Methodology of jazz drumming
Urbánek, Marek ; SLEZÁK, Kamil (advisor) ; ŠOLTIS, Daniel (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to analyze the methodical procedure of teaching percussion instrument performace in the context of jazz music. The absence of a similar work - in the domestic area, which would summarize the basic, yet crucial practices in a comprehensible whole was one of the main inspirations for this thesis. The first chapter describes the context and the process of formation of the drum set. The next chapter introduces the notation of jazz music and the way it is different from phrasing in practice. The next chapters deal with the various approaches to playing the ride cymbal, hi-hat and the bass drum. These chapters contain practical exercises. Next I point out the importance of drums as an accompanying instrument. The chapter on transcription tells readers how to handle new material and how to be able to work with it further. In the seventh chapter I present coordination exercises, which I have completed and compiled with this work. The last chapter deals with the analysis of Jim Chapin's Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer.
