The thesis is titled Eighty-Eight Drums: The Piano as a Percussion Instrument in Jazz. If you are not that. So I won't repeat myself here:.

http://drumz4sale.blogspot.com/2012/08/nat-king-cole-trio-lesson-in-rhythm.html
Friday, August 24, 2012. Nat King Cole Trio: Lesson in rhythm, swing and harmony. Among the recommendations I made in Some quick recommendations for brushwork. Was Nat King Cole Trio Box Set. I can honestly say that this set expanded my musical skills and playing. I'll take it one step further: it should be required listening for every guitarist, bassist, pianist and drummer on the planet. The November 4, 1949 concert wonderfully captured on Forgotten 1949 Carnegie Hall Concert. Nat's trio at this concer...

Music for Drummers: Thelonious Monk: American genius and drummer's patron saint
http://drumz4sale.blogspot.com/2012/09/thelonious-monk-american-genius-and.html
Saturday, September 1, 2012. Thelonious Monk: American genius and drummer's patron saint. Mere days ago I made the case for studying pianists. If you need a reason to study Monk here is one that is as good as any: the drummers he chose for his ensembles. Here are a few that should convince you: Art Blakey. Philly Joe Jones, Shadow Wilson. Roy Haynes, Ben Riley and Frankie Dunlop to name but a few. Also, Monk's ideas about music and drummers are interesting:. Or Straight, No Chaser. I found the sound qual...

Music for Drummers: Importance of bass
http://drumz4sale.blogspot.com/2012/08/importance-of-bass.html
Thursday, August 30, 2012. In Piano: the other percussion instrument. I discussed the importance of listening to pianists to gain an understanding of both melody and harmony as it relates to music. The goal was to promote awareness to drummers who are not versed in theory - the hope being that some critical listening skills and a general awareness of music would improve their value as drummers. To be sure, drummers are not essential. Consider the Nat King Cole Trio. Why am I harping on this? If for no ot...

Music for Drummers: Piano: the other percussion instrument
http://drumz4sale.blogspot.com/2012/08/piano-other-percussion-instrument.html
Monday, August 27, 2012. Piano: the other percussion instrument. Yes, this blog is about music for drummers. The operative word is music. And one of the grand instruments of music is the piano. So much so that in some music schools anyone entering a percussion program must prove their proficiency on a piano before getting accepted. Before you go off on a rant about daft motherfuckers who talk about everything but. Was a pianist before he was a drummer, and a multitude of drummers, such as Ed Thigpen.
