Thank you Zac for your generosity in sharing knowledge that often takes decades to understand or simply know. Sorry for my English, but it's google's fault (lol) Hug!

I've been loving all your videos! I'm a year into my jazz drumming journey and have been working out of art of bop but I'm really struggling with how to practice soloing and keeping my place in the form.
Perhaps a topic for another video? Keep up the great worked! Subbed with the bell!!

[@thebetterdrummer]

Great idea Ted, I’ll make a video on that soon!

Love this video! Great tips and insights, especially on the importance of immersion into the culture of the music!

[@thebetterdrummer]

Thanks Real! Yes, its so so important!

[@tedstuff2039]

Been loving your channel as I embark on my jazz journey! I'm struggling with practicing trading and soloing and keeping track of the form or even just practicing soloing in general.
Possible to get a video on some tips or tricks on practicing soloing? Maybe some cues to listen/watch out for at jazz jams.
Keep up the great work!!
