I haven't played jazz drums since high school and just got asked to play a gig with a friend this weekend. This video has helped me tremendously as far as what to focus on and how to think about the structures of songs and how not to get lost. We're playing a bunch of standards that I've never heard before so I'm going to be spending some time listening to them and taking notes on their structures so I don't get lost. Thank you so much for making this.
Man thank you for this. There so many videos about what jazz drumming is but not much about how jazz drumming relates to the melody. I feel you connect the two pretty well here and express the importance for a drummer to really know the song in order to keep with it.
Thanks so much for this video. There seems to be very little instruction on the web that talks about this in any detail. It's great that you went into great detail about how to go about getting better at learning tunes rather that just saying 'learn the melody' . That's obvious but it's not obvious as to how to go about that.
Respect the singing! Takes guts!
