Time Studies in the style of the Modern Jazz Drummersby Michael Green The following is a preview of the an upcoming book co-authored by myself and Danny Gottlieb called "In the Style of the Modern Jazz Drummers". These time playing exercises are to be played with the systems or ostinatos below. Not all of the exercises work with each system (set a includes the hi-hat foot and set b omits the hi-hat foot) Therefor the exercises are labeled accordingly. For example 1ab works with both sets of systems and 8b only works with set b. Make sure and check out the audio examples. You can play right along with me or repeat after me in the measures between. Audio example 1-4.mp3Audio example 5-8.mp3
