	An Introduction to Jazz Drumming @ Stockton Helbing . com
		Jazz music’s colorful history is heavily intertwined with the history of the drum set.
		Most inexperienced drummers are more familiar with the feel and sound of pop music, therefore, they are accustomed to hearing the rhythmic emphasis in music placed on beats one and three (here we are dealing with a four/four time signature).
		A beginning drummer should explore the various approaches to four way coordination that are out there until he finds one that appeals to his own tastes.

	ASA/EAA/DAGA '99 - Jazz Drummers' Swing Ratio in Relation to Tempo (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The drummers were Tony Williams with the Miles Davis Quintet; Jack DeJohnette with the Keith Jarrett Trio, Jeff Watts with the Wynton Marsalis Quartet and Adam Nussbaum playing on an Aebersold Play-a-long CD.
		By using computer-generated jazz trio performances, it was possible to adjust the swing ratio to any value.
		The same tendency as in the measurement of drummers is evident with an increasing swing ratio for slower tempi and decreasing swing ratio for faster tempi.

	A Mini-Drum Clinic
		The drum sounds which are optimal for these styles are different from those typically used by swing drummers, yet in the school context, the drummer must often shift gears between the rock and funk styles common in beginning charts to the swing or be-bop style.
		Of course this is an exaggeration, but often the drummer’s posture is a big problem, and the fact that she has to use all four limbs (sometimes lifting her feet off the floor) can cause the torso to go off-balance, shifting the hands out of position and causing timing errors.
		The drummer, however, is at a loss in these situations because it’s hard to tell what in the world the the wild variety of drum parts mean without hearing the band along with them.

		The drummer is the foundation of the traditional jazz band.
		On most pre-electric recordings, therefore, the drummer is restricted to the snare drum, woodblock and cymbal; the latter being held to choke the sound.
		The very first New Orleans jazz drummers were heard in the early parade brass bands, which relied upon the snare drum and the large marching bass drum, which usually had a cymbal attached to it.

	Chuck Israels - Jazz Drummers, from a Bass Player/Composer's Point of View
		These subdivisions, established by the drummer's cymbal ride, may or may not be adhered to by other ensemble members but the quarter note pulses must be, unless the swing is to be put at risk.
		All of this being said, it is important to point out that the most interesting drummers, those who make the greatest contribution to variety in the rhythmic texture, are those who are most willing to abandon the "ride cymbal beat" in order to play fills and accompanying patterns in the drums.
		Much remains to be done in the development of jazz drumming styles and an informed knowledge of the creative choices made according to the musical surroundings by some of these extraordinary drummers can provide fertile ground for the growth of new styles.

	Early Jazz
		Early jazz was closely related to ragtime, the blues, and march music of the beginning of the century.
		Early Jazz music usually involved six or seven instruments: the piano, the cornet-trumpet, the trombone, the clarinet, the drums, the string bass, and the tuba.
		Early jazz drummers are most often not heard on records because early recording equipment couldn't record drums.

	Rhythm Man (Do Not Disturb)
		He is the single musician, other than the great jazz drummers, who most personifies the use of personal rhythmic drive to form the basis of his compositions and improvisations.
		The old joke about the drummer "being the person that gets to hang out with the musicians" only rings true with drummers that tend to only think about their instrument first and the music second which, unfortunately does happen a little too often.
		The most important point for a jazz improviser is to develop a sense of rhythmic accurateness and flexibility combined with a strong, swinging pulse that can be played and felt at all dynamic levels.

		Now, this did not mean that I felt there was a place for jazz here, or that jazz has had a history her, but what I liked is that music reached so far into the family.
		It's not jazz played in a Hawaiian style, and I don't think it's Hawaiian music played in a jazz style, it's a jazz approach through Hawaiian music, which I like to think of as a further elaboration of Hawaiian music.
		The connection between jazz and Hawaiian music has a very long history, it probably goes back to the very beginnings of jazz and perhaps the very beginnings of modern Hawaiian music, which would be 20th century Hawaiian music.

		I think Buddy is the worst thing that ever happened to jazz drumming because he took the musicality away from drumming and made technique an end in itself.
		The most musical is Max Roach, the drummer most attuned to the rhythmic structure of a tune is Blakey and the drummer who does the most interesting things with rhythm is Elvin Jones.
		Jazz is an obsession with me. My wife and kids dig it as well.

	Jazz Drumming
		When listening to a jazz piano master comp (rhythmically accompany) behind a soloist, it reveals a treasure chest of ideas to be used for snare drum bass drum interplay.
		The true indication of a serious jazz musician rests with tune knowledge; that is, a broad, in-depth understanding of all “standard” jazz tunes as well as the newer tunes of the day.
		Jazz is an improvisational art form, where skills are honed by interacting with other musicians; reacting to soloists, comping patterns, bass lines, time feels, song forms, developing long–lasting musical skills that can only be found in live performance.

	Jazz Reviews of the Blue Note
		Brian Blade, the brilliant 30-year-old drummer who first became known to jazz audiences as part of Joshua Redman's band, has for the last few years been pursuing an original kind of country-gospel-jazz spread with hyperearnest emotion, with a band Mr.
		Blade, one of those rare jazz drummers artistically powerful enough to direct the sound of a whole ensemble.
		He got involved with the new improvising jam-band scene -- which wasn't a stretch for him, as funk is in his background -- and the experiment delivered him a new audience.

	Dave Weckl Band :Perpetual Motion
		Weckl is, of course, the powerhouse drummer behind Chick Corea's "Elektric" and "Akoustic" bands, and he maintains the same power and tastefulness here.
		Weckl is always there, driving the band or soloist forward, but he leaves adequate space for the rest of the rhythm section (Tom Kennedy, bass and Steve Weingart, keyboards) to contribute as well.
		Opening with a soprano sax riff that is dangerously close to smooth jazz territory, it settles into a gentle Asian-inspired groove, with Weingart providing a sound like some kind of marimba while offering chord voicings on electric piano that keep things harmonically interesting.

		Now with Jazz Legacy we have original tunes by Mark and Walt, and also do tunes that are associated with other great jazz drummers like Art Blakey and Philly Joe Jones, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones and Joe Dukes.
		We take out the rear two seats and put in all the band gear, and there are four band members, a driver and a sound man. We are all stuffed in the van and we drive from four to six or seven hours a day.

	History of Jazz history jazz scene swing musicians drummer
		If you asked many jazz musicians where jazz begins, they would probably relate a story about the first time they heard a jazz record, or the first time their parents took them to a jazz concert.
		Jazz euphoria is a resultant stage, brought about through the seamless jazz fusion of time, chords, harmonies, rhythm, melody and feeling, melded together like the way water takes the shape of the container it is free to be contained within.
		Jazz euphoria is also known as “groove, feel, in the pocket, and swing” As the song says: “It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing!” All jazz that swings is good jazz.
