Basic Jazz Pattern - In this drum lesson, you will learn the basic jazz drumming pattern that is the foundation for most jazz drum beats. It requires a fair amount of independence, so you will learn it through progressive steps. This will simplify the entire learning process, and get you playing jazz with greater ease. Watch the included video to get started.
Jazz Drum Beats - This drum lesson teaches six unique jazz drumming beats that you can use at your next jazz gig. They build upon the basic jazz pattern covered in one of our previous drum lessons, and take the limb-independence to the next level. You can get started by watching the included video lesson, and then take them to your kit!
Jazz Drum Fills - This lesson teaches four basic jazz drum fills that you can use with the jazz drum beats we teach here at FreeDrumLessons.com. These patterns are fairly basic, but will enable you to eventually start creating your own unique patterns. Start by mastering these fills, and then modify them with your own ideas.
Jazz Brush Beats - The brush beats covered in this video lesson are essential for anyone serious about playing jazz music on the drums. Many jazz gigs will require that you have a basic understanding of how to use brushes, and this lesson will give you a solid foundation on which to build upon. Watch the included video to get started.
Snare Drum Comping - The snare drum comping exercises in this lesson are designed to improve your left-hand control within jazz drumming. All of the patterns are based around the basic jazz pattern, but include unique snare drum patterns designed to challenge your limb-independence. Practice the beats slowly at first to ensure you are playing them right.
Bass Drum Comping - These bass drum comping exercises are designed to build independence within your bass drum foot. They work the same way the snare drum comping patterns do, but are focused around the bass drum. They are great for jazz drumming, but are sure to improve many other areas of your drumming at the same time.
Snare & Bass Drum Comping - This lesson includes six challenging beats that include both snare and bass drum comping. These grooves are sure to challenge your limb-independence, and take your jazz drumming to a new level. Work through them slowly at first, and then increase the speed as you become more confident.
