Endorsements
- “One of the most comprehensive and practical drum books I have ever seen. Each chapter addresses a specific aspect of jazz drumming in a clear and organized manner. Much of what he shares could only have come from someone who actually works as a jazz drummer. As a fellow Berklee drummer and former Alan Dawson student I am honored to endorse it.” – Joe La Barbera
- “I was lucky enough to study privately with Casey at Berklee for a few semesters in the mid '90s. I was always awestruck by his encyclopedic knowledge about drums and music, but more importantly, his teaching method and philosophy made the transition from practice room to performance attainable and logical. This excellent book exemplifies his concise, practical, and easy-to-grasp approach, greatly needed because a lot of drummers suffer from too much practicing without properly being able to translate technique into actual musical thoughts. Berklee Jazz Drums is a must-have for serious drummers that want to think of themselves as musicians first. Very well structured, easy to understand and no bull. Congratulations Casey, on a beautiful, monumental work.” – Antonio Sanchez
- “Casey's book Berklee Jazz Drums is amazing. I have never before seen a book that has everything you want to know about jazz drumming: reading the charts, some very hip exercises. Exceptional book. A great work!” – Colin Bailey
