Yes indeed. Big band/jazz drummers need to be
good readers too. The parts are complex - lots of
rhythmic interaction with brass and saxes.

Not hopefully as painful though as what is portrayed in this film ...

Whiplash is a great film. Music college reality is tough
but not that tough:-) But there is a strong competitive
spirit even in non-pro bands.

By the way, there was considerable "artistic licence"
in the script of Whiplash regarding the Charlie Parker/
Jo Jones cymbal hurling incident.
