My Jazz Drum Comping mini course teaches you the nuts and bolts of comping on the drums. Whether you are new to Jazz drumming or a working drummer, you'll learn important concepts and skills in my course to improve your playing.  

There are 6 drum set comping lessons including exercises and concepts. Many of the lessons also have a PDF with the exercises written out for you. I've even thrown in 3 drumless tracks + the PDF drum charts and 5 real playing examples from my gigs. 

When it comes to the art of Jazz music, the drum kit serves as the backbone, the heartbeat that propels the band forward. Jazz drum "comping" (short for accompanying) is the intricate dance of rhythm and creativity that a drummer weaves into his/her fellow musicians' parts. 

This is especially true for playing behind soloists and with other rhythm section players. Drum comping shapes the unique sound of Jazz.

Jazz is often described as a conversation between instruments, with each player contributing their unique voice. Drummers, in particular, have an opportunity to be a part of this conversation. This is where comping comes in.

Comping is rhythmic counterpoint that complements and uplifts the solos and rhythm section playing.  It's the grease on the wheels of improvisation. 

Comping is also active listening. Drummers need to hear and respond to the rhythmic, melodic and harmonic choices of their fellow musicians. 

They can then support their ideas and give targeted rhythmic support. The goal is not to overpower the soloist. Instead we want to elevate their solo to a higher musical experience. 

To do all of this, you’ll need to have some serious drumming independence under your belt. This Jazz Drum Comping mini course will give you a solid start. 

If you are new to Jazz drumming, you may also want to enroll in my Intro to Jazz Drumming course. Learn beginning drumming exercises, drummer independence, drum grooves, drum fills and Jazz drums concepts.
