A MELODIC APPROACH TO DRUMMING

Devin Drobka will show you how to learn repertoire by playing melodies on the drum set. He’ll focus on the heads of classic tunes by Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Sonny Rollins, and explore how they can be used as a source for comping and soloing.
