I don't know if there is a "right" place to start with jazz... but Miles Davis is usually accepted as one of the best jazz artists ever, and his album Kind of Blue is what got me into the genre. Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, and Louis Armstrong are all other artists that helped me love the genre... but explore, find what you enjoy. There's a ton of jazz fusion out there too, so find bands that incorporate other genres into jazz, or vice versa.

And I'm a drummer too! Play in a band?

Good call on BADBADNOTGOOD, by the way. I'm seriously jamming to them right now.
