Jazz Coordination Part 1: The Basics

Here is the first of a series of videos on Jazz Coordination. This has been one of the most requested topics that I have received emails and comments about. It's a huge subject and it will take several videos to present it properly. In this chapter I talk about the ride cymbal pattern, feathering the bass drum, rhythmic interpretation and we begin exercises with the left hand and bass drum. The cymbals are all 1950's K Zildjian with a Paiste 22" swish.The drums are Gretsch Centennial series: 18"x14" bass,10",12",14" toms and a 14"x7" snare. There are calf heads on the snare drum and bass drum. The exercises demonstrated in the lesson are from pages 7-8 of my book Advanced Coordination for Drum Set and Hand Percussion.
