    When you know The Police's fondness for reggae rhythm, you know you're hearing the accents on the up beat.

    Oh right the bass drum is on the second and fourth beat 😮" in levare " and hihat on the upbeat. This is one of the possible variants of the one drop technique. He uses it often. Thanks Jay your lessons are the best ones. Thanks again for all the stuff you teach us

    • @MrJeremy0311
      @MrJeremy0311 7 месяцев назад

      That’s a good one. It’s in 5/4. This means a down beat isn’t heard every other measure like in other timings. That makes it hard.

    Actually, if you’re a Gen X’er, no surprise to us. We heard the last version because we were Walkman kids. You can hear the last one quite clearly on your Walkman vs. just listening to it without headphones and we were a generation glued to our headphones! And playing air guitar and drum solos! 😂 so it’s probably a surprise of the generations after us because as X generation, we were in deep in music during our time, and we heard all the little nuances of beats, riffs, in voices, etc, with our headphones!

    In fact there are many people that can't even clap their hand on tempo. The harcore level is to teach them clap on 2 and 4. But they deserve to enjoy music...

    For what to do next, on a similar vein, analyze the song "Videotape" by Radiohead. It might seem a normal song but there's something interesting there, let's see if you find it is interesting enough to analyze it.
