Hey guys, hopefully this is alright to post here. If it isn't and this ends up getting taken down, PM me ya'll!Here's the pamphlet Julian handed out at his masterclass.

I'm not sure if it's all actually John Zorn material, or if it's Zorn material with Julian's annotations, but either way, here it is! It's some bigger picture stuff that'll help add some perspective to your own playing, and maybe help you try things you wouldn't normally try. If you're considering purchasing a ticket to Julian's masterclass, definitely do it! This pamphlet is a small supplemental document to the class; hearing him explain and play will be exponentially more helpful than just the pamphlet.Also, if you're interested in even more goodies, PM me.
Louie Bellson is featured in a YouTube video entitled 'Louie Bellson solo. 1967' posted by erwigfilms. I've transcribed 21 bars of his drum solo which will give an insight into how he sticks the figures.
You'll notice the 1st two eighth notes of the 5th bar are for the floor tom followed by the snare. Both notes are struck with the right stick. This is done by striking the floor tom with your right hand in an almost upside down position, then whipping the stick around to the snare drum by turning your wrist.
This is a classic Louie Bellson move that many of the drummers from the Big Band/Swing Area would use including Buddy Rich and Jake Hanna. Steve Gadd popularized the Mozambique beat on recordings such as 'My Spanish Heart' by Chick Corea. On the recording of 'Seven Steps To Heaven' from the Ben Sidran album entitled 'The Cat And The Hat', Steve plays his signature cowbell pattern. At 2:43 minutes into the track he plays a nice fill which seamlessly fits within the pattern he's playing. Art Taylor recorded Monk & Klook's tune 'Epistrophy' in 1960 for his album entitled 'AT's Delight'. Sony genezi mhc gn800 manual download.
At 4:51 minutes AT, as he was known, launches into a beautifully melodic drum solo. I chose the first four bars of the solo to transcribe because of his use of the Hi-Hat to divide the melody he plays on the snare and rack tom.
