"The Jazz Drummer's Reading Workbook" by Tom Morgan is an excellent resource for students hoping to improve their understanding of jazz/swing styles. The book explains the interpretation and reading of jazz-specific drumset charts through a progressive structure, starting with isolated concepts and gradually increasing the complexity by combining those ideas. Most of the exercises and etudes have playalong tracks (both with & without drummers) recorded by live musicians, giving immediate, realistic application to students' practice sessions. Each concept is tested through one of the 5 included combo charts, bridging the gap from practice to performance.
