The nice thing about writing being so easy is, I can get pretty granular with my stuff. Like, I wrote this for one student, to get him away from being so 1-oriented. It won’t do the rest of us any harm either.
Playing this as a repetitive pattern makes you move your hand in a slightly different way than normal, in a jazz feel. It’s almost a 4/4 waltz. There have been some drummers who play this a lot, almost as a default cymbal rhythm. I want to say Frankie Dunlop— he may give the feel of it if not play it outright. The tune Thelonious suggests that kind of groove, even if Ben Riley isn’t actually playing it there. I feel like I’ve heard it on some R&B heavy jazz records. I hear it with Max Roach as well, ending phrases with this stop on beat 4.
Swing the 8th notes, obviously. Put the written exercise at the end of a two measure phrase, if you wish— one measure time, one measure exercise.
In which case— if the comping part clearly continues across the barline— ending on 1 or 2— our more sophisticated readers can play it that way in the two measure phrase:
As you can see, you can play the full exercise pattern in the second measure of the phrase, or just play the end of it, finishing on beat 1 or 2 of the repeat.
