With my jazz loops I get at least one complete chorus in there. Then you get the full form, plus repeated listens to one soloist-- I think there's some benefit to having it be a semi-static environment. <br /><br />My problem with whole tracks is that it's tempting to just play, when what I'm really doing is practicing drum stuff-- like focused on a particular thing. I use them more to make book practice tolerable, and more musical, rather than for big picture stuff. <br /><br />A couple of other thoughts, I'll put them in a post on my site, and link to you. But great post! Todd Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17481104613152814648noreply@blogger.com
