In this thesis, I explore various techniques for achieving greater melodicism with the drumset. My approach centers primarily through different arranging methods. The basis of this work is four of my own compositions, specifically arranged in order to enable melodic playing with the drumset. Within the Jazz tradition certain instruments have specific roles. For example, the drums usually have an accompanying role behind the soloists and melody presentation. This is key within the context of the music however, in this project I try to discover the other musical roles primarily melodic and soloistic expression, with the drumset. This work could be of value to any jazz musician wanting to learn more about how different musical roles can influence improvisation and their general playing, and especially for those drummers wishing to develop their melodic playing.
