Welcome to the Drum Lessons Starter Pack - Jazz Drumming For Beginners


SKILL LEVEL: Beginner

Just Getting Started With Jazz Drums? I’ve Got You.

If you’ve been wondering how to play Jazz drums for beginners without feeling overwhelmed or lost, this Starter Pack is exactly what I wish I had when I was starting out.

We’ll go step-by-step through the basic Jazz drum patterns, grooves, fills, and even brush techniques that form the foundation of Jazz. You’ll learn how to swing, how to comp, how to trade 4s, and how to actually sound like a Jazz drummer.

You don’t need any prior experience playing Jazz, just your sticks and a little curiosity.

Here’s What You’ll Learn

This course pack is built specifically for beginners who want to start playing Jazz drums right away. Here’s what we’ll cover:
  • Solid, beginner Jazz drum beats and fills
  • How to use drum brushes (yep—you’ll actually learn brushing early)
  • Easy coordination exercises that improve your independence
  • How to comp on the drums with confidence
  • Real-world Jazz drumming tips you can use in any playing situation

Whether you’ve played drums for years or you’re just picking up sticks for the first time—this course will get you swingin’.

What’s Inside This Pack

This is your foundation. We’ll cover grip, ride cymbal technique, coordination, and the most important beginner Jazz drum beats.

  • 14 beginner-friendly video lessons
  • Practice PDFs and play-along tracks included
  • Just over 3 hours of drumming instruction

“The hi-hat lesson alone was gold. Worth the whole course.” – Jonathan M.

“Your comping breakdowns made this stuff finally click.” – Ron D.

Brushes Essentials (Free Preview From My Brushes Mastery Course)
