Jazz Drum Comping Exercise for Left-Hand Endurance

If you’ve been struggling to keep your left hand relaxed and grooving while comping, this quick lesson’s gonna change your game. I’ll show you a go-to triplet-based Jazz drum comping exercise that’ll build real left-hand endurance and tighten up your playing.

We’ll break it down step-by-step with bass drum, snare, ride, and hi-hats so you can get that Elvin Jones-style triplet flow without overplaying. This one’s all about balance, feel, and staying relaxed.

If you’re new to Jazz or just woodshedding your comping chops, this exercise will make your time feel stronger and your swing sound smoother.
