This is the great, percussive intro to "Murder By Numbers"... a song featuring drumming (and a drum sound) that's so good it made my nose bleed the first time I heard it. (!!) Any drummer who draws blood (or consistent delighted laughter) from me... well, that's how I know I like him. And Copeland does it consistently. He's one of the top rock drummers ever. Few have been more unique.
Here, think of the bass drum as being on the upbeats (if you count slow 4/4 w/ hih-hat triplets). Or I suppose you could write it in 12/8, in which case the BD is on 4 and 10. It can definitely be hard to find your bearings in this beat when just hearing the intro.
Thats a very hard rythm and you make it look so easy...right on!
