Check out our Virtual Office hours - a place to go to see if perhaps I've already answered a question you have!
See the "READING" link for notes and powerpoints and, (at the bottom of that page!) both ANSWERS and SOLUTIONS to many clicker question!

The modern drum kit was developed by jazz drummers in the 1920s and '30s. One of the greatest innovators was Chick Webb, shown above with fellow jazz giants Artie Shaw and Duke Ellington. The first drummer to play the jazz ride cymbal beat may have been Warren 'Baby' Dodds (audio clips here). Gene Krupa (watch) popularized the drum solo in the swing era, and was an important influence for many rock drummers.
