Fellow Des Moines native, Bill Stewart, shows us how to solo over a vamp in 3/4. I was lucky enough to see Bill play a lot while I was in high school. Whenever he was back from NYC during the holidays, he’d sit in with the local big band where his dad was a trombonist. Bill is a master at applying melodies to the kit and using polyrhythms to create moments of tension and release, all the while being 100% musical.

made me think why stuff like that isn’t found in more popular styles. I don’t mean drum solos, the polyrhythmic stuff. It’s not hard to listen to and friggin fun the way it breaks in to the base pattern
