Time Studies Part IIIby Michael Green Time StudiesPart lllby Michael GreenHello readers! Are you ready for another dose of jazz time studies? For this issue we'll explore some comping phrases that are more flowing and triplet based. We are going to play these phrases with the systems or ostinatos below. Not all of the exercises work with each system (set a includes the hi-hat foot and set b omits the hi-hat foot) Therefor the exercises are labeled accordingly. For example 1ab would work with both sets of systems and 8b would only work with set b. Make sure and check out the audio examples. You can play right along with me or repeat after me in the measures between. After you learn each one individually, try playing them back to back. Audio example 44-47.mp3Audio example 48-51.mp3  I hope you have enjoyed this issue of Percussion Sessions. Feel free to contact me with questions, comments, or if you are interested in writing for Percussion Sessions at michaeldrums@gmail.com. Happy playing and best wishes,Michael [ top ]
