It is often important to accent the 1 with the BD to help the others stay in time. It is easy to confuse the other players by backing up a cymbal accent with a bass drum hit that is not on a downbeat. Again, there are exceptions.
You also want to avoid playing the snare on the 1 most of the time. That can also confuse the other players.
This is interesting. Various drummers have commented the "1" is not emphasized in jazz. The skip beat before the "1" is usually accented instead.
I understand there is no rules in jazz. (Actually, there is no rules in music. ) I'm talking about is what is common in jazz idioms. Being a beginner, I need the rules (the training wheels) before I can break the rules.
as long as you speak and understand the language there are absolutely zero rules
Rule number one of jazz club is "you do not talk about jazz club".
