"Hi I'm Shaun Schaefer on behalf of Expert Village. And today we're going to be learning how to play a basic Jazz drum beat. So we're almost there.

So there is a basic Jazz drum beat and the latest being Four on the Floor. So hopefully you enjoyed watching today's lesson and on behalf of Expert Village I am Shaun Schaefer and we'll see you next time."

on 4/13/2009 Thanks, Sean. I found this VERY helpful. I'm a beginner, and live in rural Nova Scotia, where it is hard to find instruction. ---SusanM

on 3/26/2009 I found this set of videos to be very informative. Being a rock drummer for 5 years, I wanted to try a new jazz beat. Although in some parts the narrative seemed repetitive and drawn out, altogether it was a very useful set of lessons to get together a basic jazz drum beat.
