“Daniel has concisely synthesized technical aspects of drumming with musicality and improvisation. If this were the only drum book on the market, there’s enough guidance here to help any serious student advance significantly. And the inspired inclusion of a transcription of master soloist Frankie Dunlop is a great bonus. Highly recommended.”

– Jeff Williams (Student of Alan Dawson and worked with Paul Bley, Dave Liebman, Milt Hinton, Joe Farrell, Richie Beirach, Michel Petrucciani, Randy Brecker, John Scofield, Stan Getz, Joe Lovano et al.)

“The Sound of Jazz Drumming is not an ordinary drum book, but rather a project that focuses on explaining how to evolve into an independent Jazz musician. It will help you in building a solid foundation on which you can nurture your own style and personality with an array of elements such as sound, phrasing and creative improvisation. If only this material were available during my early stages of playing in Jazz bands as a young teenager.”
– Gert Mortensen (Recognised as one the leading concert and solo percussionists in the world)
