@@rejdrouin You apparently know nothing of musical chemistry.

Like the Beatles!

Been listening to Black Dog, trying to pick up little licks from the master and working on my kick triplets and it's so goddamn frustrating to try to syncopate with the recording. No two vocal breaks/returns to the riff are the same for, as you said, Bonzo would cue the REST of the band back in himself and all you have to listen for is his almost-indistinguishable stick hits. It's frustrating but fun and challenging and the only way I'll get it is to play the song over and over and over again until it becomes muscle memory. When I go digging up different recordings, remasters or live editions of Black Dog, they're still unique to each performance-which is JUST as rewarding, given that he likely counted in at his leisure based on different stipulations in the performance, ie. the length and style of Robert's refrains, the ring-out of Jimmy's guitar, or just how amped or tired John likely was from LZ's insane shows. Cheers mate.

I've listened to this song since basically birth and I've never noticed this. That's so cool! They were truly an irreplaceable act

I’m glad I saw this. I’m new to guitar and just started learning and I have been struggling with black dog. I love Bonham, he’s my favorite drummer of all time, but now I have someone to blame for not being able to play along to that song out loud. God it’s difficult.

Makes me think also of how you can hear his pedals squeaking on many tracks

@@GVilleAnarcho wrong. songwriters have nothing to do with the unmatchable PERFORMANCE of the four members of LZ playing in unison.

Except for the part that's other people's shit.

His mum's labour would have been easier if he wasn't born holding drumsticks in each hand. 😉

Exactly. Bonham propelled the nervous system beyond words. Watching musicians stretch and be pursuaded by the soaring invitation today reflex that imitable contribution of his genius. He raised the hairs, rippled the skin, ran rainbows up and down the spine and propelled toes to tap. Jumping into that feast in time transports the spirit. Just hearing evokes ...launching to explore and never the same. Jon Bonham left a gift to the ages. The whole band fantastic, and on his beat. Words are not enough.

I don’t play drums either and I don’t play a drummer on tv and I didn’t stay at a holiday inn express last night. Lol I’m a huge Zeppelin fan and Bonzo is awesome. The only other drummer that matches his ferocity is Bull Ward. Ward seems to get over shadowed. Listen to the Original Black Sabbath album and the paranoid album as well. Bonzo, Ward, and even Keith Moon are the last of those swingy jazz bluesy hard driven drummers. There’s really nothing more to say about Bonzo. Everyone knows how awesome he is. He’d be first carved on the Mount Rushmore of Drummers. Listen to the drums on Sabbath wooo man. 😮😮 have a nice day and listen to what makes you feel.

​@@joemomma3988I like your opinions sir

Bonham & Carey make my non-musician brain excited and electric like very few other drummers! ❤

Rock Gods*

Yes they did

Yes they absolutely 💯 did!!!!!!

It is mind blowing, mind blowing, that this band came out of, what Americans wouldnt look twice at. Blues. Also called or considered throw away music by young americans. "I had a dream, crazy dream, anything I wanted to know, any place I needed to go....I wanted to see Zeppelin more than anything. Then it happened, the unimaginable, April 1980 I think.

Jimmy Page hired who he thought would compliment him the best. Make no mistake Led Zeppelin was Jimmy's band. I guess John Paul Jones had a career prior to Zeppelin. But Plant and Bonham were virtually nobodies. Plant got Bonham in the band.

Bonham died 6 months before I was born, you are lucky to have seen them live. Sometimes I wish I was born two decades earlier. Thanks for sharing!

No need for apologies, I too get long-winded when talking about Zeppelin. People will often say Peart was the best rock drummer, but I vote Bonham...hands down! Neil was indeed a perfect drummer, and I might say the ONLY one that could fit in Rush. When we're classifying "rock" drummers, in my opinion there has to be a little dirt, a little grit, what Jones called the "stomp groove." Peart's style of playing is too clean and precise. I'm constantly reminded how John was too heavy-handed, with such a thunderous tone in every Zeppelin song. BULLSHIT!! Like the narrator, I play "Fool In The Rain," and walk away. I'll return and interrupt any, "Ya, but..." and play "Achilles Last Stand" to end the debate. I saw them in '75, Nassau Collesium, NY City. "Physical Graffiti" had not been released yet, but that didn't stop them from playing "Houses of the Holy," "Sick Again," and "In My Time of Dying." New songs from our favorite band? You're kidding us, right? They played for nearly THREE hours!! They have what they call "nodding songs," where a member can just start a jam and nod, follow this. I forget the song they started with, might have been "Whole Lotta' Love," in the middle of it there was a bit of a lull, and Plant started singing Rick Nelson's "Garden Party." Best band ever! Here's a party question for you: If you could see ONE last fantasy reunion concert of these 3, would you pick Zeppelin, The Beatles, or Elvis Presley?

@@philweeks8459 thanks for a great post. I’ve seen a ton of bands but not Zep. Only RP solo a few years ago. I’m jealous of you. I’m a lame ass drummer sitting in front of a red vistalite kit as I type I have often argued that Peart is number one and Bonham is number two. Hear me out. Peart lasted. That counts for something. He also played such a wide variety of percussion and was a physical baddass with speed, precision and nuance. Bonham on the other hand had such fluidity and speed belying great power. I love both bands and saw rush twice, which is not nearly enough, but appreciate the humor and self deprecation that rush out out while zep got self absorbed- though in a different time and who could blame them given their talent and god like status in rock. I’m rambling I know- but love talking about stuff like this. Both of us are right and neither of us are wrong in my mind. Here’s another one I like to argue. Greatest rock and roll song. Here’s my take. Number one- sympathy for the devil. In your face, questioning authority, jungle beat at the time rock was called jungle music. Number 2. Imagine. Same rebellion, same message, different delivery. Keep well.

@@steveb796 too bad you didn't see Page/Plant and the "No Quarter Tour" that was pretty awesome as well. And I'm going to agree with you by saying that yes, Peart is indeed a better percussionist than John Bonham. (I also liked your "no one is right or wrong" comment. I try to tell my friends the same thing. It's really all just a matter of opinion, right?) My point was when it comes to rock, there has to be a little dirt, slight mistakes if you like. Peart was PERFECT and didn't make mistakes which makes him the better drummer but not the better "rock" drummer. I get the longevity comparison. Kinda' hurt. Yep, two different lifestyles, groups, access to indulgence, etc...but I didn't like the shot. With that being said, indeed Rush lasted longer than Zeppelin, but who had more hits? Who sold more albums? Of the two, which had given more as an influence to rock as we know it? I also liked your greatest rock song debate. Hard to top "Sympathy" for all the reasons you listed AND more. Here's one I like to purpose on a first date, or party, etc... If there was a fantasy concert, of these 3 who would you most like to see... 1) The Beatles, 2) Led Zeppelin or 3) Elvis Presley? (Mind you, these are fantasy concerts and they're performing at their peak.)

@@philweeks8459 no disrespect meant on the longevity comment. Rush was a niche sound so comparing album sales is apples to oranges. Both great bands. And I get the grit factor for Bonham. As far as which I’d like to say more, that is tough. I’d have to go with Zep based on when I grew up, my tastes and I think they were probably the biggest wow factor for a live performance over the other two. Great question.

I’m still partial to Neil Peart, being the best, but John Bonham is right up there.

@@johnsmith2221. No offense but I find Neil boring. You could skip a few of Rush albums and not miss anything.

​@@gregrajab6085thats the big difference. Neil was technically sharp as a sushi knife. Bonham makes you wanna stomp your feet.

Not that Rolling Stone is the be-all-end-all, but they included every member of their band except Plant in the top 15 of best in the instrument, period. Both Bonham and Page in the top 2. Thats pretty insane.

​@johnsmith2221 im not shocked to see a rush fan here. Can you lot not shut up about Peart for 2 seconds

kind of the anti-WHO in some respects but very similar in others

Zeppelin couldn't open for Skynyrd. Skynyrd had a U. S. Marine for a drummer!!!! No taxation without representation!!!!!

They are all gods, John Paul is as filthy as the rest of em

They said he played drums like a guitar.

They were an great extremely talented band!

I mean, I like Led Zeppelin, but why should I give a shit who he does and doesn't trust?

AestheticBiker82 or what you think ;)

Fuck that's hilarious. It's like people who dont like chocolate.

Truth Be Told, There Will never Be Another Like The Almighty Led Zeppelin and Bonzo

PERFEKT,,,,,LOL..

And Plant was 18... un fkn real!!

Keith Moon : enters the chat

Best band ever.John is the greatest so talented n skilled player.The way he hits the drum's just sound so raw.Using only one pedal sounds like 10 of them.

He only played like an 8 year old girl.

There’s about 500 million Zep fans that would disagree with you, including me.

I am the same. I love all kinds of music and adore LZ as a band, but there's something about the way he played that always captures my attention. I listen out for his fills and they have the same effect on me hearing them for the 100th time as they did the first.

He had an incredible sense of timing (very important for a drummer), and he beat the skins with a ferocity that would make the most macho caveman cower!

Nickify For your health!!....

that and they lifted everything they put on vinyl ,,,, the band should have been called heavy fingers

Yeah...those 4 notes they used....what a shame. Who do you think of when you hear "Blue Suede Shoes"? Well....that's not his song. Who do you think got paid for it though? I guess Frank Sinatra wasn't such a good singer since he made money singing songs he didn't write himself.

Bill Russell The idea that bands can't sample is just nuts. Bands have been doing sense way before zeppelin was around and they will continue to do so. Led zeppelin took the music they "lifted" to a whole nother level.

Bill Russell... it's okay man... every honest dude admits that he got a little envious at seeing the legendary Plant sidepipe the first time. The difference is the rest of us don't let our penis envy delude us that they're a bad band cause they're the only ones to ever re-record a blues song, let alone doubting the fact that Zeppelin was arguably the finest lineup of musicians the world will ever see.

Will Hartley lies

The Moon Truth

It's too bad The Who didn't figure that out.

Could probably say that about every member of the band

I can't believe what Angus Young has been doing with that monstrosity he's dragging around the world and calling AC/DC. It's disgusting. Malcolm Young WAS AC/DC. More than anything else, his rhythm guitar is what made that band distinctive. Angus is a big enough name in the music industry to make it as a solo act. Why can't he just tour under his own name, write some new material and play shows that are a mixture of new songs and AC/DC songs? He has enough fans to pull it off. This way he could honor the band and give AC/DC fans what they want and still do both in a way that honors Malcolm.

Zep Leppelin?

@@danl.4743 Leddelin*

@l l Check out Greta Van Fleet playing live though. Particularly on SNL. They are very sloppy.

I was born in 1968. However, my parents had Led Zeppelin's albums. I can't say that I remember the music from back in the day, but I definitely know about their music today!!! I like the skill of other drummers, but I love and appreciate the skill John Bonham brought to his skins and accessories. His sound has always fascinated me. I have Pandora, KZfaq, and Google Play Music. I have inserted Led Zeppelin to all in one way, shape, or form. When I opened my Pandora account, the 1st "station" was Led Zeppelin. Thank you for posting this video.

So what they sound like zeppelin .maybe they were influenced by zeppelin did you ever think of that .

@David N Ah... the short answer is YES dick head. TOOL has written and performed better music than Led Zepplin.

In middle school I bought my dad a zeppelin greatest hits CD for Xmas. I heard the first song and immediately took the CD back.

The Beasties used a lot of Zep lol

I've never thought of him in those terms but makes sense. And I've always loved motown too. I think most folks in their 50s and 60s do.

NO! Not WAS. IS: according polyphonic.

Zep has always been a treasure trove for hip-hop, especially in the 80s and 90s.

Personally I think Bonham ruined that song not giving it a steady backbeat, the way the drums counter the riff In a weird way, I think page let him ruin that one cause he was jealous Jones wrote such a great riff

​@@wyrlismike dude the drums sound amazing this way

@@serbiansleeperagent the drum sound is amazing, the lack of a back beat isn't. To me anyway

The entire band revolved around Page's guitar licks. The songs were all dominated by memorable licks.

And Page could be a little sloppy. Maybe the weird timings evolved from that someone saying, "hang on, lets make that 'mistake' again. Black Dog is unbelievable that it could be designed this way from the very outset. Amazing.

@@Neilhoh3 Exactly. I 100% agree with you. People that actually do hate on Page use the excuse, "he's a sloppy player." But that's just his style. He's not sloppy, but instead a loose player, swaying in and out of the beat, and being the forefront of the sound.

Good drummers either play with the guitar or the guitar follows the drummer. Shit drummers follow the bass.

@@TheHyde8875 It´s not as simple as that you dimwit.

Keep on watching. :)

second you

Agreed. Polyphonic, please make it happen.

YEAH

Yes

Top three along with baker moon

hard work*

That's maybe 10 percent. They were a love band so they practiced their asses off. Bonham was gifted for sure but he also loved to play every hour in every stinking club.

That's what I was a tryin to say with all those words...

Yeah same here man!!!

Lucas Brito Not really tho. Just finished composed a song with my band the other day and one of the parts in the song my drum beat plays exactly like Bonham's in Kashmir in terms of beat and time signature. It's just a matter of perspective, really..if you count the beat simply as 6/8, 3/4 rather than 4/4 or 8/8, with alternating 1-2-3 pattern. Kick-Snare-Kick goes first, then follow by Snare-Kick-Snare. And repeat. Black Dog, now that's something out of this world.

Playing games with numbers. That's all this mental masterbation is all about. Stop it and PLAY !

Props to Jonesy. Glad you mentioned him. The guy is a class act and incredible musician. His bass playing on The Lemon Song still gives me chills and smiles every time I hear it. Zeps sum is greater than it's parts.

You know, I've noticed that myself, though I hadn't realized that it was because they just didn't see him as important enough. I just thought I missed newsy items about him over the years of my fanaticism. That's a sad, sad commentary for journalism!!! Do you know if Rolling Stone, at least, wrote extently about him with the others? I was much too young to follow them at that age. I enjoyed their music thanks to my parents! Along with Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, and more but I only really remember those two other bands. One for the faces on the album cover and the other for the music. Especially the Paranoid album. I didn't understand everything they were saying, but the music was great! Now, when I hear some of the songs, I really see how my parents let us be a little unsheltered. I greatly appreciate that. Even back then, I knew they were giving me a gift by not keeping us so sheltered. Don't get me wrong, outright bad was not allowed to happen to me or my siblings. We had a whole club protecting the li'l' kiddies ☺ Just good cleanish fun and a bit of openness of my parents lifestyle. And, one good dirty ditty!!! 😀 Anyhow, if you're still at this, thanks for reading! My all-time favorite rock N roll band is the best subject for my input! Led Zepplin Rocks!!! Too much? Oh, well. It happens.

I don’t consider him the weakest link in the chain and I don’t think anyone else did either. Jimmy set out to find the absolute best of the best and he found it in each of them. It was no accident and there was no weak link.

You have that right, Brother :D

NO ONE HAS ANSWERED THE QUESTION....LMAO

Gave me goosebumps reading your story....

I knew Zeppelin because Good Times, Bad Times was on the radio a lot, but I hadn't experienced Zep 4. A guy who was sort of a new friend of mine took me to his back yard, where there was a grove of bushes, and we climbed under there with his boom box, into a little clearing that was isolated on all sides. He pulled out a little pipe and asked if I wanted to smoke some pot, as it was often called back then. We hit the pipe and he fired up Zeppelin 4, and I've never been the same since. Thanks, Dan, you made me at least a little bit cool that day. That led to 38 years and counting of guitar playing, and enjoying the hell out of Zeppelin.

I was on a school bus in 5th grade when a 6th grade girl shared 4 with me. Black dog was the 1st thing I heard and I was sold.

@@sundaynightdrunk keep on rockin´

It kind of goes reverse sometimes though :) the first couple LZ albums were based hugely in blues. E.g. "Nobody's fault but mine" is a cover. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8WfZ9KeyZ64ZZc.html They were fantastic, but standing on the shoulders of giants!

I remember in high school people saying bottom wasn’t a great drummer I didn’t know all the details of what was going on just a moment he was the greatest now it’s proven true

And John Lennon.

do what they want YourWay. Be your original self, not a copy. i agree. When a drummer screws up a song, its dead. Others can stop or change people, volume, the song can still be salvaged. Drums are the heartbeat. No heartbeat no life. Dead.

Hitting something to make a sound is the most basic of instruments, probably the first instrument we used to make a sound.

Bonham is greatest player at putting soul and feel in it. And i think peart is the best at putting technicality in it.

As someone who knows what a triple paradiddle is, I can confirm this.

And that's why i'm in love with Gavin Harrison's playing 🎶

That’s sick!

Edward Lopez - Spot on; as a non-musician, all I could suss was that Zep, more than any othar band from the classic era, was doing interesting timing changes. It’s nice to get a full explanation with examples. Perhaps if I watch this a dozen times or so, the tutorials will sink in to the point of comprehension.

Although you comment was short, Edward, you are spot on/directly to the point. Most would have needed an extended paragraph to equal what you said.

And he was entirely self taught.

You need to listen to some James Brown son!

This is exactly what I told to myself after watching this video

Absolutely true. Jimmy Page said there was nobody who could replace what Bonzo could do. It just wouldn't work.

@Phantom Freeze Not in 1980 as he was only 14 and not ready to step into his fathers huge shoes. Zeppelin did the right thing by breaking up. I recently watched their 2007 concert and was really impressed with Jason on the drums. He was very very good.

His son, while not seeming to have that special Bonzo touch [yet] is still an admirable replacement, the band members are all uncles to him.

I couldn't of said it any better my friend!

@@marcoswilson1613 Yes, it's like a 10 min drum solo 🥁

@@thespursfan7564creatively they are very close but Bonhams technique was way above moons

"Somewhat fatigued" :p Good effort.

I'm in my 60's and back than I wondered...why not just get a new drummer? Now I know why. He was irreplaceable. RIP John.

@@Dyros55 They collectively said no one could do what Bonzo did. Any drummer who tries to keep up with him will tell you the same, save his son Jason who pulled it off big time!

@@Dyros55 I agree he was irreplaceable what an incredible drummer

Exactly, its like Rush not going without Neil Peart, who was better

@@harrisfoster1066 Except that Neil Peart and Rush were almost seventy years old when Neil passed away. I saw Neil play a high school with JR Flood in about 1970. Were you there?

Not exactly Zep, but Plant. And that's mainly because they were best friends, but yes, even though Page and JPJ wanted to give it a try, they probably knew that they couldn't really make it without Bonham.

The right decision. Brits are good at ending things at the point of diminishing returns, e.g. Colonialism, The Office.

Mate, I reckon Jason does a pretty good job picking up where his dad left off ...

John had been with Plant since Jr high Robert did not want another drummer!@

Kred Nevalga mitch mitchell wasn’t a slouch. A lot of the reason Hendrix records sound like they do is because his drummer was one of the greatest ever. Mitchell pioneered the “follow the guitar” drum technique they talked about in the video. Listen to manic depression. He was an animal.

@@Diogenes_43 No my friend what I was just saying is that "what if" Bonham and Hendrix got together tho. Not saying that Bonham is a greater combo than Mitchell for Hendrix. Though Bonzo is the king, yeh Mitchell revolutionize the follow the guitar formula coz they are the ones that opened the scene.

I agree Even Jimi couldn't compare to page and Bonham. There the ultimate duo

@@krednevalga1686 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6mWrMuY3KzVeps.html

Not to mention John Paul Jones was possibly the greatest rock band bass player of all time. If you study bass players you will hear why he was so great. He was like the Bonham of bass players. It's unbelievable how every member of Zeppelin could have been the star of any band they played in but they all ended up in this allstar band. It would be like having an open audition to the world for a singer, guitarist, bass player, and drummer and the winners formed a band. Pay attention to the details of what each is doing and you will understand. Sometimes I'll listen to Zeppelin and only focus on the bass, or just drums, or just guitar, or just vocals. To be honest Paige is the weakest member of the band and that's taking nothing away from him. He was and is a phenomenal guitarist and an all time great. That's just a testament to how truly magnificent the other three were at their craft.

leokimvideo OAR did I pretty great job with a cover of this song

you are correct

leokimvideo: It's just too bad that John Bonham and Keith Moon lost the fight against alcoholism. May they Rest in Peace.

yes

In reality..it was JPJ, listen carefully...

Eric Chappell listen to their live concerts. That’s where you can see Bonham as the driving force.

I saw Zeppelin live and in person in 77. They are all fantastic - yes bonzo was phenomenol, but I think JPJ was the glue.

As a guitar player, Jimmy Page is feckless compared to Eddie Van Halen.

@Possumlove Whatever man. I got into Zep when I was 14 at my penfriends house in France when Led Zep 4 came out. For a while I was focused on Stairway to Heaven, but when I got the album back in England, it was When the levee breaks that has held my interest because of the heavenly drums. Same with Since Ive been loving you. Bonham influenced a progressive rock band to produce blues and jazz riffs and because they were all so talented, they allowed themselves to embrace those styles,along with the gothic lyrics and power chords.

Good stuff. Dreaming about that 😉.

Where’s Frankfort? It doesn’t exist in Germany…I would think if you were stationed in the city of FRANKFURT you’d know how to spell it…

I have played best part of 60years, Buddy Rich I watched in concert and was blown away, Bonham for me brings another dimension to the table a true great.

Me too. Didnt know what i was listening to, haha

I know right? how is that possible? timeless.

same do I!

Kemet First I think it was Vanilla Fudge's drummer who also inspired John Bonham. The drummer for Vanilla Fudge was doing triplets.

Kemet First yip! Binham did change things up a lot, and made it his own. I love what Paccaro did with it too. I like reading posts of knowledgeable people. Not (Peart is the greatest drummer ever) He's done far better than most financially, but so has Lars, Peter Chris. Ah, shouldn't talk shit about other drummers, but I couldn't help myself

I'm a big fan of the funk rock of The Crunge as well, built out from Bonham and Jones' love of funk they even get Robert Plant to break out his best James Brown impression on the bridge!

Jimmi Page. Eric Clapton. Jeff Beck. Peter Green. John Fogerty. The list goes on. Hendrix wasn't any better than any of these guys. So what, he made a bunch of obnoxious bullshit noise with his guitar. A 5 year old could do that. No, Hendrix was put on a pedestal simply because he was a black man being backed up by two white boys at the height of the Civil Rights movement. That's all.

@@jameskinstle6874 For sure those guitar players are good, but not better than Hendrix and I'll tell you why. Jimi is considered one of the best because of what he did and when he did it. During the 60s we had Page, Clapton etc. They were pushing the limits of the guitar as far as they could. Hendrix did pretty much the same, but he did it better. Without Hendrix, a shit ton of kids would never buy a guitar and figure it out, for example, me. At his time there was nobody like him, nobody could pull off things Hendrix did. He was ahead of his time. It's about the emotion, man. He had a special touch and a special connection with music. Sure his stuff isn't that difficult to play, but it was wasn't easy to write. You clearly don't get the magic about his music and that's fine. Not everybody can.

That section is kinda sloppy, due to Jimmy Page rushing the beat one of the times they play it.

Thats because you're an idiot.

there was one bit where Jimmy was 1 beat out of time

yeah. i bet if they had pro tools they woulda fixed that shit.

Jimmy would've never fixed it. The reason being that he was sloppy on purpose.He was a session musician, you don't become a session by being sloppy. He actually hated being a studio musician and that's why he played like the wat he did.

For me, it would be: John Bonham (Drums) Jimi Hendrix (Guitar) “Flea” Bazalry (Bass) Freddie Mercury (Vocals) The best thing about these four is they’re all covered and talked about in this very channel.

I’d have Led Zeppelin

@@nicholascauton9648 Cliff Burton on bass

@@nicholascauton9648 me too! someone asked me about this last week and I chose the exact same 4 people

Imagine Freddie Mercury on vocals instead. Plant was the weakest link in the chain.

Ah I see what you did there

that is GOOD.

Sure was.

I always felt the drums should follow the guitar/ accent the guitar not the other way around...this is very difficult for drummers to do since it is generally accepted that the drums set the beat for a song. The catch is...the guitar....sings the song. When they are matched with one another such as this....well.....just listen

My sense was always that Bonzo was always a nanosecond behind Page and Jones, but always in time. It was an awesome skill.

Nailed it

Boston_guy 617 its time signature, if u dont play an instrument you probably wont have a clue

basically jimmy counted when to play what at a different pace than how john did. that's really hard for a band to do.

Here's my attempt at a noob's guide: Clap your hands in a steady tempo. Every clap is a beat. For simplicity's sake think of a beat as every time a sound can happen on each of the instruments. A drummer can hit something and a guitarist can play a note. Now if you want that classic Boom-Chuck-Boom-Chuck drum base you'll find in most modern music you need 4 beats (1: Boom, 2: Chuck, 3: Boom, 4: Chuck) - that's 4/4. If you go a bit back in time and want a simple waltz that'd be a Boom-Chuck-Chuck instead. But that's just 3 beats. Since we don't want to change our tempo this takes only 3/4 of the time to complete. So you got a 3/4 beat. Now, if you had two musicians playing at the same time, one in 4/4 and the other in 3/4, since they play at the same tempo, what they're playing would kinda lose contact with each other after the third beat because one plays 1-2-3-4 and the other plays 1-2-3-1 and then 1-2-3-4 vs 2-3-1-2 and 1-2-3-4 vs 3-1-2-3 - only then, after 12 beats, they'd briefly sync up again for a 1-2-3. 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 Hope that helps a little bit - and that you're even interested :D

you got it right man..don't think..feel...(bruce lee)

Music theory literally just goes over my head and I can’t understand a single thing!

In my time of dying is a master piece

Agree! It's all about the Purdie Shuffle in that drum set.

No, it's not underrated.

Veracruzano song ( Veracruz, México )

I think it‘s the middle part with the whistling that holds the song back....
