    Spaven is playing odd meter which is fairly standard in good jazz drumming. It's not breakbeat at all. Breakbeat is derived from funk which leads with the kick drum on the one of every phrase and is 4/4. What Spaven is doing here is far more complex. Varied sub groups odd meter. In many of his phrases here he leads with the hat and the kick is after the one. (Like many jazz standards) Spaven is a modern jazz drummer first in style and innovation. If you try to count 4 over 4 , you will begin to notice the pattern is off in places by the end of the riff. that's the odd meter. Drum and bass is 4/4 (even) each phrase can be divided equally into sub groups. He's perfectly in time but his internal meter is varying odd meters against the 4/4 of the other players which throws the listener off at times. Makes it far more interesting to listen to again and again. Tony Williams was a master at this in the 1970's. So was ginger, the drummer from Cream who later played with feli kuti. Both considered great Jazz drummers. African rhythms are generally this complex and rotate odd meters, feli kuti's albums are good examples. (also Listen to Miles Davis 'on the corner' album or 'Rated X for some mind bending Tony Williams complex 70's jazz fusion drumming. Producers like Bukem, Adam F, Photek, Goldie, 4 hero were all influenced by Miles Davis fusion records. No doubt Richard was too. SPAVEN is a master at pocket playing and odd meter. The reason why many people cannot feel the pulse in this, (I don't mean you) is because 4/4 is the dominant time signature of modern music and we've all been conditioned to its easy flat even pattern, unless you're from south America where 3/4 salsa is also still a major pop time signature or listen u to a lot of jazz. but back in the 50's 60's 70's 3/4 5/4 7/4 were just as common as 4/4 and jazz drummers could work them easily. Very few pop songs are in odd meter, its not radio friendly or 'catchy' for non muso types. Pink Floyd's money is 7/4 but changes to 4/4. That's an easy one to count off because the bass is the strong 7/4 motif. Listen to Sting, walking on the moon, notice how Stuart copeland switches from offbeat reggae Drum pattern, to onbeat (kick on the one) to shift the pace of the track, not as easy as it seems. Another great jazz taught drummer who can switch meter, tempo or syncopation easily in his head. Adam Neely has done some good videos on explaining complex odd meters recently and his drummer has been experimenting with some odd rhythmic patterns also. Not Drum and bass but worth a listen to expand your listening.

  • @wilgray9885

    It's totally 4/4. The structure of bars are what make it sound weird. We are used to even bar chord changes and 8 bar structures. If structured evenly, we should hear a chord change every 2 bars (8 beats). But this song was written with two extra bars. For the first 6 bars of the song there is a chord change every 3 bars (12 beats) instead of every 2 bars, then the structure goes to the 2 bar chord change structure for the last 4 bars before repeating the pattern. (At least for the beginning of the song...LOL. They switch the arrangement a bit mid tune and at the end but the beginning should guide you through the rest...)

  • @joefish6546

    @joefish6546

    5 жыл бұрын

    Snare on 3 helps! I think, the bass lands on the sixteenth after the fourth quarter note (4naN) instead of the 1st quarter note, which throws you off because your brain tries to use the bass to start the count of the measure. Then there's the right hand (high-hat) pattern, which is basically every third 16th, starting on the third sixteenth (second 8th) in the first bar. In other words 1n A n2 N an 3 na N 4n A n. In the chorus the snare lands on the 2nd 8th of the 2nd note i.e. 1nan2n A n... and the right hand pattern is a little different. That gives it the syncopation that makes you feel it as you lift your head while your bobbing.

    To explain briefly . It is a binary 4/4 but the key is that most of notes on the hi hat and snare ghost notes are in another feel , a ternary subdivision . It is like a kind of 4 against 6 but since the snare backbeat is always here , we have a feeling of a regular 4/4.

    Definitely 4/4. If it helps you, make the snare the third beat.

    It's a 3 bar loop (for the verse at least) in 4/4 time. And the grid is clearly sixteenth notes. PERIOD!!!! hahaha
