Hi Dave,

I'm not a drummer, but I've heard jazz waltzes played in a heap of different ways. I guess that like anything musical, the end result is always what sounds right for the given circumstances. I also imagine that at different periods in time, different patterns have prevailed. Below is a link to some notation for Jazz Waltzes. I'm sure if you did a search, a great deal more notation can be found.

For what it's worth, I had a look in the Realdrum Picker and the following list of Jazz Waltzes are available as Realdrums.



Since the drummers playing the above tracks are all top notch, highly respected professionals, I'd be guided by what they do.

Regards,
Noel
