The Holy Grail of Jazz Drumming
You can check out my full method on my drum lessons site. One of the biggest on the planet. www.pmlessons.philmaturano.com

Welcome to the next workshop. In this workshop we are going to work on what many players consider the holy Grail of jazz drumming. Some thing that only the gifted and legendary can play. Up-tempo swing.
For some players just hearing that term causes the hair on the back of the neck to raise and an immediate sensation of panic.
But once I show you the secret to playing in up-tempo you’ll never have this problem again. As you will see, playing super fast tempo’s is more work of the mind then of the body. You don’t need to get hung up on developing insane hand technique or any crazy finger exercises. What do you need to know is how the secret ingredient of drumming functions at super high velocity‘s. That ingredient is Rhythm. Rhythmic knowledge is the key to playing. Without this knowledge, no matter how much hand technique you have, you won’t be able to play up-tempo jazz.
