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.

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.
I think he (Keiran Hebden) uses a similar pattern in some of my other favorite songs of his. I really like it, within the whole contrapuntal/round fabric he loves to build and break. It IS interesting !
It’s like Beethoven- you can make a heck of a lot out of a simple rhythmic element.
(And I like your name for it :))
I thought you would.
Who knew Mr. Clean could be so wonderfully abstract?
Between the Drano title and Mr. Clean shot, I think I have a new vista of titles/work to explore. :) And my drain is STILL clogged, after a whole bottle.
I feel your pain. I just called the plumber. A shower is going to be a religious experience.
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.
