Very interesting article! The sound is blown out a bit on the video so it's hard to hear the subtleties of the beat but it's clear there are what would amount to quite a lot of time signature changes in our notation. Maybe Marco Minnemann could play it sight unseen ;)
I will have to keep an eye out for Alexander's book, it seems that it will be fascinating.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoTime signature changes or just tuples? There's a thing about 0:40 where the whole top part sort of ... aliases/wagonwheels back around. Seems to be a mostly 4/4 foot throughout mainly kept by that cymbal sounding thing in a backbeat manner. PAGING CHAD WACKERMAN. Seriously.
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoTime signature changes. And probably different phrase lengths. It sounds to me like each part has its own separate timing grid, and - apart from the backbeat - none of them are predictably regular. Fascinating article - really, really interesting.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoI dunno - maybe this is one of those "Black Dog (by Zep) is in 4/4" things. I didn't hear the backbeat vary much.
