Part 1 from The Jazz Drummers Reading Workbook Series--Introduction and Downbeat Etudes

Here is part 1 of a 6-part video series covering The Jazz Drummer's Reading Workbook by Tom Morgan.
The focus of this book is teaching players how to read charts in the jazz genre.
The book has many play-along tracks and is broken up into several sections that really demystify the chart reading process.
In this part 1, I talk about the book, show you the long and short sounds on the kit, and play through the downbeat etudes as well as the chart "The Downbeat Blues".
