As promised– or hinted at, rather– here is Al Foster’s hip and unusual groove from Miles Davis’s Rated X, from the record Get Up With It:
As you can hear, the 1 and the 4 of the first measure are accented slightly; he may also do a slight open hihat at the beginning.
Listen to Rated X at its Daily Best Music In The World entry from a few days ago.
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
