Here is the first part of a video series on playing and practicing Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer by Jim Chapin. In this series I will play through most of the exercises and solos in the book chapter by chapter so you can get a feel for what it should sound like.
This classic book was the first of it's kind back in the late 1940's and the subject was jazz coordination. The book teaches coordination in the swing and early be-bop styles which was what was being created in those days.
Like most of you this was the first jazz coordination book I worked on starting at 11 years old. At that time I thought it was impossible to play but I managed to get through it slowly with the guidance of a great teacher.
Today the book is slightly dated with much more modern approaches available. It is however still very relevant, fun, and challenging to play and I use it with students to supplement other texts that I employ.
In this part 1 of the series I give a brief introduction to the book as well as my history with it. I also cover the first chapter which contains shuffle rhythms.
The drums used in the video are Gretsch Centennial from 1983.
The sizes of these drums are: 18"x14" bass,10",12",14" toms and a 14"x 6.5" snare.
The cymbals in this video are all 1940's- 1960's K Zildjian except for a Paiste 22" swish.
