In this Jazz Drummer Q-Tip of the Week drum set lesson, I break down and demonstrate this simple and effective exercise that will improve your jazz feel. Paying attention to the placement of our upbeats on the snare drum and bass drum is a crucial part of creating a good jazz feel. This simple and effective exercise that will improve your jazz feel will make drummers more aware of the placement of their comping note and the placement of their upbeats. It's the placement of these upbeats that will determine how much or how little we are swinging or not.
