This book is awesome, The play along tracks are great and Brian Fullen is an awesome drummer. I would get Chapin's Coordination book first and then get this one. You will definetly lear something from this book.

Hal Leonard Jazz Standards for Drumset is a waste. Do you enjoy being let down? If so, buy this book. It does have some highly valuable information about jazz technique and style, but it lacks almost everywhere else. The CD it comes with offers some great jazz tunes which is a plus. When you actually get into the tunes in the book, though, all of the notations are musical and are written for other instruments. If I wanted a book for jazz piano, then I would have bought one. The book stresses the importance of the ride in jazz, however, when you look through songs, none of them offer any examples of these rhythms which I also found annoying. I recommend another book to anyone new to jazz style as I am. If you're a jazz vet, then give it a shot and see what you think, but I would recommend another publisher as Hal Leonard tends to disappoint on a frequent basis in my opinion.

Do not buy this book because, I made the mistake of buying it. It does not teach you anything and it does not explain anything. Go spend your money on something better!
