I have never before seen a book that has everything you want to know about jazz drumming: reading the charts, some very hip exercises. “Casey's book Berklee Jazz Drums is amazing.Congratulations Casey, on a beautiful, monumental work.” – Antonio Sanchez Very well structured, easy to understand and no bull. Berklee Jazz Drums is a must-have for serious drummers that want to think of themselves as musicians first. This excellent book exemplifies his concise, practical, and easy-to-grasp approach, greatly needed because a lot of drummers suffer from too much practicing without properly being able to translate technique into actual musical thoughts. I was always awestruck by his encyclopedic knowledge about drums and music, but more importantly, his teaching method and philosophy made the transition from practice room to performance attainable and logical. “I was lucky enough to study privately with Casey at Berklee for a few semesters in the mid '90s.As a fellow Berklee drummer and former Alan Dawson student I am honored to endorse it.” – Joe La Barbera Much of what he shares could only have come from someone who actually works as a jazz drummer. Each chapter addresses a specific aspect of jazz drumming in a clear and organized manner.
