It's essential that, as musical drummers, we understand what a basic jazz beat is. We can't master this genre in one video, but we can have a set of essential tools to get us through a situation where a jazz beat is needed. Even if you are not a fan of jazz, don't miss this video because it will test your four-way coordination in new, fun, and exciting ways, aside from learning basic practical beats. This video starts with two classic jazz favorites, and the ten audio files add different tom and snare placement ideas.
