This Is The Basic Jazz Beat Lesson
This is THE essential jazz drum beat that you have to know if you want to play jazz. I would argue that this is an essential rhythm that every drummer should know.
A majority of jazz is swung which means it’s based on the triplet subdivision. This means you must first understand how to play swing music using swung rhythms. It is not difficult but might seem strange if you’ve only ever played straight beats before like a basic rock beat.
Once you have the basic pattern you can start jamming with jazz backing tracks and if you are ever in a gig and they throw in a jazz tune, at least you can hold it down and get through the song.
This also lays the foundation so you can go off and take jazz to the next level by either checking out the best rudiment for jazz or the jazz 101 drum course.
Jazz and blues are closely linked so you might also be interested to visit the blue shuffle lesson page to learn that rhythm type.
But for now watch the totally free basic jazz drum beat lesson below.
