This course gives you the real secrets of Jazz drumming, teaching you how to play musically, listen to the band, and respond naturally in any Jazz setting. You’ll learn key techniques like ride cymbal playing, hi-hat control, brushwork, comping, trading fours, and smooth, swinging drum fills.

These Jazz drumming lessons also focus on musical skills like using space, dynamics, call-and-response, articulation, and melody to shape your drumming and connect with the music. You’ll also learn how to recover from mistakes, transition between sections, and choose when to play or leave space.

By the end, you’ll have the confidence, control, and creativity to swing harder, support the music, and play Jazz drums with a natural, expressive feel.
