Here are five awesome jazz licks you can take away, make yours, and push forward in your own way:

Roy Haynes – “The Matrix”
In uptempo playing, this phrase – which is built on dotted quarter notes with quarter note triplets in between – slows down the time to create a unique texture.

Tony Williams – Crossover doublestops
This lick uses crossover doublestops between the floor tom, snare and hi-hat and creates a really cool rhythmic sound. Your right-hand plays on the downbeat, and you put the doublestop on the e.

Bill Stewart – 5 note crossovers
Take this five-note lick (RLRRL), incorporate the bass drum, and orchestrate the pattern around the kick as a crossover.

Eric Harland – Ascending tension
In this lick, you get an upward tom motion that’s great for building tension at the end of a musical phrase.

Steve Lyman – 9 note lick
Inspired by Tony Williams, add four single strokes to RLRRL. It sounds great between the snare and ride – using the ride as a ‘pivot’ – or between the toms. You can incorporate this into different rhythms to create tension and release at the ends and beginnings of song forms.
