Real Book Drumming is a YouTube series of mine in which I transcribe and play choruses of songs from the Real Book, the bible for all jazz players. In this video, it's the first 76 of the piece "Question and Answer“, composed by Pat Metheny, recorded on December 21, 1989 at the Power Station in New York City for the studio album "Question and Answer". On drums, Roy Haynes.
"Question and Answer" is a classic ¾ time piece by Pat Metheny, featuring the complex and refined drumming of none other than drummer Roy Haynes. Released in 1989 as part of the album "Question and Answer", the piece has a fast-paced and energetic melody, which Roy Haynes supports perfectly with his precise and agile playing. From the first beat, Haynes' way of playing the ride cymbal, with its intricate patterns and polyrhythmic embellishments, and the stepped articulate hi-hat interjections, provides a driving beat and lays the foundation upon which the rest of the band can easily build, always being in service of the song.
Overall, Roy Haynes' drumming on "Question and Answer" is a masterpiece of jazz drumming. His technical prowess, musical sensibilities and creative flair combine to create a unique performance that stands the test of time.
