How to achieve the true spirit of Jazz drumming 

Many Jazz drummers have chops and technique, but do they have the necessary knowledge of how to approach the drum set as the unique instrument it is? There's a lineage dating back to the origins of drum set playing, and it's not what you might think. Drummer John Hvasta calls it "The Four Spirits". In this video he lays out and explains where the true spirit of Jazz drumming came from, the four spirits. Then in the second section he gives a lesson on his unique and powerful method of practice to bring the true spirit of Jazz drumming to life on your drum set beyond just chops and technique. It's about sound, feel, control, getting in touch with each limb's voice and personality, and more.
