A lot of drummers can get through a jazz solo…

But it still feels flat. Safe. Repetitive.

And when that happens, it’s almost always because you’re still thinking like someone trying to survive the form — instead of someone trying to make art.

In this video, I’m going to show you a concept I call Big Phrasing — the exact shift that takes you from “I hope I don’t mess up” to “I’m telling a story up here.”

Because once you’ve internalized the basics (form, vocabulary, phrasing), the thing that unlocks your next level is learning how to shape your solo like a hero’s journey — calm → tension → mastery → exhilaration.

I’ll walk you through a simple, repeatable framework of creative limitations that train this feeling into your intuition, so your solos stop sounding like exercises… and start sounding alive.
