Note – video examples of the Issue 65’s article are now up on www.youtube.com/jhesterdrums
Here are the bass lines to go with this months Rhythm Section tuition article.
There is an MP3 and the Midi File here (so you can alter the speed of it) and it runs each bass line for 8 bars and then repeats, and a bass chart for your bass player to read. Try various different drum grooves and see how they affect the feel of the overall rhythm section groove, as well as the ones in the article.
Have fun!!
