Excellent! I play harmonica, 46 years and was full-time pro by age 20. I had a Swing Dance Band (7 piece drums, bass, piano, guitar, female vocalist, myself w/ 1 or 2 horns) for 10 years 1999-2009 and we played at dances, Jazz & Blues Festivals. One of our very experienced swing drummers exposed me to Gene Kupra. Sounds great! I listen to drummers, bass, horn players, etc. for groove inspiration and improvement for swing, jazz, funk, R&B, etc.
hi Rick. really enjoying the interesting and informative posts. I would really like to get hold of some of these charts and minus drums play along backings. I wonder if you can point me in the right direction? regards Dave, Scotland
Excellent playing. Very inspiring. I am curious about which 8" Paiste splash you used. The splash details aren't listed in your "The Cymbals are:" list. I own a couple of splashes that I'm unhappy with. Thanks.
Hi Rick, how would you suggest getting together a repertoire of fills for these kind of figures? I can read and catch the figures by themselves on snare and BD, but I'm having trouble with incorporating fills into them. Is there a book with fills you can recommend to get started, maybe a way of interpreting the syncopation book or is it a case of transcribing to build up a repertoire of fills to draw from?
Very smooth. You don’t need to read the music…….you feel it!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!!!!! There are a lot of to learn!!!!
This is the coolest thing ever...nobody does tis stuff anymore...this will roar back if played enough!!

The Tom Morgan Jazz drummers reading workbook is excellent for working on that.
@@rickdior Thx for the recommendation, Rick!
Beautiful ! Is there a link for the notation or is it just available on the screen ?
I don’t think there’s a link, but in the description it contains the book name.
