FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)

Why learn Jazz drumming?

Jazz drumming coordination, musicianship and varied styles of playing make it a powerful foundation for every drummer.

I've always said, if you learn Jazz drumming, everything else is a piece of cake. It's also incredibly fun!  There is great creative freedom in Jazz drumming to interact with and respond to the music. 

Finish my courses at Jazz Drum School, and you'll transform into a dynamic, versatile drummer, ready to crush Jazz and any other style you enjoy playing.

What can you offer that I can't get at other online drum schools or lessons?

Really Learn To Play

Learning Jazz drumming technique is only 50% of the skill needed to play Jazz drums successfully on the bandstand. The other 50% is knowing how to connect that technique to the music.

Nearly all online drumming courses stop at learning drum fills, grooves and patterns on the kit. My over 300 lessons here at the School, will help you learn those skills and use them in real playing situations.

Connecting your drumming to real music and real musicians' playing is our goal and essential for your success.

All In One Place

A YouTube survey I conducted on my channel showed that 83% of drummers also feel that there is either too much information shared online or it's very difficult to find the lessons they need for their Jazz drumming. 

At Jazz Drum School I've got all the lessons you need in one place saving you loads of time and money. 

Can I watch the course videos on my phone?

Yes! You can use any web browser on your iPhone or Android mobile device and tablet to easily play course videos and track your progress.

In addition to your mobile devices, you can enjoy lessons on your laptop or desktop computers.

Where should I start?

If you're new to Jazz drumming, I recommend starting with the Starter Pack or Total Lessons Course Pack. You'll learn a rock-solid foundation for your Jazz drumming.

Other course packs are also available including:


To help you improve your Jazz Drumming skills quickly, I also recommend checking out my drum practice tracks below. These are real musicians playing real music that will get you swinging like a pro. The Total Lessons Course Pack includes all of these too!

1. Jazz Standards tracks
2. Trading 4's and 8's tracks
3. Time and Feel tracks
4. Drum Jam tracks

Should I follow the lessons sequentially?

My Jazz drumming courses are designed to move from one lesson to the next. I encourage you not to jump around.

There may be concepts or specific skills you hadn't thought of or learned, so moving sequentially will ensure that you cover everything.

Can I contact Von Baron with drumming questions?

Yes, absolutely! At Jazz Drum School we have our own messaging system. Send me a message anytime with questions about your Jazz drumming or the courses and I'll be happy to help!

You can access your messages through your login page under "MY ACCOUNT". Please see the pic below.
I also have a monthly live stream Drum Lab class. This is a great place to ask questions and learn with other students in real time. You are enrolled for free in Drum Lab when you enroll in any course, course pack or Groove Pass at Jazz Drum School. 

Is there a trial period?

Yes. Since all of my courses and course packs have many downloads, I don’t offer a trial for lifetime purchases. What you can do, is start in the Groove Pass, which comes with a one-day free trial. That way, you can explore everything first. You can then switch to a Course Pack, Individual Course or keep learning with the Groove Pass.

Are there refunds?

Thanks so much for your understanding! Due to the high volume of downloads included in each course, I’m not able to offer refunds. That said, I truly want you to have a great experience. So if you have any concerns, feel free to message me directly at the School. I’ll do my best to make things great for you.

If you’re on a Groove Pass plan, you can cancel anytime. You’ll still have full access to your courses until your current plan expires.

How do I access my courses?

After your purchase is complete, you will be directed to your login/start page. Scroll down and you will see all of the courses you have enrolled in.

You can then click on the course you'd like to continue and it will open the course video player. Please see the screen recording below for how to access your course and the PDF and MP3 downloads. (There is no audio for this screen recording)

Can I pay in my currency?

All prices at Jazz Drum School are listed in US Dollars, but most credit cards will automatically convert the amount to your local currency—making checkout easy and smooth. Some banks may require a quick confirmation for online purchases, so be sure to check your email or text messages in case any authorization is needed.

Jazz Drum School uses trusted payment platforms Stripe and PayPal to make your payment process smooth and secure.  Once your purchase is complete, you’ll be automatically taken to your login start page so you can jump right into your lessons!
