Drumset Independence & Syncopation is a unique method that integrates independent coordination and the use of syncopated rhythms on the drumset. It explores the most common syncopated rhythms found in jazz, and in the process serves as a vehicle for improving coordinated independence and reading skills. It will be most useful to the jazz drummer in playing figures typically found in the jazz idiom. Includes sections on snare drum and bass drum independence, drum fills in context, section and ensemble figures, 1-, 2- and 4-bar ensemble figures and ensemble "shout chorus" solos.
