Jazz-based "Approach"
(as applied to ALL styles of drumming)

Learning drum set from a Jazz-based "Approach" (not, necessarily, becoming a Jazz drummer) is the most certain path that will turn you into the kind of musician who can play any style of music, authentically!. To do this requires excellent technique, conceptual understanding, the ability to read music, an ability to listen and interact with other musicians, and ultimately the ability to play any musical phrase you can think of, in a live situation in front of an audience.

By way of example: Let's take a look at typical guitarist, who learns three chords, and, the next thing you know... he's in a Rock Band. On the "real-side", to truly learn to play your instrument based in Jazz... this takes commitment, discipline, dedication and immense technical skill as well as musicality.

In summation, applying wisdon-tested hand and foot techniques, coordinated-independence, improvisational concepts, beat-displacement, "implied-time", phrasing in odd-meters while in even-meters and vise versa. ALL these justifiable concepts found in a Jazz-based "Approach", and applicable to ALL styles of drumming.
