Jazz Drumming

About this course

hi my name is Mike Mikkel co and welcome to the jazz drumming section of freedrumlessons comm I’d like to discuss with you in this portion how to create a basic jazz pattern on the ride cymbal on

the hi-hat what we can also talk about is some basic comping if you haven’t heard that word before we’ll discuss what that is we’ll do some jazz fills or even going

to play with some brushes now one thing to keep in mind when you are practicing jazz you need to develop a triplet feel unlike an eighth note rock feel or a sixteenth note Rock feel you need to

learn how to count triplets if you’re not sure here’s how you do it it’s groups of three notes per quarter note one triplet okay a whole entire bar one triplet two triplet three triplet

four triplet now if you decide to practice these with your metronome I would suggest highly to either put the quarter note on or subdivide the triplet

underneath so you can make sure that you’re lining up the proper notes on the cymbal on the snare drum on the bass drum on the hi-hat be sure to check out the exercises in the sheet music
