Jazz Drum Loops Be Smokin!

Jazz drums require a special kind of tuning and instrument selection. It’s essential to get the right tones that create sonorous toms, bright snare drums, soft kick drums and super fizzy hi-hats. We hand picked our drums from  highly collectible vintage drum sets. We then spent days testing out different ride cymbals and hi-hats to find the perfect sound for jazz.

Once we had the instruments sorted it was time to tune the drums for that classic jazz tone. We cranked the toms for a much higher tuning than we would use for rock or metal and then tuned the snare drum down slightly for a looser, fatter jazz resonance.

The kick drum required almost an entire afternoon to get just right, the aim was to use zero dampening inside the drum because jazz music often has lots of space for the kick drum to resonate. We used felt beaters and heavy duty, twin-ply heads to create that muffled kick drum sound that you can hear in the preview above.

Once the sound was perfected it was time to unleash our seasoned jazz drummers and capture the magic.
