Jazz Drummer Q-Tip of the Week: Learn how to play the hi hats CORRECTLY!

In this jazz drum lesson, I offer you a few Q-tips on ways you can improve your basic swing hi hat playing based on the way the legendary drummer Papa Jo Jones played them. Having a good hi hat feel in jazz is essential for being able to play with a good swing feel when playing the ride cymbal. Make sure to check out Papa Jo Jones' playing with the Count Basie Jazz Orchestra!
