Synopsis

The Jazz Waltz is not only meant for professional drummers looking to improve their craft, but for up-and-coming jazzers, band directors, and additional rhythm section members (bass players, keyboardists, etc.) as well. Playing in 3/4 time is a microcosm of all jazz drumming, so once you've learned the material in this book, you will notice an immediate improvement in your overall playing. It might even help you land that coveted gig.

About this title

Review

"With all the method books on the market today, surely every topic has been covered -- or so I thought. Andy Ziker discovered a void and filled it with a book completely devoted to jazz waltzes...This would be a great addition to your bookshelf next to the standard jazz books by Ted Reed and John Riley. As for me, it won't be on my bookshelf, it will be on my music stand!" -Percussive Notes

"This may be a genre specific book aimed squarely at the jazz drummer, but I think it''s a hugely enjoyable book and certainly one for any intermediate to advanced player to add to the collection, purely from the angle of getting comfortable in 3 and for a bit of creative fun!"- Mike Dolbear

"As drummers, we've counted up to four beats per measure at least a billion times. But counting up to three in every measure? Now that's something new and different...If you're looking for a book that will help you achieve fluidity, confidence and capability in 3/4 and beyond, you will find it in The Jazz Waltz." -Experience Drums
