help with double time feel in part of jazz song
Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2022 9:29 am
Hello,
I'm trying to mimic the drums in this particular song (Joe Pass's version of I had the Craziest Dream).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfOlCETFSDM
The song is at a very slow 70 or so BPM. During the second time around, the tempo remains the same but the feel is almost a like double time. You can hear the band pick up in the video I linked between 1min15sec and 1min20sec. I'm using James Stix with the Jazz Swing style. I've tried inserting a hats grid and played with that but i still cant really get close to this quick, energetic yet slow tempo playing. Would I be better off doubling the tempo in my DAW at this section? Should I try another style or drummer?
I should note that I only have the most basic paid version of Jamstix--no AIpak or anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
