Drumset Lessons with John X: Jazz Comping Using Quarter Note Triplets

Welcome to part four of my “Jazz Comping“ drum lesson series. In this part, I’m going to teach you how to use quarter note triplets to add a bit of excitement to your comping. I’ll teach you the basic pattern, how to apply it to 4 and 8 bar jazz phrases and how to move the quarter note triplets around the set. In this lesson John X teaches you how to play a Philly Joe Jones “stick on stick“ lick that crosses the bar-line. Purchase a transcription here:
