Creative Drum Fills and Comping For Jazz

[@mikestevens5512]

As a working Jazz drummer, this is the very best jazz instruction, Many videos On licks, But Von you show integration with Music, and dynamics. Unbelievable

[@jazzdrumschool]

Mike thanks so much my friend! The integration with music is always my goal. I want all of my students to experience the magic of making great music with other musicians. I hope to see you at Jazz Drum School too. Every course over there is set up the same way, to get you out there swinging!

Great tips. Think slow then fast. Appreciate the clear, concise instruction.

[@jazzdrumschool]

You bet Charles! Thanks for being on the Jazz Drum School email list. You might have already seen this one before via email but I thought it might be helpful for drummers here at my KZbin channel too. I hope to also help you with your Jazz drumming at Jazz Drum School my friend: jazzdrumschool.com/ Have a swinging great day my friend 🤙

Les, it's my pleasure and thanks for watching! If you'd like to dive deeper, I hope to also see you at Jazz Drum School: jazzdrumschool.com/ Keep swinging my friend 🤙

[@DinoSuljic-b3d]

really good and helpful video thanks Von!:) Are you planing to do a livestream in the future? I really liked those and don’t want to miss it if you going to have one:)

[@jazzdrumschool]

Dino thanks for letting me know the video was helpful! I don't often live stream here on my KZbin channel but have my live stream Drum Lab class every month at Jazz Drum School. Here's more about Drum Lab: jazzdrumschool.com/course/jazz-drum-class It's a free live stream for all enrolled students at Jazz Drum School. It's a great time to ask questions about courses at the School and your Jazz drumming. Last month we covered how to finish your 4's and 8's and chorus solos. This month I'll be giving you some choice tips on stoking your creativity across the drum kit. Once you enroll at the School, I'll automatically enroll you in Drum Lab and you can also see all of the previous months' Drum Labs. I hope this helps my friend and I'm looking forward to connecting with you at the School soon too 🤙

Love it! The fills swings. Thank you Von !! Can i purchase a lesson?

[@jazzdrumschool]

Mike, thanks for the kind words, question and for watching! Would you like to do a private online lesson or are you interested in my Jazz Drum Comping Course? jazzdrumschool.com/course/jazz-drum-comping Either way, I'm looking forward to helping you with your Jazz drumming 🤙

[@mikestevens5512]

@@jazzdrumschool I need some theory help! Understanding AABA and soloing to forms. I trade fours pretty well. But with extended solos, I do them and play to the melody line, but I'm not sure when to stop!!

[@jazzdrumschool]

Mike, really sorry for only seeing this now. I completely understand where you are coming from. Actually, I cover all of this an a lot more in my Jazz Drum Soloing Course: jazzdrumschool.com/course/jazz-drum-solo I know it will iron out these wrinkles and fill in those gaps in your understanding. We can also do a video exchange lesson if you like. For the time being, I have stopped doing face-to-face online lessons but still do exchange lessons: store.vonbaronmusic.com/product/learn-drums-online-private-jazz-drum-lessons/ Let me know how I can help. Again, I apologize for the delay 🤙

Hey man, hope your having a good day, but i wanna see a tutorial on ghosting on the snare drum when playing simple swing pattern, it just doesn’t make sense!

[@jazzdrumschool]

Thanks for the request and for watching! Jazz drum comping is different than say playing a Funk groove and ghosting the notes on the snare. In Jazz drum comping we constantly mix accents and ghosted notes to create improvised rhythmic patterns that interact with the music. We don't often play the same pattern over and over again with our snare hand. If you'd like to really learn how all of this works, check out my Jazz Drum Comping Course: jazzdrumschool.com/course/jazz-drum-comping Keep swinging my friend!
