| | Jazz |
| | Early jazz influences found their first mainstream expression in the marching band and dance band music of the day, which was the standard form of popular concert music at the turn of century. | | | At the root of jazz is the blues, the folk music of former African slaves in the U.S. South and their descendants, heavily influenced by West African cultural and musical traditions that evolved as black musicians migrated to the cities. | | | Jazz is rooted in West African cultural and musical expression and in African American music traditions, in folk blues and ragtime. |

| | ASA/EAA/DAGA '99 - Jazz Drummers' Swing Ratio in Relation to Tempo |
| | These uneven patterns not only occur in jazz but are also common in folk and popular music, as well as in classical Baroque music. | | | Rhythm is one of the most important ingredients in jazz music. | | | We did this in two ways: (1) by measuring recorded performances of well-known drummers, and (2) by letting listeners adjust the swing ratio in a synthesized jazz performance. |

| | Steve Smith: Confessions of a US Ethnic Drummer: Modern Drummer Magazine Interview |
| | If a country musician wanted a drummer on his record at that time, he hired a jazz drummer. | | | And you could extend that to today where maybe an randb drummer is playing on the first rap record in the late 70s and he’s not considering himself as a rap drummer because there was no such thing at the time. | | | This enlightening musical travelogue progress from early New Orleans jazz at the turn of the 20th century to big band jazz in the ‘30s, bop in the ‘40s, followed by rhythm ‘n’ blues, blues, country, gospel, rock ‘n’ roll, funk and culminating in ‘70s fusion. |

| | Classic Jazz Drummers-Swing and Beyond |
| | The drummer driving the band in the background is Curley Hamner, who was with Hamp for decades, and provided the heavy, randb-oriented shuffle/backbeat that the leader favored (note the 15" hi-hats) that in many ways was a precursor to rock and roll. | | | Francis was at home in virtually every musical format, whether in the bop-flavored drumming heard here, as a master swing drummer with The Savoy Sultans in the early 1970s and 1980s, and as among the first of the jazz drummers to crossover to rock and rhythm and blues studio work. | | | Classic Jazz Drummers presents six decades of legendary drummers soloing and battling, but above all fulfilling their most important role: driving the band. |

| | Dummies::Exploring Jazz Drumming |
| | Drummers in early jazz bands from the teens and 1920s chugged ahead at a consistent 1-2-1-2-1-2, or 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4, pace, laying down a solid foundation without venturing away much from the basic beat. | | | Using his hi-hat as a focal point, Jones lifted the drummer's rhythmic center from bass drum to a higher, lighter plateau, lending the music a looser feel that left more latitude for a band's leading improvisers. | | | He launched his career as a drummer in big bands led by trumpeter Bunny Berigan, clarinetist Artie Shaw, and trombonist Tommy Dorsey during the late 1930s and 1940s, and he recorded with saxophonist Charlie Parker and other bebop-style innovators of the 1940s and 1950s. |

| | Chuck Israels - Jazz Drummers, from a Bass Player/Composer's Point of View |
| | Whatever happens in the form of the music, it is usually the drummer's responsibility to direct changes of texture and dynamics in jazz ensembles. | | | How is it that the sound of the cymbal "ride" patterns of great jazz drummers is so personal that it can be identified by an experienced listener in a matter of a few measures of listening? | | | While the ride cymbal sound can make an enormous contribution to the rhythmic life of the music in the hands of a great drummer, nothing can so quickly freshen the ear of the listener as periodic relief from its sound. |

| | He was an African-American musician, a leading early jazz percussionist, and one of the first major jazz drummers on record. | | | At an early age he played drums in New Orleans parade and jazz bands, and from 1918 to 1921 he played in Fatte Marable's riverboat bands. | | | Among his most valuable documents are two albums of percussion demonstrations, with his own narration; 1940s recordings with the revival bands of Bunk Johnson and George Lewis; and late 1920s recordings on washboard, as well as on drum kit, with Johnny Dodds. |

| | Besides, if it's rock AOT jazz, a drummer still has to do his job / what it is we do...lay down a phat groovy foudation, be musically accompaniment-minded, & maybe add some zest - garlic[olaiuta], if you will...no room for snobbery there. | | | Even the smooth jazz bands are well-rehearsed;c) & had their place - it helps these other bands expose the US to a meatier musical market... | | | But, luckily there is a more open-minded kind of jazz buff - the one who will listen with big ears and accept that jazz styles are different and you just have to choose whatever you like. |
