Title: Beautifully logical
Product review: The problem with jazz drumming is that it sounds easier to play than it actually is. Jim Chapin's approach is broken down in to simple, bite-sized bars that enable the student to understand the beautiful logic of four-way independence. Suggestion: Use the Mel Bay Drummer's Cookbook to coordinate your snare & bass limbs before tackling the second half of Advanced Techniques. Learning to "swing" in sixteenth notes is easy once you can break up your hands & feet. (Perhaps swinging is a right-brained activity, while maintaining four-way independence is a left-brained endeavor.) Inch by inch, anthing's a cinch.
