This is Part III of my jazz brush playing series of free jazz drum set lessons. In this lesson, I talk about and demonstrate various approaches to playing fast up tempos with the brushes, 3/4 waltz time, a two feel and ballad playing.
This free jazz drumming lesson will help drummers build a strong foundation of jazz brush playing. Make sure to check out part IV of this series where I will cover rudimental applications to soloing with the brushes.
Make sure to download a jazz play along track (link below) to practice your brush playing with!
