Members dwdrummer732 Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 start with John Rilley The Art of Bop, then Beyond Bop (the 2nd book) then come back in 4 months or so when youve finished those books (don't skip anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Just Drums Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 Don't forget about Jim Chapin's Advanced Techniques book. This is a bible for jazz drummers. http://www.justdrumsonline.com/store/pc-107-55-chapin-jim-advanced-techniques-for-the-modern-drummer.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
