Are you suggesting his movements in this one measure were so unique that they exactly doubled the length of one eighth note?
At some point I think we have to put the “it was a freak accident that was repeated with precision over and over, forever” argument to bed.
- IsTom 3y agoWith n=1, for me there is a groove or three that are just muscle memory and I'd need a longer while to sit down and think if asked write them down. They came out from noodling around and coming to "huh, that sounds cool" and I imagine that's not something particularly uncommon for other people too.
- brookst 3y agoI think we lost the thread here. I wasn't suggesting Lars had millisecond-level intrinsic timing and an innovative approach to music theory. I was rejecting the idea that this beat came from incompetence. I think developing an interesting groove and being able to play it consistently in a song, and in live performances for years is evidence of drumming competence.
