        Quarters on cymbal with brush, occasional triplet off note

        Brushes
        Always on head
        snares off
        hits 2+ within time often
        2/4 on snare
        (3)+(4)+ hits: plays time, very loud and great hit. Leaves on head?
        
        HH
        Usually on 2/4
        Sometimes used to break time (1:57)

        HH:
        2/4.
        Nicely mixed; heard but not overbearing.
        
        Ride:
        Standard Pattern.
        2/4 heavy, open.
        Sometimes interrupted by comping.
        
        Comping:
        Standard Vocab of the time.
        Sometimes plays toms.
        Rarely plays bass drum.
        
        BD:
        Not feathering.
        Sometimes used to comp.
        Generally hit with cymbal crash.
      - Things to Note:
        Sometimes breaks time to play a fill(?): ex. 1:59
        Sometimes barely comps
        Dynamically fairly even.
      - Soloing:
        Lots of 16ths (among drums)
        Immense use of motives (repetition and smooth flow into new ideas)
        Not a lot of space.
        Triplets on snare.
        Not much bass drum - when used, done to fill in gaps in hands
        HH - used as another voice, not on 2/4
        Comfortable around the kit, but "time" is old-school.

        HH
        Plays shuffle pattern on closed, partially open, or in a combination of open and closed with the "jazz beat - (open, closed, open, (open))
        
        BD
        Probably feathering. Hard to tell on this recording.... but it IS felt, not heard
        
        Comping
        Plays (1)+ on the rod of the HH stand, or
        2 on the HH rod, or
        Charleston on the wood block/snare, or
        brief comping on the snare, which is occasionally used for band hits
      - Fills (Breaks in Time)
        Break in time with HH accent - sometimes on (2)+
    - - Time
        Rolls on snare (0:11)
        On 2/4 with fills

        Comping
        Sparse, especially while playing time on HH
        Sometimes w/ rim click, rarely BD
        
        "Time Source"
        HH and Ride
        Ride: 1/3 are quieter - throwing on 2/4
    - - Lots of GREAT, simple time
      - Ride cymbal evenly emphasized - probably due to slow tempo
