I offer online lessons: [email protected] This is a jazz drum lesson where I discuss the main exercises that helped me develop 'rolling triplets' a la Elvin Jones (drummer for John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner). I did not create these exercises. I use a similar practice concept as my Tony Williams video: https://youtu.be/tUQ-6QMQ5yQ?feature=shared These exercises are also good for developing swing coordination in general, although they deal mostly in triplets rather than 8th-note comping. Interested in playing faster in general? Check out my video on the traditional grip push-pull technique here, as well as its application to single stroke rolls: https://youtu.be/HHQ6UvMGw-Y?feature=shared Tommy Igoe Lifetime Warmup cover here: https://youtu.be/9UCh6wa52mc?feature=shared Vic Firth sticks, Gretsch drums, Zildjian cymbals, Remo heads #drumcover #drumlesson #drummer #drums #drumset #gretsch #music #musician #tutorial #jazz
