This is a fast Latin groove played by Art Blakey during a solo on a concert video filmed in Japan, posted on Twitter by jazz writer Ted Gioia. I’m sure Blakey plays it on his records, too— first place I would look would be A Night In Tunisia.
For clarity I put the left hand, which plays rim clicks on the snare drum, on its own line— the rest of it is played with the right hand. Play with the snares off. He’s probably playing the bass drum, either quarter notes or half notes, but I can’t hear it. Tempo is above half note = 150.
He plays this variation:
You can see the video here, as long as it stays on Gioia’s Twitter feed. It happens at about 1:15.
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.
