Topics will include an overview of time playing concepts, comping & interaction, trading/soloing, coordination, technique, exercises & books for study, and more. Students will also explore the lineage of some of the great jazz drummers through listening examples and gain a sense of the ways of the masters. It is open to all levels, and students are welcome (though not required) to try any of the playing exercises that will be presented.Early Workshop Registration Encouraged!
