Info on my book:

Internalization
a non reading-intensive approach to jazz drum set phrasing and independence

can be found at: www.internalization.net

This book presents a unique approach to jazz drumming education which I have been using successfully for many years.

some reviews:

"Alan Hall's "Internalization" has unique and innovative concepts for developing a fluent jazz drumming independence and vocabulary. Check it out!"
-Steve Smith, "Vital Information", former drummer with" Journey" and "Steps Ahead", author, clinician

"Alan Hall's book"Internalization" is so packed with patterns and ideas that it may seem impossible to get through it all.."
-Peter Magadini, author of 'Polyrhythms", clinician, teacher

"This is the book I've been waiting for. It contains the drum vocabulary I need to speak "Jazz" on the drumset. It provides a tool kit to build comping and soloing ideas: not a series of phrases that one might never be called upon to use, but all the right stuff to make your own phrases and develop your own ideas."
-Brad Sauders, student
