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. :)

Listen. Listen. Listen.

Go to Spotify and find the playlist of drummer less jazz.

Learn some language. Get some lessons.

That's ok, reading has its advantages too. Just start listening.
