jazz drumming
Brushes on snare
Jazz drumming is the rhythmic foundation of jazz music, characterized by swing feel, syncopation, and interactive improvisation with other musicians.
Unlike rock drumming's steady backbeat, jazz drumming emphasizes the ride cymbal and hi-hat while maintaining fluid conversation with soloists.
The style ranges from the subtle brushwork of cool jazz to the explosive polyrhythms of bebop and free jazz.
