Maybe this will give you an idea or two:

Also you probably could have put this up as a question in the main forum (piano lounge) rather than creating a new room for your questions, but maybe it's a good idea to have a "comping room".

I agree with the idea of a comping room. I think it would help a lot of members.

Comping room
  Comping is a great topic for a room
  It is not only a matter of voicing but  rhythm
   and rhythm you will learn in life not in a book or with jazz "expert "

Pad Comping
I'm not sure where this post should be placed.  However, since we have acquired a Comping room, it is going here.

I'm referring to a comping style known as Pad Comping described tantalisingly in Per Danielson's http://www.melbay.com/creativekeyboard/apr04/comping.html

Does anyone know anything further/have any thoughts about this style? History - any connection with keyboard pad? How/why it works so beautifully with ballads? Or is it just that the voicings are so well worked out? The dynamics seem to be particularly important, as woule be the setting in which it is used - by this I am thinking of no noisy guitars drowning these voicings out and/or the levels/mix of any drums/electronic instruments.
