By request here is a lesson on Big Band Drumming.
I am using "Swingin' for the Fences" by Gordon Goodwin for demo material. You should have this book as it is an excellent play-along for big band drumming.
I play the chart first, then explain a few things.
All drums are Doc Sweeney African Olive wood Stave
Cymbals are:
1950's K Zildjian 18"with rivets
Paiste Traditional 22" ride
Paiste Traditional 16" thin crash
Paiste traditional 22" china with rivets
Sabian HH 13" Hi Hats
microphone is an AKG C24 Stereo mic.
