I am Kaan Çelen, a disabled jazz drummer from Türkiye. Kaan Çelen meets music lovers with his new album “30” celebrating his 30th birthday. This album draws attention as a special work that Çelen presents to himself and his age. “30” stands out as an album that takes the listener on a deep...

Hello drummers! I'm wondering if anyone has come across something similar to John Rileys comp exercises, but in 3/4? I know there are some basic examples of 3/4 in his book but I want to get deeper than that. My 3/4 jazz comping is boring and repetitive.....thanks in advance!

Hey forum, If you could all take a minute of your time and fill out this survey, it's for my school. Thanks all. 🙏 Link here

Dear folks! My name is Mika Säily (Mr.), a Finnish drummer and educator. I am happy to announce that I have recently released a new instructional book on brushes. The Essentials of Brushes; basic movements, figures, and combinations; accessible, interactive e-book. As the title suggests, the...

Hello all, First post on this forum! Here is some original latin jazz I recorded a few months ago: My instrument is the Timbales

Hi, I’m a novice in Jazz and Fusion, having mainly played rock/pop etc. but I have a rather hairy goal of learning Chick Corea’s Got a match played by Mr. Dave Wekl. I can now play the «clave» (don’t think that is the right Word for it) part, at 120 bpm (the goal i 150, but that might never be...

After months of practice, I'm excited to share my drum cover of "What Is Hip?" by Tower of Power! Diving into David Garibaldi's linear grooves and funky ghost notes was incredibly fun. Couldn't help smiling and dancing along. Enjoy

Thanks for watching:)

All the talk about fusion being dead seemed like a good time to drive in my own small nail :) Over the years, my old jam pal and I did the occasional jazzy tune, so I put them together in this collection - there's all kinds of styles because it's amateur music made purely for fun, warts and...

Hey guys! Decided to join. I heard Joe was here. :) Any other Cymbalholics here? Need some advice on what ride sounds like Tony Williams. I want to spend hours debating gram weights. I need to find a China that doesn't sound like a China. I need this to sound good. ;-) -ADG

I'm looking to wrap my own mallets for jazz vibraphone and I need to find four matching handles. I would prefer rattan over wood... I cannot for the life of me get google to find results for just the stick part. I don't need any of the yarn wrapped around it already. I could keep scrounging...

I'm interested in learning some hybrid rudiments and applying them in a jazz context, but the lists on the web are too long (one I found had 500!). What 10 have you found to be the most useful or fun to use in jazz? cheers

Hi, I'm thinking of buying the Gretsch Renown in 18/14/12 sizes. I originally was looking at the Catalina Clubs, but thought I'd look for something a step up in quality that I wouldn't feel like upgrading in a few years. Anyone have any experience with Renowns for jazz/small combo playing? I...

Butterfly by Gretchen Parlato has been haunting me for a long time, until a few month ago I just never dared to approach this delicate song. Here now is my interpretation of this beautiful song. I hope you enjoy watching and listening.

I want a very musical old-school classic jazz (or blues) sound. No hard rock acid punk hair band stuff. I'm buying a new kit that offers shells with these capabilities. I need to know what are the best heads for toms and kick to milk that classic sound from the shells.
