Drum Kit Coordination Patterns
Jazz and Blues
 
This collection of material provides the student with a clearly laid out and structured reference for hundreds of timekeeping patterns in jazz, blues, and swing styles, including grooves in 6/8 and 12/8. Each pattern is written out, with each permutation and combination clearly presented in well-defined sets.
 
This reference guide allows the student to see exactly where each voice is placed within the pattern so that they can be practised without the need for visualisation or abstraction. Hundreds of patterns and combinations are instantly accessible for near infinite possibilities.
This collection is further designed for teachers to use alongside their existing teaching material. Coordination sets featuring common functional patterns allow for the student to immediately see what is being asked of them, and to progress in a systematic and logical manner.
