Happy Birthday Bill Stewart! Drum Licks and Crosstalk Groove - Multicam

Jazz drummer Bill Stewart is 46 today! (Oct 18, 2012) Bill has easily been the greatest influence on my jazz drumming. The first clip is a lick he uses sometimes during solos. I play it fast, slower to give a good view of the sticking, and then full speed again. The second clip is another idea he uses during solos and he orchestrates it in many interesting ways; two of which I demonstrate here at fast and slow tempos. The final clip is a short demonstration of a groove he plays on a track called ’Crosstalk’ from his own album ’Snide Remarks’. The end of the clip shows the sticking at a slower tempo. This video is the fourth installment of the ’Drummer’s Birthdays’ series on UPDATE - I’ve added notation to the original post. You can see it here: Follow me on twitter! @shuffleupagus
