Henrique De Almeida - Big Band Drumming

In this video Berklee Professor & Music Director for The Drum Set Coach Academy Henrique De Almeida performs one of the charts, "Little Sunflower" from his Berklee Course entitle “Drum Set Chart Reading & Rhythmic Interpretation”

"I really use this chart in a lot of my classes. It is great for practicing chart reading. It is also a great chart to practice Afro-Cuban 6/8, fast swing and other feels. It is also a great chart to demonstrate how you can imply 3/4 into a 4/4 groove. During the trumpet solo, I play a Jazz Waltz while the band is in 4/4."
