Drums Christian Buckholz

Written by a former drum student of pianist and Jazz legend Lennie Tristano, this book introduces an uncommon approach and feel to Jazz drumming. It contains over a hundred well-thought-out drumset exercises, as well as an account of the drummer's memories and reflections on the Jazz scene of the 1950s and 60s in the U. S., Europe and South America. Dave Frank, Associate Professor of Piano at Berklee College of Music, and Director of the Dave Frank School of Jazz in NYC, says, "In his invaluable book, Christian Buckholz, one of the great drummers in the Lennie Tristano scene, lays out for us some of the concepts that Lennie used in his teaching of rhythm. Thanks to Christian for making these teachings available for the first time!"
