How to Waltz With Drumsticks - Playing Drums In 3/4 Time

Welcome to "Waltzing with Drumsticks"! In this lesson, I demonstrate playing drums in 3/4 time and show how I connect my drumming to music. This lesson is part of my Odd Meter Jazz Drumming course at Jazz Drum School, where I also teach you how to play in 5/4 like the classic Jazz standard "Take 5."
Both 3/4 and 5/4 are widely used in Jazz, so it's crucial to get comfortable with these meters just like you would with 4/4. Join me as we waltz through engaging exercises, tips, and techniques that will enhance your drumming skills.
In this video, you'll learn:
👉Exercises for your 3/4 drumming.
👉How to connect your drumming to music.
👉Tips and exercises for mastering 3/4 meter Swing.
👉Insights from my Odd Meter Jazz Drumming course.
👉The importance of feeling as comfortable in 3/4 and 5/4 as you do in 4/4.

First, I love the shirt! If you play for any adults who like to dance and know how to dance correctly, you definitely need to learn this. It really isn't that hard but when I switched from rock to jazz in the late 60's, I only knew "2 and 4". Switching over was hard until I found a professional jazz drummer. Hint: If you've ever watched Charlie Brown's Christmas Special, you've listened to 3/4 with Jerry Granelli on drums, playing "Skating" and "Christmas Time is Here".
