Page o' coordination: Dannie Richmond-inspired

A page o' coordination inspired by that last Dannie Richmond transcription, with a syncopated cymbal pattern. Are you getting to the point with these that you can anticipate what the left hand parts are going to be? We'll step up the level of difficulty on future entries.

These are written to be played with a swing interpretation, but you could also play them straight, and convert the triplet rhythms to 16th notes in whatever way seems right. Maybe a la this page; or as in the explanation here. An easy variation would be to add bass drum to one or both of the remaining cymbal notes. Don't forget the left hand moves.
