CARNATIC RHYTHMS FOR DRUM SET
Zach has a new video available on YouTube! This lecture introduces some Indian Classical rhythmic concepts and applies them in a jazz improvisatory context. Check it out below!
NEW WORKSHEETS AVAILABLE!
Zach’s three new worksheets offer a variety of intermediate to advanced concepts for the drum set, ranging from independence and coordination between four limbs, orchestrating rudiments around the drum set, and modulations inspired by Elvin Jones’s use of triplets and metric displacement.
