More Minutes 34 - Roy Haynes

Roy Haynes' performance on Chick Corea's 1968 record Now He Sings, Now He Sobs was a pivotal moment in jazz drumming. His driving time on a dry flat ride, paired with his crisp and fluid 3-voice comping set a new standard that continues to influence drummers today. This extended lesson takes the uptempo comping phrase from the album's opening track "Steps - What Was" that I explored Minute of Drums 34, and teaches you 3 new variations displacing the idea around the measure.
