Greg Hutchinson on the blues

All drummers should practice soloing over a walking bass line.  Is is a great exercise because it forces you to keep the time and groove constant throughout your solo, and it also gives you a clear context to hear a drum solo in relation to the harmonic implications of the song.

Here is a great video from one of our modern masters of jazz drumming, Greg Hutchinson.  Of course Greg's technique is flawless, but also listen to how strong and musical his phrases are over this Blues form... "Theme and Development."
