If you’re a beginner or even intermediate drummer and you’re wanting to learn jazz…but you don’t know where to start, this simple lesson is for you!
We tend to fear jazz by believing it’s super difficult and only for advanced players. But you CAN (and should!) learn basic jazz early on to increase your coordination & musical abilities.
Today I’m sharing with you a single rudiment that literally gives you all the tools you need to get started - and have LOTS of fun in the process. You’ll be playing the swing ride pattern AND even soloing, all while using this one rudiment. YOU CAN DO THIS!
I believe that ANYONE can learn the drums, and I believe you’re far more capable of becoming a great drummer than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short! SUBSCRIBE for more Non Glamorous videos that get straight to the point of solving drumming frustration. Stay Non Glamorous, Everyone!

Everybody's working for the weak hand.

🤣
Brilliant! Love that. We cover that song so I'm going to get the singer to sing your lyrics. Ta.
If only they were. We wouldn’t have so much shit music.
Love it
Technically, you could use the 6 stroke roll, which is exactly the same thing. Especially, with the left hand lead. At least the way I play it. Also, I've always struggle with the jazz ride pattern , and I've been playing for years. It won't happen overnight, but this lesson is like magic cause, after all these years, I finally understand how to correct you go at this..
the moment where you demonstrate the ghost notes is the moment the lightbulb turned on for me - a similar lesson is what got me into drums in the first place - magic!
I've been chipping away at this lesson since you posted it a couple of weeks ago. It's among your best as an example of balancing technique with musicality. Thank you for sharing!
Great lesson! One of your best.
Many thanks.
SC actually explains how the paradiddle practice rhythm applies to stick control and musicality. No body else explains the purpose of this technique clearly. They just do it. New subscriber.
Awesome lesson! Thanks for posting.
That little demo at the end sounded like Gene Krupa! Nice playing man! Love this lesson....
Indeed a lovely way of showing how simple it is - after you put in the amount of precise practice. Thank you Stephen, big time!
Right on time Stephen thank you I've been trying to get into more jazz playing. I really like your lessons you have such relaxed approach.
Great lesson, thank you 👏🏼🥁
Brilliant lesson! Subbed!!!!
I love this chop - great for fills, grooves and overall tastiness!
Great Lesson!!
Thank you Steven your lessons are always very helpful. I plan to start supporting you on patreon. Keep up the great work
Great lesson Stephen. I love the six stroke roll in all of its forms as taught here. Keep up the great work. Bill.
Absolutely great lesson and best drum channel ever !
This is a great lesson that I found by accident. I've been playing a year and getting to the point the dynamic independence is starting to come to me so this is timely.
Best ever drum rudimental lesson....thanx 🙏
Thanks Stephen a great lesson - I’m just starting to migrate from rock to jazz, so perfect timing for me.
Awesome! Been playing drums for years! Took the lessons learned my rudiments! But I wish you would have been my teacher!!! I just learned stuff now👍🏻
thank you Stephen!
Well done😊
I watched this video a week after I started and this rudiment helped me so much to explore the drums and have been able to create my own solos (not good ones) but it's been really fun, thank you!
Huge Return on Investment for Paradiddle-diddles, IMO. Going from Pad to Fills to Groove, that sticking is a good one!
Cool I use this rudiment all the time..I mix it up between the toms too. Try substituting bass drum notes last two notes: RLRRFF or LRLLFF. Hand strokes can be made on toms as well as snare..makes for a cool fill.
Grt lesson!
Thankyou Stephen. I have been sitting at my drumset following you. I have a drumpad on each drum, and have also been working on doubles with my drum teacher. I love your lessons. Clear, understandable and v encouraging. Thankyou. Rosemary 🥁
Thanks a lot!
Excellent video!
As a "Rudimental drummer" , with drum and bugle corps, My old friend, the paradiddle diddle comes to play in the jazz world!
Easy to make variations, utilizing accents, even on the diddle portion. Such an "instinctive" rudiment as well.
Great lesson! I find myself pulling out a set of sticks to follow along.
Lol. This is amazing. I learn paradidles for a some time and I didn't think at all about moving my time mind machine few steps forward to start playing at different point to create something completely new. This is awesome movie! Thank you so much!
Excellent ❤
The sticking pattern and hat steady are the things I'm working on. Also the Bonham triplets, a thing I've always had in my head from encountering Led Zeppelin in my bass playing youth but haven't gotten very solid. The whole keep it slow thing is the key. In my case getting the accents under control is the challenge, which will be easier after just practicing the sticking pattern to get the alternating singles and doubles better honed. I've played drums on the side, never in a band but for a few times in over 30 years in music, but now I'm in a reforming band where we're all tuning up new skills together so I did a search for beginning drum lessons and you are one of the first channels I found, and now I'm focused on your channel due to your dedication to taking every subject down to fundamental simplicity.
My experience in Western Magick, Astrology, and Numerology jive with the idea of working on singles...even just basic math where all integers are collections of 1. If the One isn't solid none of the other numbers will be good as they are constructed from the integrity, or lack thereof of the One. I've already eliminated my 'weak' hand where my left is cracking like a whip and my right is falling behind from having more tension from growing up mostly right handed. They call this woodshedding in some circles and yes, this kind of thing is much like whittling a wood sculpture from a great log with a pocket knife.
Whaaaat that blew my mind
Great video, thank you. Something I'd recommend emphasizing too is that what you're describing as "Left Hand Lead Variation 2" is also a six stroke roll (RLLRRL) played with triplet feel (for jazz swing).
The inverted version of the left hand version of this RLLRRL is also super helpful.
This was such a great lesson!!! My drum teacher can play any genre of music but he specializes in jazz. I’ve been trying to learn more jazz techniques (I’m so intimidated by jazz!) and this lesson really helps. I’m such a beginner and I love your lessons. I didn’t watch your lesson while I was on the kit but I’m planning to and to play along.
puh….this 5:53 was a complicated way to explain what it means to play a 6-stroke-roll 😅 …
but i totally agree: absolutely necessary for any kind of jazz-based drumming 👍
The only drum channel I watch now💯🔥🔥🔥🙏
That first variation is a great way to lead into learning inverted roles
Around the four minute mark you start talking about and playing var. 2 when you had var. 1 posted below. Made it a little confusing to follow the sticking pattern when you were playing.
However, the brackets thereafter you placed over the sticking patterns really helped. Maybe just an editing error there.
Anyway, super cool breakdown and use of the pdd as I’ve always wondered how the jazz guys move around the kit while maintaining those ghost notes, thus connecting it all.
Thx a bunch!🎉
That was brilliant! Pure gold. Although a beginner, I've always wanted to step into the jazz realm - always intimidated by it! I'm gonna give it a try for sure! Thanks man!
I for one do not subscribe to the beginner to intermediate to advanced musician concept as I feel it is like the belt tear system in martial arts, an arbitrary standardisation of capability measurements that are more in service of creating tutorship jobs in an otherwise free and expressive exploratory personal journey of passion and expression. That said, this drummer and his video is valuable beyond any of my previous rhetoric as he amply demonstrates , explains and encourages his viewers to incorporate jazz style, rhythm and musical principals in their playing. Whether new at the drums or a drummer with experience, this lesson is informative! I have long known and practiced the rudiment shown here but for me it is his explanation and teaching of his lesson that educates me. Educates me in how I can better explain this to my own, few though, students. Great upload, valuable to even the self considered advanced drummer, me haha! Seriously though, thanks. The lesson for me in this is how to better teach the concept in question, impressive lesson
Deal Stephen, you are a Great Drummer. You analyse and explain it all Perfect. Only, you Need too much Words. But thanks for all.
I have been playing drums for 60 years. I am no great drummer, but I can hold my own. This lesson is one of the best lessons I have ever had on drums.
Can I ask, why do you say that?
I’m 63 and just started playing again after 40 years an only played in a garage band but didn’t take it serious,now it’s starting to be fun😊
@michaelkonopka9607 beautiful stuff. That's a long break for any skill.
Hi Stephen: I love this lesson because I'm learning (in my basement) to play jazz. I think I need better cymbals than the Sabian AAX set that came with my used rock kit. Can you recommend a descent intermediate brand and ride size? I looked up your K Custom Dark set and they're probably professional cymbals - at least that's what the price suggests. Any recommendation would be appreciated. And thanks again for a great lesson. You are excellent at explaining things.
Variation #2 is also called the 6-stroke roll! Great lesson Stephen!!!
I was going to say the same thing!
You teach doubles just like I do! I thought I made that teaching technique up!
I like the lessons that you teach but I use the traditional grip. Could you show these lessons using traditional grip.
Hello Stephen
Your website seems to be out of ordre. Impossible to Connect and access total hand freedom i purchased. What is the solution ? Thanks
mommy daddy mommy daddy ..when you get it its so cool and dont be afraid of success!!
On the 6 stroke it's the fulcrum (the first joint of index finger and thumb) working and relaxing. Not the rebound
No. Forget sticking patterns. You need to play steady quarter notes on the ride. Then you need to add the skip notes to the steady quarter notes on the ride. That's the basis. No sticking patterns. Check out John Riley's Art Of Bop Drumming. That's the bible for jazz drumming and there isn't a single sticking pattern in it.
Can I still watch this lesson anyway?
I never believed in forgetting what I learned. I add to my style, instead of subtracting from it.
well, should i then play it mostly as triplets or sixtuplets? both!
what’s the subdivision of the rudiment? 8th note and two 16th; two 16th note and 8th; 8th triplet; 16th sextuplet?
This is what I’ve been looking for. I’m training my left hand to do smooth doubles and at the same time moving around the kit with these rudiments
I will admit that my left fingers and wrist are sore.
All of a sudden my playing has started to evolve! My wife came home and into the practice room to see who was playing!
Awesome job Stephen, thanks.
You made me buy drum sticks and start learning this.
At 180 bpm ish, are the doubles dirty, if so what is the trick to keeping the singles in the right tempo?
There used 2B this Zappa album... what was it called? Does anybody remember?
“Shut up ‘n’ play your drums!” Exactly…
Oh no, wait - it’s GUITAR, not Drums! Guitar of course...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✌🏻🥳
Joe Morello!
Noice tutorial
You think by yourself: ‘I know R L RR LL and can play that really fast and loud…’
Stephen : yes cool but not inside out…
Stephen is your website still working?
16:00 it is a six stroke roll? (The variation)
hey man your website is down
Stephen, hope you check your comments. I signed up for your courses, but the website it down. It's been down at least from yesterday. I sent you an email and it got kicked back. I want to continue Song University, but cannot. I've tried to find a number or some way to contact you via social media, but have only been able to use this comment option. I do hope you check them. Thanks
At the end of the day, it is the rudiment 6 stroke roll and its variations
yep
Isn't this the six-stroke roll for jazz?
Hey Stephen! did you know that your NGD Community and email are not working?
I can suggest a couple others as well...lol
Weak hand link isn't working. Please fix.
7:43 where the variations are at
Whats with the volume?
I tried to go to the "weak hand" course and your site is down as of 11:30 EST
6am est still down excited to get started on it 😁
Bro! I can't log in to your website from my google account: help!!! RnMT
Main thing I picked up from this video is be good at doubles. I'm terrible at doubles because I put way to much force in my hit that it often doesn't keep bouncing.
lol..i paused and came back hope you dont mind!!
Video starts 2:32
The second rudiment is actually the six stroke roll
LRRLLR--isn't another word for that 6 stroke roll?
Unable to open the link???
Same here
And here
Is blablabla a drum rudiment ?
More playing… less chatting 🤙🏻
2:35 of smth before the info...
gets to be a "take five" feel
It's only me or anyone else has problems to get into the non glamorous drummer website?
Stephen, I enjoy your videos, but admit to being distracted with your continued looking at your computer to your left. Have you thought of a screen of boards in front of you?
27mn 😔
Love the content but good lord the ads are worse and worse ever month
Flounder: I paid a nominal fee to join the community and I see No Ads. Best money I’ve ever spent!
UA-cam Vanced.. free and solves it all, even skips intros and outros etc.
In my case right is the weak hand and left is the pathetic hand.
Jazz? Thats the passenger, iggy pop.....
aren’t jazz drummers supposed to play traditional grip not match grip? asking for a friend
“The one rudiment you need”
Uses one rudiment to actually just teach a bunch
Train engineers never get a weak hand off.
This isn't a bad lesson, but what you play just doesn't feel like jazz or swing.
Without confusing people, I have found it is easier to use a six stroke roll changing the accents and sticking to first note accent single sticking to double stroke with 3rd note accent. Easier to keep track of and is a triplet feel pattern to begin with
backgroundmusic?? Not cool
Dawg just play from r gut keef....moohwn
The first rudiment is your ears.
Stop waffling my dude
