Here is part 4 of a series of videos all about developing melodic soloing and comping using some classic bebop tunes. In this video I use the Charlie Parker tune Moose the Mooche as melodic material for soloing and time playing. This tune is in a 32 bar AABA form with a very rhythmic head. I show you how I think about soloing ideas and concepts when I am playing this tune and the basic steps I use to master them.
The drums used in the video are Gretsch Centennial from 1983.
The sizes of these drums are: 18" x 14" bass, 10",12" and 14" toms and a 14"x 6.5" snare.
The cymbals in this video are all 1940's- 1950's K Zildjian except for a Masterworks 24" Swish/China
Cymbal sizes
21" K ride
18" K crash/ride w/rivets
15" K Hi Hats
24" Masterworks swish/china with rivets

The drum heads are all calf skin.
Microphones are two Sennheiser MKH 800's for stereo overheads and an AKG D112 on the bass drum.
