Bachelor of Arts in Music - Jazz Drumset

DePaul University

The DePaul University Jazz Drumset Studio is principally concerned with providing enrolled students with the practical skills necessary to make them better drummers, better musicians, and better listeners. In the process, each jazz drumset student develops an ability to successfully and professionally perform in jazz, Afro Caribbean, and popular music genres. Using published method books, professor-generated handouts and guides, as well as other available media, studio members immerse themselves in rudimentary and advanced musical concepts associated with jazz and contemporary musics. Other media used include compact disc recordings, DVDs, videotaped media, poetry and dance materials and resources, literature, and other useful materials found on the Internet. Specific methods and required materials are determined in consultation with each student on a case-by-case basis.
