Part 6 of the Chasin’ the Trane transcription project. Elvin Jones playing on that eternal classic track from John Coltrane Live at the Village Vanguard. My head isn’t fully back into this series, so I don’t have a lot to say about it. Perhaps we’re getting a little bit wilder, seeing more triplets? The transcription runs from 5:49-7:00, so we’re nearing ~45% completion.
Keep an eye out for the the bass drum in the middle of the triplet lick— it happens several times. See how much of what follows it is similar, or the same. It’s not like it’s a major lick, it’s just a little emergent pattern of the kind that develops when you play a lot.
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.
