A couple of pages to go with my wild, sprawling, scattershot world's shortest Roy Haynes waltz lesson. That contains a lot of raw concepts for someone who is listening to a lot of Roy Haynes to come up with their own version of his kind of thing, in 3/4 time. Or a 3/4 feel in 4/4 time.
Here I've given some sticking patterns, put them on a cymbal and snare drum, and then changed them a little bit:
Like a lot of my stuff, the point is to work through a lot of basically equally-difficult things in one session. See the original WSRHWL for suggestions on where to take these. Briefly:
• Add stock rhythms with the feet: BD on 1, HH on 2, or 2 and 3
• Add BD along with some or all of the cymbal notes.
There are some more advanced options involving the left foot:
• Play the LF in unison with the LH, or replacing the LH, or replacing the LH on some notes.
• Along with whatever you do with the LF, add BD along with some or all of the cymbal notes.
Some things to try. Listen to a lot of Roy and play them your own way, and don't stop for mistakes.
