Hairy, welcome to the World Of Rock & Roll. I don't think you will find any other genre with as wide a spectrum as this one. In fact you will find influences from just about every other genre in this world. Enjoy!

(speaking of your early listening preferences you might want to explore the early works of Emerson Lake & Palmer - there you'll find your Bach, Beethoven AND Brubeck in a rock setting)

Many moons ago ( 1977 actually ), I started taking lessons for 5 years from a big band drummer who specialized in Marching. He immediately started pounding rudiments and jazz continuously for those 5 years. I - of course - moonlighted as rock-n-roll drummer, but have always nourished my rudiment and jazz skills ( more rudiment ). I still continue to record jazz songs with prepared MIDI songs and am trying to get my bass player brother and my killer piano playing father in law involved for some jazz recordings. I find my rock-n-roll playing is dripping with a jazz flavor.
