The Jazz Waltz is not only meant for professional drummers looking to improve their craft, but for up-and-coming jazzers, band directors, and additional rhythm section members (bass players, keyboardists, etc.) as well. Playing in 3/4 time is a microcosm of all jazz drumming, so once you’ve learned the material in this book, you will notice an immediate improvement in your overall playing. It might even help you land that coveted gig.
