Whenever I try to play jazz, I always try to swing first. Your starting point is better for someone just starting out. I'll get comfortable with your way before I try to swing next time. Thanks for the help from a fellow rock drummer trying to expand into other genres.
Thank you for the kind words. Playing quarter notes also works well for really fast uptempo Jazz. Especially if you are having trouble swinging at extreme tempos. Many jazz greats break up their swing patterns with tastefully placed quarters on the ride. Best of luck with your Journey! I’m so happy to hear my drum lesson video helped someone.
