Jazz drumming in mass culture

[Rabshakeh]

When a character in a film or TV show goes into a jazz club, you know it is a jazz club because there is a drummer in shades playing ti tu tu ti tu tu ti on his hi hats. That hi hat pattern is immediately recognisable as a symbol that jazz is occuring. 

Can anyone think of actual examples of this drum pattern in the jazz of the 1940s to 1960s. Maybe I'm just tired and struggling to think of it whilst listening to Andrew Cyrille. 

[Dub Modal]

All over the place but specific examples escape me right now. Definitely a thing though. 

[JSngry]

As a repetitive loop type thing, no. But as a building block/cell, yeah, it's omnipresent on hi-hat and brushes alike.

Not sure if I know exactly what you mean but is it something like JC Heard is doing here from 2:35 when OP starts soloing?

[T.D.]

That's it!

I was unable to image what was being referred to. But upon hearing that clip, the memory circuits switched on. 

[Rabshakeh]

Yes! The Nordine is a perfect example. Maybe even at the time it was more of a "jazz culture" thing, rather than a "jazz" thing?

[JSngry]

Time to go back to Jo Jones with Basie!!!

[Rabshakeh]

Did Jo Jones do that too? I'm wretched and can't think of anything.

[JSngry]

Jo Jones more or less invented it!!!

 

 

[JSngry]

And thus it was evermore ..

 

 

[JSngry]

Jo Jones is in the DNA.

[Rabshakeh]

Yeah. That Mulligan is another one that's straight on the nose. I see what you mean about Jo Jones in the Jumpin' clip.
