JAZZ COMP SCROLL CHALLENGE Work your way through these sixteen levels to exercise your jazz comping independence and sight-reading skills. Place your phone or tablet on your high tom or you laptop where convenient to see the screen, plug in some headphones/earphones and play each progressive level by swinging all the 8th notes (played on the snare) while playing the jazz ride 'spang-a-lang' pattern with your other hand and stepping 2 and 4 on the hihat. How far did you get? To help increase your knowledge and skill of jazz drumming I highly recommend working through all of John Riley's books and engaging the services of a good local teacher. Please share this resource with your pupils and other drummers. Please subscribe -- more goodies on the way. Best wishes Jason Horsler.
