So you and dude are playing some jazz now. Supposing you were into rock more earlier. Is it the safe assumption that the transition from rock to jazz is a natural one? My teacher/coach/instructor (depending on your labeling view) is into jazz too.

Yeah, I taught myself how to play when I was in high school in the '80s, by listening to "hair metal" like Def Leppard, Dokken, Ratt; etc. as well as listening to my parents' old Boston, ZZ Top, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin records.
The only real jazz "playing" I do is if I set up my little Pearl Export kit (18" kick, 10" rack tom, 14" floor tom) that I keep in my office at home and put in the earbuds. I'm a long, long way from being ready to play with other jazz musicians.
I guess migrating from rock to jazz would be natural for someone like me, who started with rock. I guess, if a drummer started with jazz, it might be somewhat of a small challenge to learn to simplify and "play for the song" as most pop and rock drummers do... ??

The biggest key to playing jazz is listen to a shite ton of jazz music. Chances are, you've heard thousands of rock songs, but very few jazz.
