Here's a method I use with my students to learn basic big band-style set-ups and kicks. It uses page 10 of Syncopation by Ted Reed (I think it's lesson 4 in the new edition). Like a lot of methods of working with this book, it requires a little bit of creative interpretation, but it doesn't require too much of a leap of imagination to visualize the figure the way it would appear in an actual chart.
Is anyone else doing anything similar? I haven't seen this anywhere else, but it seems pretty intuitive, and I'd be surprised if a lot of people hadn't come up with it independently.
