Two-Bar Fours in a Contemporary Time Space
Code No. 00-50587

Trading is a collection of advanced jazz concepts to build modern jazz drum solo and time vocabulary.

It covers concepts such as asymmetrical phrases, complex comping, rate modulations, stickings applied to four-bar phrases, and various other creative ideas to spice up your timekeeping and soloing. 
Nic Marcy presents bite-sized pieces of motifs in his signature "workboxes": One- and two-bar snippets of the ideas underlying the concepts in the book. 

Beyond the conceptual material, Marcy presents biographies, analysis, and concepts from jazz greats including Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Roy Haynes, Ari Hoenig, Bill Stewart, Philly Joe Jones, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Alan Dawson, Terry Bozzio, Joe Morello, and others. 

Integrated audio and video examples help to demonstrate the material. Two complete play-along tracks and three complete transcriptions of related recordings round out the package.
