It's been a minute but here's another batch of excellent lessons from Chris Smith and his YouTube series The Drum Hang. His lessons cover a wide range of practical and mature topics in the realm of jazz drumming and I find his explanations to be concise and clear. Highly recommended!
In particular, I find his lesson on orchestrating and articulating bebop melodies around the drums by means of specific sticking patterns to be challenging and useful in my own playing these days. The late Bob Gullotti was a huge proponent of this and it was central to his own teaching method as well.
If you are looking for things to practice and think about on the drums during these challenging times, this would certainly be a good place to start...
