The Arranger

Part types explained

Pick the right kind of chart for each chair.

1. Notation (horns): standard written parts.
2. Chord or slash chart: for rhythm and comping.
3. Drum road-map: the form and hits for the kit.
4. Video (sheet + backing): a clip with the part baked in.

Tip. Mix types in one tune. A rhythm chair can read slashes while horns read dots.

You will end up with: Every chair reads in the format that suits it.
