This is a little improvisation of some basic Jazz drumming. As mentioned, I am a BEGINNER in both Jazz Drumming and the usage of traditional grip. I will appreciate any input or suggestions on improving my not-so-developed jazz drumming abilities.

  • Sounds great dude and you seem to be a much better drummer than me so i cant give much advice, all i'd recommend is play higher up the ride with the tip to avoid it ringing so much because that can be a bit overpowering for jazz. Although this video is from 2009 so this probably falls on already-knowledgeable ears!

  • this isn't easy. don't listen to him.

  • dont play crashes only in 2 and 4

  • Swing it more!!!!

  • you gotta play with a swing!

  • don't play so loud on that ride

  • sick ride. hyea dude be afraid to lay down some some space in fills. Lay the heck of the kick in jazz.

  • Dynamics???

  • the ride is beautifull !!!  bya the Brazil !!! Mr. Josimar Aracajau-Se-Brazil
