Very cool Lesson John, you could keep yourself busy for an hour with this one.

[@mattguzda853]

I love "an" of four, push beat feel.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Matt Guzda yes, so do I. It adds a nice feel to your playing and it’s a valuable Jazz drumming tool. God bless, John X

John I've been a rock drummer for almost 40 years, but I'm now learning to play jazz with your lessons and books,which I love. You are a fantastic drummer and the best teacher I've ever had..All the best, Steve.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Happy to hear. Enjoy.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

I'm using Aquarian texture coated heads on the top and bottom of both toms. The tops and bottoms are tuned to approx. the same pitch. When I'm tuning the drums I'm going for the sound Philly Jo Jones or Max Roach got.

[@lesblochdanville]

Groovy jazz lick. I'm digging it. Now I just have to get a jazz gig.

[@piscotown]

awesome!! i LEARNED A LOT. i hope there is more lessons!

[@JosephGDrums]

This is great john. Keep up the excellent work.

[@DrummerOtto]

Great lesson! I was looking for new ideas for jazz fills and this was very useful lesson. That stick on stick technique gave me a whole new bunch of ideas. Also the fill at 0:43 is mind-blowing :) Gotta practice it...

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thank you Andy.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Check out Miles Davis: Kind of Blue, Milestones, Round About Midnight, Nefertiti. Bill Evans: Live In Tokyo, Portraits of Jazz, Waltz For Debbie. Herbie Hancock: Maiden Voyage. Dave Brubeck: Time Out. Ahmad Jamal: Live at the Pershing. John Coltrane - Blue Train. Art Blakey - Buhaina's Delight. Chic Corea - Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Art Pepper + Eleven. This is just a handful of my favorites, but it should get you started on the right foot. Enjoy

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

[@JS-fz4gv]

hey, great video and nice person ! ...greetings from Chile

[@ChosenMusician4Life]

I'm just learning how to play jazz. Your lessons are really helping me a lot. Who are some good jazz artist/bands I can listen to?

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thank you for your positive comment. The cymbals are all Zildjian Constantinople. 14" hi-hata, 22" Med. Thin Low on my right, 20" Med. Thin Low with two rivets on my left.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

I couldn't tell what i do exactly. However, I can say the the overall tuning of the hi tom is about an octave higher than the drum would normally tune to with the top and bottom heads tuned to about the same tension.

[@Drumaier]

Very usefull, i'm learning jazz in a band with other students and a teacher....when the teacher tells me to make a solo at some point of a song i just do random stuff with better or worse results...but always with fear and withoput a plan of what a f to do....now excuse i have to check your other videos!! Thanks a lot for this videos....good energy too.

[@ChosenMusician4Life]

Thanks JohnX!! You're awesome!! I'm also gonna get your book.

[@ethanpardo5707]

Loving your snare sound. Your playing style's great, and the lesson is as well :).

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Ethan, I'm glad you digging the lesson. And yes, I love that snare. One of my favorites. Perfect for jazz.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks. I appreciate the positive comment.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thank you.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Steve, Thank you for your comment. I'm happy to hear you are digging my videos and books. Thanks for watching.

[@dividedwords]

A great one, John, thanks. The toms seem to sound especially good this time. What's your set-up-heads, reso and batter, range, approach?

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Excellent. Thanks.

[@nicoremby]

fantastic!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

The key to jazz soloing and trading 4's or 8's is to have a vocabulary of two bar fills that you can play and combine to create your solos. Keep watching, I'll be sharing many more.

[@raul78331]

useful. thanks

[@93davve93]

Thanks, good tutorial! What cymbals do you got? :)

[@Mahavishnu80]

Great drum tones wow, what's the tom tuning?

[@dividedwords]

That arrangement seems to have a somewhat lower pitch than I associate with Max or Philly Joe. Perhaps those heads or the drums they're on, bring out a lower overtone. They have a wonderfully short note, too. I like that.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks for the nice comment. I'm glad you dig the "stick on stick" technique. It's one of my favorite jazz fill techniques. Thanks to Philly Jo Jones, Buddy Rich, Max Roach and all of the other Jazz legends.

[@klspeidel17]

I'm in my schools jazz band and of course there are fills in the drum set music and I was wondering if you had any tips about coming up with fills individually/on the spot, cause this is my second year with them and still in 8th grade but I'm pretty advanced in my percussion area but my fills usually sound like I'm just hitting random drums and sounds kinda messy sometimes and I don't wanna keep relying on fills made up by other people or rely on using a week to come up with something pleasing

[@chopper265]

What cymbals are those

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks for asking. The cymbals are: Zildjian 22" K Constantinople Med Thin Low Ride, 20" K Constantinople Hi Bell Thin, 14" K Constantinople Hi-Hats. God bless, John X

[@chopper265]

Thank you John have a good day
