Learn to play Jazz drum beats with virtual drums and online lessons.

Tutorial for beginners about basic Jazz coordination.

To play Jazz drum beats you need to practice any combination of snare and bass drum strokes.

This is what we will do in this tutorial dedicated to Jazz coordination and Straight time. In this second lesson you'll see the previous drum lesson figurations applied to the bass drum, again with the steady right hand swing on the ride cymbal and every bar second and fourth fourth played by the hi-hat.

In the drum score for this class, the first exercise features only the straight-time base, while the following ones add different single and double strokes played on the bass drum.
