"St. Thomas" - Sonny Rollins - Transcription...

[Lance69]

Can someone transcribe the drum part during the introduction of St. Thomas for me. I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks a lot,
Lance

A rather simple intro :
He is using 2 toms :1 hi, 1 lo, and h.h. foot

I could transcribe it for you, but I don't know how to print music notation on this forum or if possible. So here is a geek notation version.

Anyway, if you know how to count swing 8th's (1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &)

it would be this : 1 (lo tom) &of2 (hi tom) &of3 (hi tom) 4 (hi tom). H.H. on 2 and 4

he is also possibly playing extreme light bass drum on all 4 quarter notes.

Let me know if you understand or not.

Its in the Modern Drummer dec. issue with Max Roach, along with other tunes!

You can post transcriptions on the Free Jazz Institute. It's a great site.
