Webinar Announcement: The Evolution of Jazz Drumming


I've been invited by Calgary's BuckingJam Palace to present this educational webinar on Sunday, March 28th at 3pm MST.

The webinar will be presented via Zoom and is open to anyone (and it's also free for students and musicians!)

Register on Eventbrite via the BuckingJam website and you'll be sent a Zoom link via e.mail.

I will be talking about and playing music from many of my favourite jazz drummers from Warren "Baby" Dodds to Brian Blade and everything in between! 

Tickets and information are available here.















About the Webinar:

“The drum is the first instrument. And the drummer is the key – the heartbeat of jazz.” – Jo Jones 

Join Calgary jazz drummer Jon McCaslin in his guided tour through the evolution of jazz drumming. This webinar will offer a basic understanding and appreciation of how the rhythms of jazz drumming have changed and evolved over the past 100 years. Learn about drumming icons such as Warren “Baby” Dodds, Chick Webb, Kenny Clarke, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette and many more in this musical survey of jazz music’s masters of time and rhythm.

“Do you know why they call a drummer’s seat a throne? Because drummers are kings and queens!" – Ed Thigpen
