For the musicians + drummers

Dear musician/drummer people,

Rhythmic patterns question:

♪soundcloud Plastic People  Four Tet

If you count out 8 beats to a measure in this, and in the first phrase, the clap is on 2, and in the second (identical) phrase, the clap is on 6, is that something ?

Does that pattern have a name ?

That is all. Good night.

  1. It’s interesting, that’s what it is. I don’t know a name for it. Sounds like an alternating pattern of 2/4-4/4-2/4, or 4/4 with a repeating pattern of accents. Or we can call it Diana’s Rhythm.

  2. Who knew Mr. Clean could be so wonderfully abstract?

    Can’t get it to play on my computer. It probably doesn’t have a name. Some patterns have names but most don’t.

      F*cking sound cloud ! It’s so…. temperamental. You can find it on YT, I can also drop box it. I thought you’d go into an African-rhythm lesson for me, but then again, you didn’t hear it.
