What is Jazz Drum Set Comping?

Jazz drum set comping is when you play rhythms that support and interact with the rest of the band. It’s about adding to the music, improvising, and creating a vibe that goes along with the soloists and melody.

Why Jazz Drum Set Comping is Important

Comping is a must-have skill for any Jazz drummer. It helps you keep the groove going, work with the other musicians, and bring your own creative touch to the music. When you’re good at comping, you can play in any band setting and really make the music come to life.

Course Reviews

Von, I just wanted to thank you for creating these amazing courses. The Jazz Drum Comping mini course was also awesome and now I have a good bunch of exercises for practicing everyday.

I've never seen a faster improvement in my drumming than with your teaching. Also I'd like to remark about the incredible improvement in my music reading capabilities, by practicing your exercises every single day. You're not only a drum teacher but, most important, a MUSIC teacher.

Your work as a teacher is invaluable for people like me. With very complicated work schedules, it is impossible for me to attend a "traditional" music school, so Jazz Drum School has been a blessing for me and I'm so happy that you can be my teacher, although you're in Japan and I'm in Spain!

I've just purchased the Drum Lessons Power Pack and now I'm starting with brushes!
