"Steps-What Was" is the opening track of Chick Corea's album "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs" (1968), recorded with bassist Miroslav Vitouš and drummer Roy Haynes. Here is Roy comping transcription on Chick Corea's "What Was" solo. The song is in 3/4 time, the form is AAB (20-20-16).
Details:
- listen to how Roy keeps the time on the ride cymbal;
- comping using the hi-hat;
- Roy uses a 2 over 3 polyrhythm: you can listen to it almost everywhere in the song;  for example, listen to the head, or the first bars of the piano solo.
Better than the drum tab, this is a selection drum transcription, drum sheet music chart, or drum score for Steps What Was by Chick Corea.
