BAS/C DRUMMING is just such a book. Obviously, no one study can possibly contain the total requirements of every private instructor saddled with the responsibility of tailoring a course of instruction to meet the individual needs of each student. Still, this book presents a wealth of highly organized material on a broad range of topics essential to the initial development of a well-rounded set player. Teachers will find sufficient exercises on most areas of drumming which they find necessary to teach. The one topic not covered in this book deals with the reading of drum charts. There simply wasn't enough room to explore the topic adequately. However, if this is an area of particular interest, | suggest the following books: CUT T/ME PARTS, DRUM ARRANGEMENTS, SHOW DRUMMING, and BIG BAND CHARTS. This edition has been revised and extended to include duets, mixed meters, additional roli studies and technique studies, as well asa mini dictionary of commonly used terms. in all there are over thirty pages of new material.

The first, and most extensive part, deals with the reading of rhythm in “quarter” time, where the quarter-note represents the basic beat. The exercises are mostly in 4/4 time, but there are a few in 2/4 “and 3/4 time, as well as summary exercises in 5/4 time and mixed meters. ‘The second part of this section deals with reading rhythm in “eighth” time, with the eighth-note acting as the basic beat. Dynamic marks are sprinkled throughout the entire section. However, since the book is mostly for beginning to intermediate students, the dynamics should be thought of as secondary. First, try to gain understanding and fluency ith the rhythm in each exercise, then replay the exercises and include the indicated dynamics. A more thorough presentation of dynamics can be found in DYNAMIC CONTROL, and MUSICAL STUDIES FOR THE INTERMEDIATE SNARE DRUMMER. Once this section has been completed, return to the begin- ning and replay selected exercises in cut time.READING IN “QUARTER” TIME 1/4 NOTES AND 1/4 RESTS © Copyright 1983, by Joel Rothman 3SUMMARY OF 1/4 NOTES AND 1/4 RESTS1/2 NOTES AND 1/4 NOTES cut: 1 2 9 4 1 2 3 4 4 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1/2 NOTES, 1/4 NOTES, AND 1/4 RESTS cut: 1 2 3 4 + 2 3 4 4 2 3 4 4 2 3 4 HALF RESTS, WHOLE NOTES, AND WHOLE RESTS coum: 1 2 9 4 1 2 3 4 1203 4 1 2 39 4SUMMARY IN 5/4 TIME 2 la eee chee) {1/8 NOTES AND 1/4 NOTES count: 1 | = (Repeat previous measure)SUMMARY OF 1/8 NOTES AND 1/4 NOTES com: 1 203 4+ ieee zee Serna, Tet onTIaEe T+ 2eaeae 1st and 2nd endings are commonly used in music.

In playing triplets, there are several counts that can be used. | suggest the student first count 1 trip-let, 2 trip-let, 3 trip-let, 4 trip-let. After developing a feel for the triplet rhythm, the count may be reduced to 1, 2, 3, 4 The student should also become familiar with two distinct sticking patterns for the triplet. Te first is alternating hands. The second is playing the triplets with two rights followed by a left (RRL). This pattern enables the player to always lead with the right hand, and a natural accent falls on the third part of the triplet producing a more “swinging” sound. Both stickings are important and each should be incorporated at the appropriate time. 361/8 TRIPLETS WITH'A REST ON THE UPBEAT Ss Sy ——==_F The fermata sign over a note (@) means pause before proceeding.

One is the press roll app: roach, where the student is able to produce a sustained roll in a com: paratively short period of time. Rolls produced in this manner, how: ever, initially sound sloppy and uneven. As the student progresses, it is expected that he will develop a finer skill to execute these rolls with smoothness and finesse. Proponents of this approach assert that for all Practical purposes, since the press rolll is the roll that is actually used, especially in orchestral playing, students should be trained early in their studies to think of a roll simply as a continuous and smooth sound for a given length of time. The second method for teaching rolls is based upon the rudimental or traditional approach, which requires a student in the early stages of learning to play a precise number of “open” double strokes when he reads a written roll. As the student's technical prowess increases, he is able to play the open doubles at an increasingly greater speed. Even tually, the student will reach a maximum speed with open doubles, at which point the closed or press roll comes almost naturally. It takes an average student anywhere from one to two years to play a smooth closed roll through the rudimental approach. Although this method is initially tedious and time-consuming, its advocates claim that as an end result, the student gains much greater control and overall technique than in the press roll approach. Moreover, this greater control with open doubles and its resulting machine gun-like sound on the snare is extremely useful when it comes to playing jazz and rock solos around the drum set. In general, this author tends to agree with the advocates of the latter method, and the approach that is notated on the following pages is basically a traditional or rudimental one. All exercises are presented as “measured” rolls, with a predetermined number of double strokes for each beat. The two approaches, however, are not mutually exclusive Teaching the press roll should be initiated and incorporated at an early stage, in combination with the approach that | have chosen to illustrate. In fact, the exercises in this study not only can be played as'written, with 3 predetermined number of double strokes per beat, but they can also be played with press rolls. It should be added that the same exer: cises could even be played with alternating sticking, thereby providing the reader with the opportunity to develop his single-stroke rolls. One final point’ the pages in this section contain measured rolls which are based upon doubling sixteenth-notes, enabling a nine-stroke roll to be played for each beat. If the section is replayed in cut time, the rolls would be played as five strokes to a beat. However, another group of measured rolls exists, based upon doubling sixteenth-note .triplets, allowing thirteen-stroke rolls to be played for each beat. Since there isn’t enough room to present a separate study with these triplet rolls, | suggest that the reader replay all the exercises, using thirteen-stroke rolls to a beat. Page 109 contains a series of exercises to develop triplet rolls. . For a further study of rolls in all théir ramifications, | recommend the books ROLL CONTROL, and ROLLS, ROLLS, ROLLS.ROLLS ON 1/4 NOTES Nine strokes to a beat (quarter-note).

Replaying each exercise in reverse will allow the left hand to play the predominant role, and the second part of this section presents a comprehensive study tailored specifically to developing left hand contro! The third part of Section Three is an accent study with eighth: notes and triplets. By playing all accented notes on various tom toms, and all unaccented notes on the snare, the reader will be able to develop fluency with fundamental patterns around the drums. If you desire extra material along these lines, | suggest the book: A QUARTET OF RECIPES AROUND THE DRUMS, After the accent study, there is an extensive presentation of rudimental-type exercises including flams, ruffs, drags, single. stroke rolls, double-stroke open rolls, paradiddles, the 40 international rudiments, as well as special exercises with quintuplets and septuplets. EASY DRUM SOLOS TO DEVELOP TECHNIQUE is a, new book which incorporates all these topic in easy-to-play four- measure solos. For the most in-depth study of all aspects of technique | suggest: BASIC DRUM TECHNIQUE AND BEYOND.BASIC STICKING PATTERNS WITH 1/8 NOTES (Featuring the Right Hand) roy pO oy poony poo Dy py poy poy poy py pO Oy pony 2B 26. 27. 28.
