Elvin Jones Ari Hoenig System 

I am playing the top line of Melody 8 from "Systems", Book 1: Drumming Technique and Melodic Jazz Independence by Ari Hoenig. I based this off an Elvin Jones clinic someone documented. It is based on a 3 note motif, Snare, bass drum, hi hat, played in that order regardless of the rhythm encountered. If the measure is divisible by 3, i.e. 3, 6, 9, 12, it will repeat on the same limb, all others will start on a different limb making it more challenging. You can use any of the melodies in the book, 1 - 8, however 5 - 8 have all elements of the triplet partial making it more "Elvin" like.
