#3 Jazz Drum Comping
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 rhythm to the other musicians in the band.
In here, you'll learn the next level of independence exercises to learn to play Jazz drums. You'll also improve your listening and know when to play and what to play in real music situations.
This course will take you from beginner jazz drum beats up through intermediate level Jazz drumming. A great choice for your drumming now and later.
#4 Brushes Mastery Course

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.

#6 Odd Meter Jazz Drumming
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.
As you progress and learn to play Jazz drums you'll start to encounter songs in 3/4 (3 beats to a measure) and 5/4 (5 beats to a measure).
Don't worry if this all sounds confusing. In here, you'll replace your confusion with confidence. You'll be able to play both Swing Jazz drum beats and drum fills in 3/4 and 5/4.
This course will help you with beginner Jazz drum beats up through intermediate level drumming. An excellent choice to expand your drumming skills now and in the future.
#7 Jazz Funk Drumming
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.
