The difference between rock and jazz drumming is crazy like two separate instruments
Team Sapphire_ EG So true! I was a rock drummer my whole life, and decided in my late 40’s to buckle down and really try to learn to play jazz...I ended up playing guitar 😂

@Sandro dugladze L
A good deal of drums playing is related to motor skills. I’d guess that these things such as limbs independence and sticks control will continue to be useful.. right? I hope, I’m a rock drummer taking its first jazz class. Reply if you think it’s time for an update on this comment
@@Spreadsheeter update pls
The hardest part of this is gonna be keeping my knee out of the kick action. For real, half the practice is gonna be learning to feather, not hammer like I always do.
JeredtheShy have you learnt dynamics already :)?
Keep your heel down
Dude, you make it real easy to learn. Not only are you a good player, you're a great teacher. Thank you.
Thanks Aswin!
I am trying to get into Jazz drumming and find your lessons very good, so keep up the good work and I wish you all the best ! Thanks !
+HANAN. Anand Thank you!
My son has infected me with the drum-virus. He plays rock/hiphop while I'm into jazz. I'm building a small jazz-kit from a 60 year old Emperador kit and some beautiful vintage Yamaha-toms from the same era. It's not easy to pick up jazz drumming for a 57 year old blues-harmonicaplayer but your lessons are gold to me !! Thanks you very much !!
This light tapping is going to be HAAAAARD!
I practice my blast beats midday playing as loud as I can, and practice this stuff at night as quietly as I can. My dynamic control is getting pretty good lol.
thank you very very much!!
greetings from austria
I'm watching through your videos so that I can play with my dad on guitar :)
We played together the other day for the first time in many years, and I could only play the most basic jazz and shuffle beats, since I've always played rock. I'm hoping to diversify my skills and get more competent with swing styles so that I can get creative and improvise!
I seriously loved both Introduction to Jazz videos. You have no idea how difficult it has been to get a good grip of playing jazz.
I'd recommend going to the end of the video first and see what it should sound like, just so you can have in the back of your mind the correct way of playing while you learn.
Good tip, thanks Bryce!
you give the best lessons i've ever seen, easy,i cant belive how much i've improved with just watching it a two times, please keep this lessons going, and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a simple and clear way.Thank you.
you have made this 11 years ago, and still are useful for people, congrats!
Can you do a lesson for Jazz brushing technique? that would be a further help!
Another great lesson. Thank you. I'm finally feeling like I can learn jazz drums. Will be a lot of work, but worth it.
That's great to hear Mark! Thanks for watching and let me know if I can answer any questions.
Very good 😊 explanation sir
Thank you 😊 very much sir
Now I am at part 2... part one ..top end
I'm learning jazz drums thanks to you! Keep up the good work!
Glad to hear it! Let me know if I can answer any questions. You can find a lot of info on the link in the description, and a discussion linked in the sidebar if you have questions while you're working through the lessons. Enjoy!
Listened and following the lesson very carefully, loved it, ! Thank you !
+HANAN. Anand That’s great! Let me know if I can answer any questions as you go on. Part 3 is pretty easy after working through part 2. Enjoy!
Thanks !
Great lesson, thanks
My pleasure!
You are amazing for doing this! Thank you for helping other drummers.
I’ve been learning drums for about 4 months practicing every day because I’m in lockdown. I can blast beat no trouble but jazz is way harder! Who would have thought lol
Dude you need to to a video on how to play soft enough for jazz drum. I trying to teach my buddy how to play jazz drums and he is beating his kit like it's a rock concert. I'm trying to show him the control of restraint. I like your videos it's helping me show him the ways 👍
I'm a rock drummer and now I'm interested in learning jazz drumming, it's kinda hard but it seems cool tho, anyways, thankyou for making a tutorial for those who want to start learning jazz drumming like me!
Thank you sir for supporting me jazz drum thank you so much
You are very welcome!
Thanks for your lessons... Maybe you can add a list song's which we can play along... Thanks again!
Thanks Vladimir! You can find a list and lots more on my website at nkmdrums.com/jazz All Blues by Miles Davis on the album Kind of Blue is a good start, and Moanin’ on the album Moanin’ (1958), with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.
thank u for making these lessons
Merci ! Замечательный урок, все понятно.
I'm about to buy an electric dum set. I play guitar but just wanna record music and I could play all the instruments. And I'm saying that loosely. I can keep a beat but I wanna be able to play well. But, I just found a Travis barker drum tutorial and I found your videos and I'm super excited to practice and hopefully become a drummer. Thank you for the content and this is the 2nd video ive seen and I cant wait until next week. Cant wait to check out more vids
great video. thanks, bruv
Congratulations for your work. Thank you.
thanks man , awesome teacher
+Lucía Gea Thank you Lucía!
Thanks for sharing 🙏🎶✨
Thank you for posting this....
great
Thanks Irving!
That's a solid lesson! Thnx a lot...
Thank You
My pleasure Mike. Thanks for watching!
I never understood where to put the snare in the most basic jazz groove, its like there were no videos for it, finally i found one!, Also can u show me some videos on basic jazz fills? I am a rock drummer and i would like to learn jazz too.
+Adip Ahuja (Rubik Shooter) Hey Adip, thanks for checking out the video. I'm glad it was helpful! There are so many great ways to learn jazz fills and soloing and I'm sure there are some good videos on youtube on the subject. Check out the book "The Art of Bop Drumming" by John Riley. It has a few pages on sort of "ready-made" fills you can plug right in and get started with. Also, the triplet rolls with accents in the back of the book "Syncopation" by Ted Reed are a classic start. I'll post more jazz videos soon. Have fun!
+Niels Myrner Thanks a lot!
Same here Adip! Really cool fill and the way it was shown
The next three videos are posted now (they weren't available when Adip made his original post) enjoy!

What video do you recommend to watch and learn next.
Thank you for this lesson, but I'm more interested in your Ride Cymbal. Of course it's an "Istanbul-Mehmet"; but which model? Is it a "Legend Dark"?
Thanks for a fast reply!
Thank u very much !!! ;)
Good job i really like it, do have more lessons? am just a beginner
İts the 2. Lesson and it is hard af even now
Yes it’s challenging for sure. Especially because we’re focusing on depth and quality. Just take a little at a time and try to enjoy it. Create your own variations, and do lots of listening.
Great lessons, thanks so much! The hardest thing for me is to count while playing - I can play the whole lesson easily if I don't count, but I do realize that counting is important so I press on in spite of having to go donkey slow. That is true of some other beats I practice as well. Any ideas? Thanks again!
It’s worth doing, and going slow is great. At some point you can evolve the process into singing/simplified counting. The important thing is that the connection is there-that you are musically engaged. The short answer is: if you can’t then do, if you can then you don’t need to. I hope that helps!
@@nielsmyrner I like "if you can’t then do" because any time I can't do something I always want to do it! So I will persevere, thank you! It seems I am asking a different part of my brain to do the counting, which is why the coordination becomes difficult, even with such simple patterns. Should I practice at a comfortable speed without counting as well as slowing down while learning to count? Or give it up and start from scratch and count every time? Ted Reed says we should count out loud if we want to become good readers. AAaaaaarrrgh!! ;) I practice Stick Control and rudiments galore - should I be counting then, too? Thanks for the help, great teacher much appreciated.
@K. Peralta This is a tough question to answer without actually seeing you play and knowing more about your situation. In my experience, watching students grow as musicians over 5-20 year periods, the ones who learn to count are driving race cars while the ones who don't are pulling carts. It's a whole section of your brain. It connects the highly developed language center of your brain to your musicianship. It's like turning on the lights. At first, you might not like what you see, but it sure will help you clean the house. ;) Did you know neurologists actually use music to teach people how to speak again after suffering a traumatic brain injury? Neuro-plasticity www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5619060/ and jonlieffmd.com/blog/music-training-and-neuroplasticity Search around for lots more! I'll leave you with one exception: students who sing what they play rather than counting it, have also done well. That means singing the actual sounds of the drums however they sound to you. This is really just another method of counting. Kids are often taught rhythm through nursery rhymes, etc. I believe that works just as well. The benefit of using a numbered counting system is that it allows you to communicate with other musicians (like language) and it allows you to read and write music easily.
Last thing-if you're already playing at a pretty high level, and counting just completely ruins everything for you (not uncommon for adult students) then just practice playing and counting separately for a while. Put them together after it's not a struggle any more. That way you won't take the pleasure out of the experience. I hope that helps!

@@nielsmyrner Yes to all. Very encouraging, thanks again!
Great simple jazz lesson, are you accenting the ride on 2&4? You seem to be switching from edge to middle of cymbal?
If you start with jazz, all the other genres will be a sailing
Jazz drumming with matched grip?
What do you call that chain you put on your cymbals?
a chain
The chains on my cymbals are the lightest gauge steel bead chain available from the local hardware store. Rip the little steel chain off your bathtub stopper and you're good to go. You can also drill holes in the cymbal and put rivets through them, string your car keys from the cymbal bell or tape a penny to the cymbal near the outside edge. Rivets are the most common. Have fun!
Can anyone tell me what that little rightward-pointing arrow is that goes along with the high-hat pedal on the 2nd and 4th beats? Is it just part of the notation for the high-hat?
Accent. Play it loud, in this case with your foot. :)
@@nielsmyrner thanks for the reply! I'm going to slowly get back into percussion and I think I've found exactly what I need in your videos to start and again and do things right from the start. So thank you for your help Sir.
So at the end when you go faster would you just count it 1a 2a 3a 4a
Yes, that is correct!
Would you recommend traditional grip or American for a beginning drummer? I find that traditional feels more natural and I’ve seen most jazz drummers use it but I’m not sure which one to use and if traditional would work for rock.
Both are great. Each has a different feel and advantage/disadvantage. You can find a lot of discussion on the web. In my opinion, start with what feels most natural.
Niels Myrner alright thanks
Your playing with matched grip? Do you prefer it over traditional? if so why?
how do you get that soft drum snare sound? the snares at my school sounds very stiff/hard
See that yellow square on the snare drum? That’s felt cloth folded up, just sitting there, lightly muffling the snare drum. People often put their wallet in that same spot, or a business card.
interesting I show up on this video randomly exactly 10 years later :)
@nielsmyrner i can do it, (just with the hands for now) at a fast speed WITHOUT counting, but when it comes to count, i totally mess up and i can only do it slowly, do i HAVE to learn to do it counting at the same time??
can you show some brush tec. and patterens.
Check my “Favorites” playlist for a great brush vid.
does one have to feather the bass?
+DWinn In early jazz and Swing era jazz, you do not have to feather the bass drum. When you start, just try to play it in the most relaxed manner possible. From relaxed technique, you can develop control. As you evolve towards more modern Bebop era jazz, you will want to feather the bass drum and eventually you will even leave the bass drum out and play it freely like the snare drum. For now, just make sure you aren't stomping. Nice and easy. :) Enjoy!
what is the tempo that you are playing it
Hi Niels, do you use "moeller" or "level system" up stroke setting up your back beat accent? Thanks.
+rundown306 Hey rundown306,
Sometimes. I change technique depending on dynamic level, tempo and feel. For a big open slow triplet swing I'll definitely lift from the wrist and throw the stick on 2 and 4, while lifting it on the ah-1 and ah-3. For a quiet, but still driving quarter note pulse, I'll hold the drum stick tighter in my hand to add some emphasis and define the "attack." I've been working lately on keeping my wrist loose while playing the up tempo ride pattern and the feeling that gives the groove. Feeling the bigger, slower motions of the arm while playing fast helps stay relaxed, and frees up my independence. I like the way John Riley teaches it. There's also a great video of Joe Morello teaching hand technique on youtube somewhere... and a good one of Jim Chapin. You can see inside my right hand on this video, if it helps answer your question. There's an up tempo section, and some slow loud/slow quiet: ruclips.net/video/ekLmF6IDdpg/видео.html Always working on it. Thanks!
-Niels
+Niels Myrner That's so helpful, well detailed yet clear! I've been checking/trying different grips playing the ride. I really like the sound I'm getting out of my cymbals using the Hinger grip but still doesn't feel right or natural. How many grips you tried/switched to finally stick with the German?
-Faraj
PS: Killer performance!!!
+rundown306 Excellent. There's a great article in the January 2006 issue of Modern Drummer Magazine titled "Get a Grip" providing an overview of the basic hand techniques, German, French, American, Traditional, and exploring the different technique of drumming legends. Check it out if you can find it! You can email me if you want and I'll send you a pic. The real eye opener is that each player found his own way and has his own take on the basic techniques. Techniques are used as tools themselves, or like a painter's brushes, to acquire different strokes for different situations. I frequently mix techniques, French on the ride cymbal, American or traditional on the snare drum, changing constantly. I played a fairly tight military-style grip when I was in high-school and eventually my wrists absorbed too much shock causing pretty awful injuries that took a long time to heal. No doubt I was "doing it wrong." I had to relearn technique and spent some time studying Meoller Method with Rick Lotter (percussion professor at CSUS). That was all about following the drumstick, throwing, and letting the stick do the work. That helped with injuries and developing double stroke rolls, more fluid control, light touch. Later I studied with Alan Hall (Berklee professor, student of Alan Dawson) we did a lot of rudiments, including the Rudimental Ritual, which I think is a secret of many players' chops, and experimented with varied grips and situation appropriate approaches. I'm constantly picking things up from different players along the way. I thought my chops were pretty tight until I ran into Gary Novak at the local drum shop here in town. That guy can play his right hand at the speed of your average good player's two handed single stroke roll. I asked him how he developed it and he said "Just do it all day on the practice pad while you watch football." Point being, your body will figure it out if you give it the opportunity to do so in a relaxed way. Have fun!
+Niels Myrner Thanks a million for sharing your experience! "your body will figure it out if you give it the opportunity to do so in a relaxed way" my thought exactly. Alan Dawson's the "Rudimental Ritual" is part of my new year resolution along with Charley Wilcoxon's "The All American Drummer". Thanks again, have a good one!
watch it X1.5 Speed Hahaha crazy
for the sextuplets how you count it?? 1 e a and e a????
please let me know asap :)
Is this being played in 4/4 or 2/4?
4/4
I don't understand why you couldn't have a click track to count the beat
Are those... napkins?
They are felt cloth, for tone-dampening.
Ny drums sound awful so i always give up it annoys me but I'm practicing a lot of this😭
Have you tried tuning them? You can also muffle them to sound better in the room if there’s a lot of echo/reverb.
ay lav yu canım benim bunlar hep sana inşallah para olarak geri döner
Thanks Joe!
hehe you are welcome. not a drummer really, but you helped me out to create a nice digital pattern(:
my shins hurt im such a noob
+guitaoist it goes away fast... not half as bad as finger tips on guitar strings ;)
***** ive been playin guitar for 15 years tho so my fingers dont care lol, drums however, 15 days.
Is anyone watching this in 2021
I am!

why are there slices of cheese on your drums?
I guess they reduce the vibration of the drum head, so it sounds different. Maybe there's another reason, I don't play the drums myself... Also if you're hungry you can take a bite, without having to stand up :P
Snacks are the foundation of every successful practice session. And as a drummer it’s only natural to be a little bit cheesy. But yeah... they are vibration dampening felt. ;)
