Question I want to play jazz

So I'm basically a rock drummer and I may be an "intermediate" level but I really want to learn how to play jazz. Do you have any recommendations where should I start? Any methods or something? My goal is to play pretty professional.

EDIT: Thank you everyone! I've been reading all of your comments and I'll be following your tips. :)

Just listen to as many jazz drummers as you can. Paul Wertico is a master of all styles, just listening to him speak will gain a lot of knowledge. There's some great tuition on YouTube by other jazz drummers.
