TIM CARMAN - HAYNES-ISM

With Tim Carman's Haynes-ISM, by utilizing one segment of vocabulary – you read that right, only ONE! – played often by Roy Haynes, we will create hundreds of exercises. This one piece of vocabulary, which we'll refer to as our ISM, will be turned inside out and upside down, run through different time signatures, phrase lengths, and song forms, with the end result being the complete absorption of a fantastic piece of vocabulary played by Haynes and more importantly, the freedom to create your own interpretations of this ISM.

This book will explore three ways Haynes develops and alters the phrase:

• Permutation–shifting the starting location of the pattern within the measure

• Orchestration–moving the pattern to different drums or sound sources

• Subdivision Variation–“stretching” or “shrinking” the pattern by utilizing various subdivisions like triplets, eighth notes, and sixteenth n
