(2021)

published in: KC Research Portal
After a long investigation of the jazz discography from 1920s until today, Dimitris Koutantos chose 5 recordings which contain drum-comping styles with these two characteristics:
1)not-cymbal-oriented
2)non-repetitive.
For his research exposition, he uses a variety of media (such as videos, musical notation & text) to show you his path:
-searchng and choosing recordings
-transcribing them
-analyzing them
-creating different exercises (to solve problems)
-turning what he learned into action
-looking for his own comping style (inspired by those drummers)
-sharing his thoughts and conclusions.
With this research, Dimitris hopes to help other drum-students:
-explore these 'unconventional' styles of comping
-improve their time & co-ordination
-search for their own style.
