I have my dad's old snare drum, a practice pad, a pair of sticks, and Buddy Rich's book of rudiments. I'd like to get better at jazz drumming, because I occasionally have to for a band I'm in. Currently, I can play a simple beat with 3 limbs - e.g. bass on 1 and 3; high hat on 2 and 4; and swung quavers on the ride or playing the snare (but not both). Are there ways to use the snare to practise this kind of coordination, as well as rudiments?


Question: Any omitted word in this sentence?
Answer: Chandler's style works to describe the scene and actions but grammatically there are several redundancies such as "fall (down)", "after he hit (it) (he)", "for all the fuss (he) made". All of these point to possible improvements. Also the floor-hitting face should be reversed to "then his face hit the floor". So, in my opinion, there are no missing words but several extra could be eliminated.
