Feeling lost trying to learn Jazz drums? Let’s fix that.

If you’ve been bouncing between random YouTube videos, getting more confused with every Swing beat demo, or just staring at your kit thinking, “Where do I even start?”, you’re not alone. I made these beginner Jazz drum lessons to give you a clear, step-by-step path that actually makes sense. No fast-forwarding through complicated explanations. No feeling behind before you’ve even begun. Just real help, from one drummer to another.

My Beginner Jazz Drums Complete Course Pack is all about helping drummers start strong without the stress of figuring it all out alone. If you’re totally new or switching from another style, I’ll help you get swinging with step-by-step Jazz drumming lessons online that feel more like jamming with a friend than a classroom lecture.

These are real-deal Jazz drumming lessons for beginners that’ll help you sound good from day one.

Solve The #1 Problem Beginner Jazz Drummers Face

I hear this all the time, “I don’t even know where to start.” Maybe you’ve been watching random videos online. Or you’ve tried some books or taken a few lessons but still feel kind of stuck. That’s normal. Most of the stuff out there either moves too fast, assumes you already know something, or just doesn’t explain why you’re doing what you’re doing.

This course pack fixes that.

I’ll help you set up your gear so it’s comfortable. Walk you through the basic Jazz drumming techniques that are actually used on gigs. And I’ll help you build the independence, coordination, and feel you need to sound like you belong in the band.

No guesswork. Just clear, relaxed beginner Jazz drum lessons that work.

If You’re Still Unsure, Here’s the Bottom Line

This course pack is for you if:

  • You want to learn Jazz drums but feel overwhelmed
  • You’ve tried other lessons that just didn’t click
  • You need someone to break things down in a clear, supportive way
  • You want to sound musical from the beginning, not just technical
  • You want to go from total beginner to confident, capable Jazz drummer

I’ve taught thousands of lessons, and I still get excited helping someone figure out their first Swing beat, their first comping pattern, or that aha! moment with brushes.

These beginner Jazz drum lessons are the start of that journey for you.

And I’ll be here every step of the way.

Let’s do this.
After just a few weeks, Jazz Drum School (Beginner Jazz Drums Complete Course Pack) has helped me a lot in bringing my drumming skills into a more musical context. I now have a better sense of what to play and why. Von Baron is incredibly helpful and answers all kinds of questions. Amazing! I’m excited for everything that’s yet to come!

Here’s What You’ll Actually Learn

#1 Beginner Drum Kit Setup

Most beginner drummers I talk to don’t even know where to start with their gear, and I don’t blame them. Drum kits are confusing. I’ll help you figure out what to buy, how to set it up the right way, and how to make it feel good to play.

Because if your drums are uncomfortable, you won’t want to practice. And I want you to love sitting down to play.

#2 Intro To Jazz Drumming

This is where your beginner Jazz drum lessons officially begin. We’ll get into basic Swing grooves and how to play Jazz drum beats. You’ll start building your feel, timing, and creativity in ways that sound musical.

You’ll also get into trading fours (soloing), playing fills, and playing like a real Jazz drummer, even if this is your first time behind the kit.

#3 Jazz Drum Comping

Most new Jazz drummers have no idea what to play when the band gets going. That was me too. In this course, I’ll show you how to talk with your drums. How to play rhythms that fit the music and support the group.

You’ll build your drum set independence, start making decisions in real-time, and gain confidence for actual playing situations.

#4 Brushes Mastery Course

I used to think brushes were just for ballads, then I learned how powerful they are. In this course, I’ll show you how to use brushes from the ground up. 

Holding them, sweeping patterns, playing grooves, fills, and solos. It’s a whole new world of expression, and it’s one of the best parts of learning Jazz drums.

#5 Rudiment Power

Learning drum rudiments can feel dry unless you learn how to actually use them. I’ll show you all 40 rudiments, yes, but more importantly, I’ll show you how to turn them into music. Better technique, better sound, and more fun when you sit down to play.

#6 Odd Meter Jazz Drumming

We start in 4/4 like most songs, but eventually, you’ll get asked to play in 3/4 or 5/4. This course makes that stuff way less scary. I’ll help you build your internal clock so that playing in these time signatures feels natural, not stressful. You’ll still be swinging, just in a new way.

#7 Jazz Funk Drumming

At some point, someone’s going to call a tune that’s got that Funky Swing vibe and I want you to be ready.

We’ll take basic Funk grooves and give them a Hip-Hop swing so they still sit in the pocket, but feel totally Jazz. Super fun stuff. You’ll also learn some cool Jazz drum fill patterns along the way.

#8 Secrets of Jazz Drumming

There are little things that no one tells you, until you’ve been on hundreds of gigs. This course is where I spill all those secrets. How to listen better, how to clean up your sound, how to play with soloists, how to make your drumming feel right in the moment. It’s like years of street smarts in one course.
