Gary Chaffee, one of the foremost teachers on the scene today, insists that his students learn the drumming styles of famous players. He provides students with an extensive collection of classic jazz recordings, enabling the students to hear the original drummer on the recording and then play along with a classic recording. When listening to a jazz piano master comp (rhythmically accompany) behind a soloist, it reveals a treasure chest of ideas to be used for snare drum bass drum interplay.

This study is written combining the ionian mode with its major seventh chord as one sound. This skill is expected by most educators and is a requirement for playing all the jazz materials now available as melodies, patterns, and transcribed solos. "Woodshedding" the treble and bass clef exercises included in this article (pages 26 & 27), which progresses in cycle through all twelve keys, will put the sound of the ionian mode and its corresponding major seventh chord at the student's fingertips where it belongs for practical application.

I will touch on the role of the ride cymbal, form/phrasing, and comping in conjunction with an exercise on sound and another exercise on independence. Instead of playing the regular phrase, try playing quarter notes. It may sound a little too simple, but this will really give you the chance to lock in with the bass and create the groove, also known as swing. When I first starting playing jazz, I jumped in to things like comping and soloing, and I really missed the importance of my ride cymbal. jazz_concert http://www.colorado.edu/cwa/pdfs/jazz_concert.pdf March 24, 2003 -- The University of Colorado's Fifty-fifth Conference on World Affairs Annual Jazz Concert, on Tuesday, April 8, 8pm in Macky Auditorium on the University of Colorado's Boulder campus, will feature a bevy of world-class performers.
