Whether you're a jazz drummer or just a fan of great music, I think you'll find this transcription to be a valuable resource. His technical prowess, musical sensibilities and creative flair combine to create a unique performance that stands the test of time. Overall, Roy Haynes' drumming on "Question and Answer" is a masterpiece of jazz drumming. From the first beat, Haynes' way of playing the ride cymbal, with its intricate patterns and polyrhythmic embellishments, and the stepped articulate hi-hat interjections, provides a driving beat and lays the foundation upon which the rest of the band can easily build, always being in service of the song. Released in 1989 as part of the album "Question and Answer", the piece has a fast-paced and energetic melody, which Roy Haynes supports perfectly with his precise and agile playing. "Question and Answer" is a classic ¾ time piece by Pat Metheny, featuring the complex and refined drumming of none other than drummer Roy Haynes. Cobb doesn't try to make a big show of himself, instead he provides just the right momentum and energy to drive the music forward at that point. The combination of the sounds of the broom and sticks in the fill-in blend beautifully with the character of the piece. What is particularly impressive about this fill-in is its simplicity, musicality, and precision. Here, Cobb plays a beautiful fill-in that serves as a transition to the trumpet solo. One of the most standout moments in Cobb's playing on "So What" is just before the trumpet solo. One noticeable thing right at the beginning is that Cobb plays the first theme (AABA) in his right hand on a ride cymbal with a broom and holds a stick in his left hand. I have analysed Thieme's transcriptions carefully and have had the opportunity to cross-reference the material with yndkun, Adgbl and linguist. His ability to maintain a steady, unobtrusive, yet simultaneously driving pulse throughout the track while still contributing to the overall structure and mood of the music is quite cinematic. In this video, it's the first 34 measures (excluding the eleven-bar prelude with piano and bass) of the piece "So What," composed by Miles Davis, recorded on Main New York City for the Miles Davis album "Kind of Blue." On drums James "Jimmy" Cobb.Jimmy.Ĭobb's drumming on "So What" is a masterful example of restrained and tasteful playing.
