swing-Style Drumming

Informatie

Introduction to Swing Style Drumming is a system specifically designed to enable beginning drum students to develop the ability to play swing style music. The objective is to develop coordinated independence between the ride cymbal - played with the right hand, snare drum - played with the left hand, bass drum - played with the right foot, and hi hat cymbal - played with the left foot.

Lessons include 380 rhythm patterns written for snare and bass drum. Four rhythm patterns are written in four measure phrases followed by a sixteen measure summary combining the four patterns. All the rhythm patterns are played independently against the jazz swing beat on the ride cymbal.
