Jazz Rudiments

This book gives the student drummer the best start into developing a jazz drumming vocabulary. 

You can learn to play Jazz today.  All the best co-ordination tips and tricks are found within.  Take your playing to the ultimate level of expression.

This is an introduction to the rudiments of jazz. Don’t be confused. This is not about rudiments like the single stroke roll or paradiddles that can be applied to jazz. Rather, you will learn all the rudimental or fundamental co-ordination exercises from which the jazz language springs. 

These exercises are the "Jazz Rudiments". 

Just as drummers of all ages have learnt the traditional rudiments as a platform of language expression, you will need each of these "Jazz Rudiments" in kind.

There are 8 "Jazz Rudiments" in seven levels of increasing difficulty for you to explore. 

Hear all examples from within the book.  Each example is accompanied by embedded audio at three tempo levels.

This is the ultimate and easiest start to the world of Jazz Drumming.
