How to Play Drums : Basic Jazz Patterns & Drum Playing Styles

[humbertocstll33]

Good Video.

[americaneyes1]

lolz....not all jazz is in 3/4 or triplets! :P In fact not a lot of it is, unless its a jazz waltz.

[metallicarocks911]

finally a video worth watching from EV lol

[mindfreakerry]

@metallicarocks911 this kinda comments aren't funny no more cause it's getting too common. Which suggests that EV actually does have some good videos and that not all of them are bad, so stop hating on them.

[metallicarocks911]

@mindfreakerry lol i know, but its true!

[hockeyfan10121]

great drumming

[NizqoHUNK]

my dad has that shirt jajaja

[Poachman18]

yikes...

[Brutalbeatblast637]

DAMMNNN SEXXXYY!!!



[thechillindude1]

doing chicks...... lol

[terrellcannon123]

i loved your lesson and not bein a hater but why do u need the mice

[ScaRav90]

well done, liked the lesson ;)

[Rusty2540]

This is so just... wrong.

[grassman02]

What a nerd...

[Shahede7]

If you want that swing..... SUBMIT!

[bMMflash]

So the rides about finesse? Occasionally, but thats on ballad charts, when your generally using brushes anyway. The ride cymbal is the rhythm to your time. The time is the bass and the hi hat. Oh, by the way, wheres the bass? I didnt happen to hear it through the whole instructional.

Jazz needs to be strong. Its all syncopation and polyrhythms. It doesnt have to be hard, but keep it cool.

[ganshiwei]

i like it when he say 123 123 123 123 123 123

[MasthaX]

Thank you very much for these tips. I've been playing mostly basic rock for now and i want to learn out more of jazz this really helpes me find the right way to play jazz.

[superduperboxes]

1:42

He's "Just doin' chicks". Guess that's what jazz is all about.

-SHUT UUUUUUP !

[AJ2240]

@Chatbiteuh

Calm down smosh fan -_- lol

[Chatbiteuh]

@AJ2240

I was kiding, it's a good lesson ;)

[theteak]

Wow, an expert village guy who knows what he's talking about.

[drummer9042]

@theteak its a miracle

[esperantomusica]

hahaha the ending part is funny cuz i never thought he would say "never go to a jazz gig and sound like a rock guy" well that is the reason,why im lookin for jazz videos cuz id like to add pop rock to it,like marie diby and hanson ^^

[tyden13]

shuffle= triplets over 4

swing= somewhere between triplets & straight, depending on the feel, tempo & player

[studman4250]

2:21-2:31 the drummer in our highschool jazz band

[JazzieIQ]

You're good.

[jallelind]

Wait a minute... Did ExpertVillage just make a drum lesson that where actually useful?

[mastersgta1]

This guy is quite versitile. I saw some of his other videos too and he is really good! Much better than most expertvillage stuff.

[liammccartney]

Thumbs up if this guy doesn't have a girlfriend

[jallelind]

@liammccartney of course he has a girlfriend hes a drummer.

[greenday23212]

@liammccartney Thumbs up up if you think these thumbs up comments are gay

[rokkuu]

This is in 4/4 dawg bass on 1 and 3 hi hat on 2 and 4

[rokkuu]

This is in 4/4 dawg

[TheJacoco]

lawl until i watched this vid, i was trying to play rock beats 

[moogoogaipan]

"Its not about power, it's about finesse".

You might wanna kill yourself so that you can go tell Elvin Jones the he got it wrong.

[lrrlrllr]

I dont know WHAT everyone (everyone who is) complaining about here.

This guy nails it right on the head. Very sound advice and completely true on how to play jazz - as a sound approach.

???

Great video - ty for posting!

[AjaxLastStand]

You drag... a lot.

[LoliVomits]

shpang shpang shpangalang

[CheneyPinata]

Anybody else see him tipping? Anyone?

[dpspac333]

what the hell, this video is messed up, words all over the screen - useless

[MegaRBeaT]

@dpspac333 then turn off the caption then.. lol

[TheThecountereffect]

i think the rock is swing ^^

[turi73]

thanx bro.God bless you

[145DrumMaster]

why does he hold his left stick like a pencil?

[ThatNascarLover24]

@145DrumMaster That's the proper way to hold the stick when playing on a snare.

[minidude154]

@145DrumMaster its called traditional grip... most people use it for snare drums in marching band and things like that, but i guess this guy uses it for drumset too.

[Snakebite2468]

@145DrumMaster It's called traditional grip.

[145DrumMaster]

@Snakebite2468 So if heard

[ryder187mac]

"It's not about power, it's about finesse"

Say that to Tony WIlliams, the ride cymbal being the main part of jazz, it has to stand out of the mix with appropriate dynamics on it.

[muffinsNsausage]

just doin' chicks

[duckeyandjosh]

@muffinsNsausage +1

[ronartis]

Thanks Frank.... great lesson

[ronartis]

Thanks Frank .. great lesson

[TitanLeone]

Great first lesson, thanks frank!

Get some more vids up for more advanced playing.

Cheers

[druminanddriven]

I,d like to learn to play right. I've only played to music in my truck. Check me out at my channel druminanddriven. let me know if I have a chance to learn how to play the right way and what you think of my setup thanks david

[shadowrobot83]

jazz is'nt always in 3/4

[TitanLeone]

@shadowrobot83

Truesay, but it is more of a beginner lesson, right?

I mean it's alot easier to start out on a 3/4 triplet feel then it would be to start out doing 2/3 or something crazy xD

[xTravis1]

@shadowrobot83 He's not saying that the it's always 3/4.

[MrOncheOnche]

Stop talking and play ..... damn

[hullett29]

God.. Expert Village sucks ass.

[xTravis1]

@hullett29 Then dont watch.....

[gnargnarrads]

This is all you need to know to play jazz.

[aft3789]

Good job man, great video.

[ebonyice60]

spang spangalang???

[bozzioisgod44]

I've always figured it was a good thing to learn different styles :D

[slipknotstevo]

i like doing chicks

[idog2rs]

@slipknotstevo Me too

[Lurkku]

This guy is a living pussy shredder!

[steviegee89]

Never seen anybody explaining Jazz with such an untight Ride!^^

The only true thing he says is "listen to a lot of jazz"...he could have added "...because you won't get the stuff from me, 'cause I'm just a badass who wants to bore people on youtube!" :D

[wwemetalking]

THANK YOU FRANK!! =D

[tatel15]

i just don't understand why you guys always discriminate peoples uploads.

[MegaRBeaT]

@tatel15 there will always be haters... or jealous people lol..

[chrisrydr1121]

nice language ur like my friend nick smith hes 16 he says extravagant

[pto1987]

Someone should donate some money to him so he can buy a new shirt! But McLovin really is good at drumming... Can't deny that!

[callumjosephstewart]

123 123 123 123 123 123 123 lol

[lenny121]

has expert village just taken over youtube ?..

[FrancisHenson]

haha

[cookiekonichiwa]

lol that was just gay

[soundslikegreen]

imagine a deaf man learning to play the drums reading the screen at 1:04

[antigell]

Very help full Thanks a lot

[raindogred]

hahah love the rock guy at the jazz gig.

[drgerd]

THX Frank

[rmbs1965]

awesome!!! thanks.

[canadianmaple09]

The only kind of music worse than jazz is country.

[TrimTOODLE]

jazz Drumming is amazing...please just check these drummers out

Dave weckl , buddy rich, vinny ciulouta.

[canadianmaple09]

I've seen Dave Weckl and Buddy Rich before. None of them even comes close to Chad Smith... now that's real drumming.

[TrimTOODLE]

no man uv got it all completely wrong

chad is a good drummer but they are two different styles...chad is a rock drummer....jazz is much moer technical

u can't compare apples and oranges

[canadianmaple09]

Chad is more funk than rock, but that's not really important. I'm comparing two drummers. That's perfectly valid. If I was comparing a drummer to a guitarist, that would be apples to oranges. Comparing one style of drummer to another is like comparing a green apple to a red apple. Two different flavours of the same thing. And going with the apples and oranges theme, I like apples better. There. I compared them.

[joshrulz94]

Uhh..... no.... just shut up

[sammygdog183]

you obviously don't know anything about real music. I like chad smith, but he is no where near weckl or colaiuta. Anybody can play what chad does. He does it really well, but by far not the best. Back on the subject of jazz, jazz is one of the hardest genres of music to play. it is MUCH harder than rock or funk

[mannequinsmile]

. Speaking of finesse, WTF us up with that shirt and haircut? I but you're real popular with the fellas.

[spSLOVENIJE]

looool=)

[DrummerfrankD]

I like this video. Probably my fave :D

[54spiritedwill54]

[MintyMan69]

Yeah, it's clearly not meant as a joke, but it's funny to me. Especially because I'm the kind of "rock guy" that would do that.

[Andythefunkman]

simple and good. ty.

[bigshot111]

hey expertvillage where is that mohawk fag?!

[MintyMan69]
