I'm sure the wisdom of this list can help me here:
Is there a name for the drum kit cliche that typically (used to) close
off the final chord of soft jazz/lounge pieces? It sort of sounds
like a triplet down the toms down to the kick drum/snare.
Thanks for any help,
Matthew
Hi Mathew:
I don't believe this has been asked before. If the drummer is
experienced, I just tell him/her to put a "button" the ending. I
personally like a soft cymbal and bass drum on the cutoff. If I am
rehearsing the group and the drummer doesn't understand what I want, I
have the whole group to play the last chord triple F. Usually the
drummer knows what is wanted. Then I have everyone play the ending
triple P and have the drummer play what he did before only very softly.
This usually works.
I am a fanatic about endings. I'm not at all happy with a triplet down
the toms down to the kick drum/snare. It's doesn't finish off the piece
and I am not satisfied.
For me the problem I have with many drummers is that they have too many
things to hit. Sometimes I am at the mercy of their choices.
Hope this helps:
Bob Florence
