By watching this video, you will gain a stronger understanding of what comping is, its importance and how to execute it better.

You will also learn some practical applications of comping ideas and rhythms based on the master drummers Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Art Blakey and Art Taylor.

If you wish to skip over the VERY IMPORTANT yet BRIEF speaking portion of this video (which I'm sure you don't:), the playing examples start at:

Common comp rhythm @ 3:58

Art Blakey/Art Taylor @ 5:04

Max Roach @ 5:21

Elvin Jones @ 7:11

The books I recommend working out of are:

Ted Reed - Syncopation
Jim Chapin - Independence for the Modern Drummer
Keith Hall - Jazz Drums Now Vol. 1
John Riley - The Art of Bop Drumming
