When you start to learn to play Jazz drums, you might not know what kind of drum gear to buy or how to set it up. This course will help you take the stress out these first important steps.

This course is a must for all beginner drummers learning Jazz.  In here, you'll learn crucial Jazz drumming techniques for beginners and gain essential Jazz drumming skills that will form the foundation for your drumming future. 

Improve your drum set independence, play Jazz Swing drum grooves and fills, trade fours and more. These are some of the most important lessons you need to learn to play Jazz drums. 

This is the next course I recommend. Here, you'll learn how to "comp" on the drums. The word "comp" is short for "accompanying." It's when we use our drums to communicate with the other musicians in the band. 

As you learn to play Jazz drums, you'll discover that brushes are as important as sticks for your playing.  Brushes give us another texture, tone and color option that blends beautifully with ballads to Bossas. 

My Brushes Mastery Course takes you from Jazz drumming techniques for beginners, like how to hold your brushes and the different sounds you can make, all the way up to using them in dozens of styles of music, playing fills and soloing. 

You'll be able to use this course through advanced level drumming.  A super choice for your Jazz drumming now and down the road. 

The first two sections of the course are great for beginners and will give you all the Jazz drumming basics you need to get up and swinging your brushes in no time.  

Now that you've got some real drumming technical skill under your belt, you'll want to practice with more music to hone your Jazz drumming skills. 

With over 120 drumless backing tracks, you'll be able to practice your new abilities and use the tracks for future course practicing too. 

In Jazz drumming we often get asked to play songs in 3/4 and 5/4 meters. When starting out, most of the songs we play are in 4/4 (4 beats to a measure) but it's good to be prepared for odd meters too.

Believe it or not, swinging your Funk beats is an important skill in Jazz drumming. Almost every gig I play involves this drumming feel at some point. 

In here, you'll learn how to take any Funk groove and swing it like Hip-Hop. Learn how to get this unique feel, 5 grooves for both hi-hat and ride cymbal and some cool drum fills. 

This course takes you into the minds of the great Jazz drummers. Learn over 100 tips for what pro Jazz drummers think and play in real music situations.
