Overview

Morgan, Tom. The Jazz Drummer’s Reading Workbook. Greensboro, North Carolina: C. Alan Publications, 2002.

This book explains how jazz drummers have to read rhythmic figures, improvise, play with good technique, and play parts that compliment what the rest of the ensemble is playing. All of this can be difficult to accomplish without an ensemble to play along with, so this workbook provides sequential exercises that gradually add new figures and a CD to play along with. The CD allows the drummer to hear a professional play, listen to what he does, and then play along with him.
