The drummer comes in on second beat, off of 4/4. This is the exact same drum pattern of the song (There She Goes, by the LA's in 1990). Same chord progression, with alternative drum pattern, to avoid plagiarism. I like the foundation and soul of this song, for it is simple, with a great hook. The foundation of the sound is based on quirky lyrics, with a simple progression, taken from others. That part I do not like. Music is subjective, you are the judge & jury.
@@jeffmurdock8321 Thanks, I have been a drummer for over 30 years. What is interesting, is that the drummer on this song varies the pattern, however the downbeat is exactly same as the "La's. Water Underground is a good song, excellent hook.
@@adamlasko315 I'm terrible at drumming and understanding time signatures. LOL But I heard The La's in this song just by natural feel. But you know the technicalities of "why" it feels that way, which is cool.
@@jeffmurdock8321 It is a simple straightforward 4/4 time signature, a common drum pattern that has been played for decades. Think of this specific drum pattern as a chord. It works great with the "feel" because the drum pattern and the melodic structure are in sync. Which reinforces the back-beat, which is the secret to great rock songs.
