The Art of Bop Dumming by Jon Riley

Progressive Steps to Syncopation by Ted Reed

Jazz Drum Studio by John Pickering

Buy any or all three of these. Perfect place to start. And start listening to a lot of jazz. Good luck, dude. Jazz is great.

The was one of the first books my teacher gave me: Jazz Drum Cookbook

I spent hours and hours working through it. You can start off with rock to get the interdependence, then swing/jazz, then use it for Latin if you want. Highly versatile and effective book, I can't recommend it enough!

I'd recommend this book as well to the other suggestions. This goes through the jazz basics in a very easy to digest form. Starts with 8th note comping on snare, then bass drum, then hit hat and lastly all together. Then it moves to triplet comping. It's very fluid in its presentation. Highly recommended.
