Some good slower tempo jazz practice loops. All maintain a pretty consistent triplet feel, no one’s double timing his cymbal beat. Forms on most of these are 12 bar blues, except Stella By Starlight is a 32 bar tune, sort of an A (16) B (8) A1 (8). Some of them lean into shuffle feel, which you can do, I use them for my straight jazz materials.
Kenny Burrell – Mule – 62 bpm
John Coltrane – Blues To Elvin – 72 bpm
Milt Jackson – Stella By Starlight – 78 bpm
Kenny Burrell – Saturday Night Blues – 92 bpm
John Coltrane – Mr. Syms – 98 bpm
Oliver Nelson – J&B – 108 bpm
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.
