Man , you re the best jazz coach in web ! I bet you cause I subscribe many jazz manual channels ! Your style talking teaching is greedy and easy learning ! Thank and hello from Russia !

[@jazzdrumschool]

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad I can help. Keep swinging 🤙

[@puffinwrangler7557]

Thanks so much! Last night I was at a jam session, happy I could be there but unhappy with my playing. Without a warm-up and sitting on a drumkit 5x better than mine, in a really small club, with the pro house drummer listening 10 ft. away... quite intimidating. I felt stiff between playing straight time and having quasi-melodic fluidity around the kit. There's much to be said about what one may do between time and fills, and your video has inspired me to practice this afternoon. Cheers!

[@jazzdrumschool]

Thanks so much for sharing your recent experience and that my video has helped you! I can totally relate to how you felt at the jam session. The fact is, you did it. You put yourself out of your comfort zone so you can learn to play drums. That takes a lot of gumption and passion. It sounds to me like you really want to get better at your Jazz and drumming and enjoy playing more. That's 50% of improvement so you're already halfway there! If you ever need a hand with your Jazz drumming, I'd love to help you out at Jazz Drum School: jazzdrumschool.com/ Keep swinging my friend 🤙
