Opis

The Mysterious Force VOL III: Elvin Jones This is the world's first published technical study of the drumming artist: Elvin Jones. His advanced concept once revolutionized modern jazz drumming, and now through the study of the technical structure of his magic, it will have a even stronger, renewed influence on rhythmic development in the twenty-first century. Part I of this book presents 144 pages of detailed drumming notation in fourteen movements. This hand-written notation is the result of intensive slow-motion analysis accomplished over a period of many years. This section will give the intermediate to advanced drummer some real-time experience in the most unusual technical form that describes Elvin's artistic style. Part 2 presents selected passages from Part 1 that are projected into the author's unique Sound Column Display System (SCDS). This purely graphic-driven teaching system will make it possible for anyone to begin to recreate the mystery of Elvin's drumming, even before being able to read music for the drums. The SCDS is not intended to replace the conventional system of notation but provides a very accessible method of learning, where the sound of the rhythm is established even before the formal notation is considered. This book is for any level of drummer, from beginning enthusiast to seasoned professional. It will also prove extremely useful for the modern day composer who is looking for new ways to express rhythm. Many of Elvin's his most articulate and extraordinary techniques have been carefully extracted and developed into readable form. This is a book for drummers, composers, multi-instrumentalists, and educators.
