Drummers Elvin Jones, Paul Motion, Ed Blackwell, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, each members
of ground-breaking bands, changed the sound, shape and direction of jazz music. Their playing
deviated the position of the drummer to that of the leader of the rhythm section and the emotional
energy center of the band. Without the musical contributions of these men, we would not hear or
play music the way we do today. This book is designed to help open these musical frontiers and
expand your musical consciousness. This collection of tried and true ideas will show you the "how
and why" of this new, more assertive drumming which grew out of the bebop style. This book will
expand those ideas and explore the innovations of the fertile 1960's musical envoronment and beyond.
