Alfred Publishing Artist Series Paul Wertico Drum Philosophy 英文正式版(爵士教材)(DVD一片裝) 








Like many of you, as a student of the instrument I would emphasize the need to 
sit down and view Paul Wertico’s Drum Philosophy DVD in its entirety. Not only 
will you enjoy this DVD, I can assure you that you will find Paul’s insights 
invaluable with respect to playing the drum set in a true musical and melodic 
sense. Also, thanks to Alfred Publishing for their ongoing commitment to the 
types of instructional gems such as the one we have here in Drum Philosophy.

If you’re not old enough or just haven’t been fortunate enough to experience 
Paul Wertico, here is some background…

In the early 1980’s, Paul Wertico became the drummer for the legendary Pat Metheny 
Group, and while with them, earned an unbelievable seven Grammy Awards which 
included Best Jazz Fusion Performance, Best Contemporary Jazz Performance, and 
Best Rock Instrumental Performance. After leaving the Pat Metheny Group in 2001, 
Paul co-led the critically acclaimed trio, Spontaneous Combustion and Earwax 
Control, of which a performance can be seen on the Drum Philosophy DVD. Paul 
also still performs with his closest mates, themselves renowned musical legends 
(Laurence Hobgood – Keyboards, John Moulder – Guitar, Eric Hochberg – Bass in 
the Paul Wertico Trio. These are the musicians on the performing on the DVD; and 
they also share their thoughts on Paul Wertico’s musicality. (see Paul’s website 
@ paulwertico.com for a much more comprehensive anthology of his experience and 
the many albums to his credit.

These days, Paul Wertico is as busy as ever since recently receiving a full time 
appointment as Assistant Professor and Head of Jazz Studies at the Chicago College 
of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University.

Back to Paul Wertico Drum Philosophy… Teaching comes naturally to Paul, his 
calmness while explaining his musical philosophies seems to complement the looseness 
and tension free feel that he displays on the drum kit. His approach to drums is 
to produce tonal and melodic musicality; much like an artist creates layers of 
colors, one over the other that ultimately creates the desired feel. Paul Wertico 
also has the most developed sense of hearing the music that I’ve ever observed; 
and he offers some great advice on the overall sound of your kit. He also explains 
his ability to remove himself from the song which is very important because we must 
always remember that being a professional musician is not all about self-indulgence, 
but about the listener’s perception.

In Drum Philosophy, Wertico spends ample time explaining how each performance piece 
was created and the type of feel he was going for. He spends quite a bit of time 
discussing the importance of every part of the song and what it is trying to convey. 
In other words, there should be no wasting of musical moments. The chapters include:

Stick Technique to get the sound you are looking for (check out Paul’s recommendation 
on using knitting needles instead of sticks in situations to bring out additional 
tones which is demonstrated in Time Impulse)

Melody on playing to the melody; which cuts right down to the type of musicality that
can be achieved on the drum set.

Ghost Notes where Paul shows how he uses them to enhance overall tone and dynamics, 
especially on the cymbals to enhance greater speed.

Drummer advice where Paul offers solid tips on practice, and an explanation of as to 
how the notion of time and feel are really quite different. This also leads into a 
stunning performance called Time Impulse, which is a freestyle frenzy which exemplifies 
his ability to dig deep within and play off each of the other musicians.

Great performances with subsequent explanations & breakdowns of original tunes such as 
The Smuggler, Cowboys and Africans, which all the while demonstrate Paul Wertico’s 
philosophy of musicality, movement and melodic expression.

Paul Wertico Drum Philosophy offers a framework to playing the instrument not just as 
a drummer, but as a true musician. I highly recommend this DVD as it really does 
represent what I would consider a fresh approach to the drums from the perspective 
of pure musicality.

Lastly, to those graduating high school this year or next, and are considering numerous 
musical programs to further their education, I would strongly suggest adding to your 
list the Jazz Studies Program with Paul Wertico at the Chicago College of Performing 
Arts at Roosevelt University.
