Unlimited drum lessons 9 FREE bonuses 🥳: ► 0:00 - Introduction If you want to improve your skills by listening to one of the greatest jazz drummers of the last 50 years, look no further than Elvin Jones. He was most notably the drummer for The John Coltrane Quartet in the ’60s - recording on many of Coltrane’s iconic albums - and worked with many different musicians over the course of his career, which spanned an impressive six decades. In this lesson, Brandon will show you some of Elvin’s signature grooves. When learning these, keep in mind that he was largely improvising when recording, so you don’t need to play it note for note.
