ResumoThis study aims to identify the jazz drumming characteristics of Tony Williams, a drummer who represents the post-bop era. To this end, we first examined the characteristics of postbop era playing, and then compared Tony Williams' and Jimmy Cobb's performances of Miles Davis' representative song So what to derive Tony Williams' playing characteristics. To analyze the performance comparison, we transcribed Jimmy Cobb and Tony Williams' performance of Miles Davis' So what. Next, we analyzed Greg Bizonet's interviews to identify his original performance. The analysis revealed that Tony Williams uses hi-hat feet and combination articulations to create a sense of musical space. He also developed the blush method. We hope that this study will help many drummers to improve their performance and provide audiences with higher quality music and a more comprehensive musical perspective.
