Hey jazzer's out there, was just wondering what beat in the bar line are you comping with when keeping time backing someone up? As a rule of thumb, I thought it was always on the & of 2 or & of 4, but I have a tendacy to move the accents around. Basically I am trying to listen to the soloist and comp behind him, but some times it sounds a little draggy in certain parts of the bar.
Any exercise books that are good for this other than the standard ones that i use like Reed's syncopation, Chapin's modern jazz drumming 4 way cordination book.
thanks,
Martin
