anybody gettin screwed up on the time should watch this video of calvin rodgers playing this song called "tell the devil I'm Back" thats where he's getting that loop from so u can feel the song and basis of wut he's doin'
Where did you see the video? I couldn't find it on youtube (maybe lookin' too fast for it, but calvin rogers + devil didn't bring up the result). Thanks.
...Not only that, but also in 12/8, in order to count a good "boom-clap", you'd have to group the icti in THREES: ONE-2-3-FOUR-5-6-SEVEN-8-9-TEN-11-12: ONE! Then try to catch the displacement all at the same instance (duple-triple). 1-TWO-3-4-FIVE-6-7-EIGHT-9-10-ELEVEN-12: 1. None of it's good, because there's no natural grouping of the ictus OR the triplets to where they can flow rhythmically. To all who said it was 12/8, incorrect! Not 2offend; "K.I.S.S--Keep It Simple, Stupid."
I'm sorry, but I insist that you're mistaken here. 12/8 has am ictus: it's in 4. It's the compound meter version of 4/4. When you conduct in 12/8, you conduct in 4. The difference is that the natural subdivision of the beat is always into three parts, rather than two. Playing in 12/8 does not mean you count to twelve; you count to four, only it's ONE-and-a-TWO-and-a-THREE-and-a-FOUR-and-a, as opposed to ONE-and-TWO-and etc.
The advantage of considering the beat in 12/8 is that it eliminates the need to consider multiple subdivisions of each beat. If you consider it 4/4, there's an inherent assumption that the default subdivision of the beat, which he isn't playing, is in two, which contradicts the subdivision he never abandons, three. In my mind, that is far less simple (K.I.S.S.) than just thinking about it in 12/8 and not worrying about subdividing the beat in multiple ways.
12/8, I say, is not this count. This is 4/4 with triplets. Even in conducting, 12/8 must be broken down to its common ictus, in which THERE IS NONE in 12/8. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12:1-2-3...and so on. In conducting (and in how he's playing), 4/4 with triplets suits the count because you'd ending up on the beat EVERYTIME. 1-2-3-4: 1-LA-li-2-LA-li-3-LA-li-4-LA-li; tri-PLE-let, tri-PLE-let! Counting in 12/8 retires the conducting as well as the groove...
Believe it OR NOT...You can say that's 12/8, but you're thinking TOO HARD. 4/4 with emphasis on the 2 of a triplet pattern is what u can say...At the beginning, that's what u hear. Good deal, Kevin! That groove is 1 clap 3 clap! FOUR! And yes, in a fast 4/4, tri-PLE-let, tri-PLE-let, where the emphasis. To say "12/8" is to retire the groove early. Make it easy on the groove itself, calling it 4/4 with triplets or 6/8 with duple meter. 12/8? Your arms'll fall off; tiring. Ciao.
I think a more simple version of what your saying is...it is in four. For every quarter note, he is playing triplets. For alot of those licks he is just accenting the 2nd part of the triplet...tri-PA-lit. Either way, good explanation.
Listen man. I didnt phrase it as a 12/8 on purpose. If I did that, then I couldnt group the eighth notes as TRI-PLE-LETS. Dont try to re-phrase my lesson man! Be blessed
yeah but when u phrase the entire groove like that then the entire beat value also changes. and also i was referring to the song that you played to which IS in 12/8. and trust im not hatin just tryin to shed some light and not let ur lesson be false
If you feel that you are not "hatin" as you say,then why say that you aren't "tryin" to to hate... STOP hatinig on my fam. Listen and learn. Be Blessed...
hey dont get nervous man, there´s always room for possitive critizism, the dude plays amazin but I also think he messed up a bit with the semantics. No problem there sometimes it´s harder to explain something than to actually play it. Props to drum masheen nice feel you got, just dont get so sensitive man
whos the man playing at the beggining of the video??
