I'm looking for the most common beat in jazz that have both kick snare in it.
If you would have to pick one swing-beat to learn as a all-round-drummer what would it be?
I've got the ride and left-foot pattern but what about kick and snare?
I understand kick and snare are mainly there to spice tunes up in jazz according to the feel of the song but isn't there ONE pattern that is a bit more common than all the rest like any other style?
Ghost kicks on every quarter notes and Snare on every A? (1 & A 2 & A 3 & A 4 & A)
That's what I got from one video but the first basic swing-beat are all different when learning from different teachers online which confuses me... I just heard an Art Blakey recording playing the snare on the 2 and 4 which was much easier to play along.
I'm on a mission to learn 1 common beat of every style... so far I got:
Reggae: one drop
Blues: Shuffle
Jazz: A swing pattern but I'm unsure if it's a better one out there to nail in case I ever come in a jazzy situation
Latin clave: Bossa nova
SKA: Still looking into that...
Suggestion on more styles and common patterns is appreciated.
