For drummers and all other instrumentalists. A much-needed unofficial companion to Progressive Steps to Syncopation by Ted Reed, a well known reading text in 4/4. This book progressively develops the same type of modern/jazz rhythm, but in 3/4 time. The practice methods associated with Reed, and now this book, comprise the most effective and efficient known system for learning drumming vocabulary, improvising musically on the drums, and reading and interpreting professional drum charts. Covers quarter notes, linear quarter notes, 8th notes, 8th rests, ties, and syncopation. Includes an overview of methods for interpreting and practicing the rhythms on the drumset. Expanded edition from the previously available e-book version.

Vols. for 1957-61 include an additional (mid-January) no. called Directory issue, 1st-5th ed. The 6th ed. was published as the Dec. 1961 issue.

A monthly journal for the musician, the music student, and all music lovers.
