| **If you're interested in a new membership in TJEA, please email webmaster@tjea.org for a membership application and payment link.** Thursday, May 16, 2013 Many people have been asking about drumset etudes and their play along tracks. As mentioned in the packet, drumset play-along tracks will be made available for free download on this website on or before July 1, 2013. Due to the expiration of our contract with the publishers this year, we are moving to a new system of highlighting nationally-recognized, Texas jazz composers for the drumset etudes. From the packet: Drum etudes are edited and taken from versions of published big band charts. Drumset play-along tracks will be made available by July 1, 2013. Visit www.tjea.org for more details. Full charts and full recordings are available from the composers/publishers listed on the "Editor's Note" sheet in the packet. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
