This is just awesome. You really knew the song, matching the comping hits and melodic rhythms. So good!

Nicely done. I have an A Zildjian 18" swish like that I bought in college. I'm 66 and it's still in my Jazz set up.

Decisive and swinging. This is nice drumming!

Saw this and your 'Out in the Open' video. Gotta say, really awesome stuff!

I've only been drumming for about four years and have just started to take more of a look at jazz drumming.

Your videos have been really helpful for that indeed, so thank you for uploading and keep up the good work!
