EVERY JOHN WASSON CHART
LEARNING JOHN WASSON ON DRUMS
3 John Wasson drum parts are transcribed here, 783 bars of music in total, filed under big band, american, blues and jazz. Every one of them is a chart read from a real score rather than a tab somebody typed out: the notes are where the score put them, the tempo is the record’s own, and the page plays the recording underneath while you read.
Nothing here asks you to play it at full speed on the first pass. Take any chart down to half tempo, loop the four bars that will not come clean, and bring it back up. Each one also has a simplified version, with the hi-hat pulled back, the ghost notes taken out and the fills written as eighths on the snare.
A good place to start is "Caravan" at 140 BPM, the slowest of them, or "Caravan" at 42 bars, the shortest. Sheet music, tab, MIDI and MusicXML download from every chart if you would rather read it away from the screen.
