Jazz drumming book for study and inspiration
Jazz Drumming Perspectives from Hal Leonard Europe is an in-depth jazz drumming book in which Peter Erskine shares his practical view on rhythm and musicality. It is aimed at drummers, bandleaders and anyone working with rhythm, and fits well into lessons, study and independent exploration of jazz drumming.
Building on The Drum Perspective, Erskine shows how to create music that resonates with both performers and listeners. That angle makes this drum method appealing if you want to work not only on technique, but also on more conscious musical choices.
Jazz drumming perspectives with audio tracks and exercises
The book explores different styles of jazz drumming and combines that content with online audio tracks from some of Erskine's best performances. You also get extra support through transcriptions, diagrams and exercises designed to develop creativity and skill.
The bonus content adds something special as well, including recordings of a nine-year-old Erskine playing with Stan Kenton and studio videos capturing his artistry. If you are looking for sheet music, a method book or a drum book in Magna Music's webshop, personal advice from musicians in the store can be a useful addition when choosing study material.
Who this rhythm book suits
Jazz Drumming Perspectives is written for a broad group of readers interested in rhythm, while keeping a clear focus on jazz drumming. That makes it a strong fit for drummers who want to deepen their understanding of style, interpretation and application through material by Peter Erskine himself.
The combination of text, audio, transcriptions and exercises makes this book useful in lessons, self-study and as an inspiring addition for anyone actively engaged with jazz and drums.
