Jazz
For Jazz drumming the snare drum should have a bright and full open sound with lots of highs and plenty of attack. The toms should also have a full bright open sound. The bass drum should be clear and sharp with a full bodied tone.
Each of these drum sounds are sampled on the “How To Tune the Drums” C.D. The individual drums are sampled first, followed by a short solo around the entire kit.
