What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02

Covers the drum chair only. Bass, guitar and piano each need their own separate books.
Detail 03
Jazz ensemble scoring
Big band drumming reads differently from other styles — setups, kicks and ensemble figures rather than a repeating groove.
Detail 04
Entry-level series
Aimed at drummers new to reading charts in a jazz ensemble setting.
Detail 05
$18.99
Priced above the horn parts in this series, a few dollars more per book.

Know before you order
- 01This is the drum set chair — other percussion parts are separate
- 02No score, no other rhythm section parts included
- 03A drum kit is assumed; nothing here works on a practice pad alone
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for drum set or concert percussion?
Drum set. It's the kit part in the jazz ensemble rhythm section, not a mallet or auxiliary percussion book.
02Does it include the other rhythm section parts?
No. Piano, bass and guitar are separate books, as is the conductor score.
03Do I need to read music well for this?
Yes, some reading is needed. It's an entry-level jazz ensemble series, so it starts accessible, but you're reading charts.
04Why does the drum book cost more than the trombone books?
The drum part is priced at $18.99 against $15.99 for the trombone parts in the same series.
