Well, the best thing really is to listen and watch jazz drummers play, maybe on Youtube or something. Or, even look for some video jazz drumming lessons on Youtube. I'm not really sure of any jazz drum books out there though...

I agree this is the best way to learn any style. Apart from 1 on 1 instruction.

I would suggest starting with the basics: swing

Some artists to check out: Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Buddy Rich

For more contemporary artists: Bad Plus, Happy Apple

Or simply google jazz drummers and find hundreds more.
