Time

Ride:
Standard Pattern.
2/4 heavy, open.
Sometimes interrupted by comping.
-
-
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.
