Grooves you're currently obsessed with?

[Kronos]

You know, a groove that just won't go out of your head, and you drum it all the time, in your head, on the desk at work/school, and as soon as you sit behind your kit you have to do it again..

Currently, mine is "Fair Judgement" from Opeth's Deliverance album


what's yours?

[DxRocker]

the steve gadd lick, but in 3's instead of 4's :D

it's one hell of a bitch to play

[Kronos]

I don't know what that is, either in 3s or4s...


/feels uninformed :upset:

[The Chemist]

days of new by lagwagon... such a beautiful song

[Jezen]

Benny Greb's drum n bass grooves. Theres one in particular that I have stuck in my head from the second Meinl Greb vid.

[DxRocker]

I don't know what that is, either in 3s or4s...

The L's and R's at the bottom show you wich hand is playing what (basicaly all the snare hits are done with the left, except for the accent on the third quarter, wich is done with the right). It is actually based on the diddle RLR RLL. You don't have to view it this way as 8th triplets though, that's all up to you. Could be 16th triplets as well off course.

For the same lick in 4's, you play the exact same thing as tabbed above, but you do 2 hits on every L instead of only 1.

To make it sound like Gadd does is quite... eum... fukked up :lol:

he does this sooo fast, it's unbelievable. Very cool fill though when played for a bar or 2-3

nice one - thanks Dxrocker. I love linear grooves.

[DxRocker]

^haha, who doesn't right? :cool:

[FockerTheLopper]

50 ways to leave your lover... Not quite sure if I'm playing it right because I never directly read it or played along but it sounds just about right.

[Sthrudel]

Love those 6/8 grooves. I seem to be deeply in love with 6/8 at the moment - is it a phase, or is it permanent?

[breakster]

6/8 > 4/4

when ever i hear a cool song these days it seems to be in 6/8. sounds original because it isnt done that often but it doesnt sound weird.

[Arpanet]

I <3 6/8

Speaking of which, "Whipping Post" by the Allman Brothers Band.

[Aaron]

Take 5! 5/4 ride patterns are so beautiful to play..

[Sick-O]

Hehe Alien Ant Farms "Summer" ...don't ask me why but i'm in love with Mike Cosgrove...

[poppinfresh]

Benny Greb's drum n bass grooves. Theres one in particular that I have stuck in my head from the second Meinl Greb vid.

For me, anything a black man would play.

[Sick-O]

^^ I've seen David Banner play drums before.......

"Squib Cakes" from Tower of Power (David Garibaldi) it's easy, but it's catchy

[officer doofy]

...hmm... ...hmm...

John Scofield Band - Thikhathali

...

Some time ago it was RHCP - Breaking the Girl. Well it still is a nice 6/8 groove with that tom triplets.
had that same one a few months ago, now it's a modified version of "ashes in the fall"-RATM ^^^squibb cakes is a classic, one of the first things my current teacher taught me, if thats easy for you, learn tower of power, its more challenging.

[-Funky monk-]

Ever RHCP beat!!! They're in my mind!!!

[Quickdrop]

[dumbassdrummer]

Fool In the Rain
Out on the Tiles
Trampled Under Foot

[Maggot Dream]

I've been getting into David Garibaldi recently, he has some great grooves.

Home by Dream Theater is another one I've been listening to frequently.

[Jezen]

It's funny that nobody has mentioned the poly-groove from Eulogy.

Poppinfresh - The groove is very much in a drum n bass style.

[Music rockS]

Behind the Wall of Sleep outro groove rocks everything.

[Bone]

There is this vertical groove that I always see after talking to this one girl...

Hate to see her go. Love to watch her walk away.

[tapioca]

"1979" - Smashing Pumpkins (Jimmy Chamberlain)

haha, I remember when I was beginning, and when I was deeply in love with the pumpkins, I just couldn't get that beat out of my head. I was like constantly playing it, great song.

[Aaron]

me too. i still am actually. how much is it the biggest come-down song, haha.. back on track, its actually a pretty good all round groove to throw in there. i use it in church and in *shudders at the term* breakdowns in heavier songs.

[Det_Nosnip]

Lately, I can't get this sticking out of me....I'm constantly playing it, whether it's at work on anything I can find (most popular choice: ice bucket), or on the set.

[Aaron]

^ snare over kick i guess?

[Kronos]

What a great tune, such tasteful playing.
Cool - glad we agree Jim. I'm not saying I play it as well as Mr Lopez, but I'm trying my best! :p

[breakster]

theres a poly-groove in eulogy?

[Jezen]

^^^
You claimed all this time that you would die for me
Why were you so surprised to hear your own Eulogy


Listen to what he does with his hats.

[Murd_666]

Home by DT and Bleed Black by AFI

[Sthrudel]

haha, I remember when I was beginning, and when I was deeply in love with the pumpkins, I just couldn't get that beat out of my head. I was like constantly playing it, great song.Yeah me too. My favourite was Geek usa. Drumming on that song is so perfect, you can't change anything period. I was constantly playing that snare intro.

I so dig Jimmy's playing, especially his snare work. His playing is so tasteful...

[Flamer]

i´m just always doing triplets with hands and feet.. example FLRFLRFLR and making it flow.. for example the end of "A Song For The Dead" with Queens Of The Stone Age.. so simple but so cool

[breakster]

^^^

will do. im off to find the cd

[breakster]

Well the beat itself is not a polyrhythm, but it does form a plyrhythm with the guitar. i dont know if that what you meant...

oh i see. i never realised the other rhythm on the hihat. thats cool.

[Det_Nosnip]

Yes, it's a polyrhythm. The hi-hats are opening in 3 over a 16th note 4/4 groove.

^ snare over kick i guess?

*shrug* you can do whatever you want with the feet...that is just a sticking for the hands (F= flam, sorry if that was unclear).

[Jezen]

Ooohh I thought it was a hats, snare, and bass groove with the F meaning foot. Like this:

HH|----x---x-x---x-|--x-x---x-------|

[Bone]

Tony Williams on 'Snake Oil'. Great groove.

[Sthrudel]

Tony Williams on 'Snake Oil'. Great groove.Yeah very catchy song. Simple four on the floor, yet so groovy. Did I say simple?

[Rayne264]

the verse in korn's "falling away from me". its a simple beat, but for some reason i just love playing it.

[crumbface230]

fool in the rain - led zeppelin.. im always playing that with my fingers at school.

[officer doofy]

i love threads like this, its always fun to learn some sweet new grooves.
I also like QOTSA's song for the dead, especially after 2:50.

[charlie lokz]

Hey How About Samba Sound Great Man Or Off Beats Man They Wont Get Out Of You Head Man

[Futuro]

There is this vertical groove that I always see after talking to this one girl...

Hate to see her go. Love to watch her walk away. Made me crack up :lol:

Sound of muzak - Porcupine tree
St.Augastine in hell - Sting

[Aaron]

welcome to D&P. thanks for confusing me.

[keeferz]

OMG, me too. I have been listening to that song non stop lately.
It might not be anything overly fancy, but damn does it rock!

:D

[ilikenoise]

my own take on shuffles.

[innerlo2]

At the moment (at work) I'm listening to AFI's "Sing the sorrow" there is a lot of nice drumming on there. I had forgotten how much I liked this album.

[Kronos]

I have to admit, I'm going through a serious Opeth phase at the moment - if it ain't Fair Judgement it's Windowpane, or Death Sings A Lullaby


so cool and darkly jazzy :cool:

[alexmonty12]

The one I'm always tapping on my knees at school is the Know Your Enemy Intro

It's just:

H|-x-x---x-x---x-x--x--0-|
S|-------o----------o----|
B|-o---o---o-o----o---o--|

That's a bit rough, but you get the idea of it

[White Riot!]

Im obsessed with four to the floors

[slickrick1688]

The end of hells kitchen is always buggin me when i play:p But it is such a fun song to play.

[TobyChrist]

A pretty simple groove im obsessed with is the intro to Act III by TSOAF. On the more complicated side ive been chillen to billy cobhams work on mahavishnu orchestra. so amazing.

[uncleremus]

Bonham's Fool in the Rain...........both the groove and the fill , I think it's interesting where he was going just before his death.

[Kronos]

The end of hells kitchen is always buggin me when i play:p But it is such a fun song to play.
Ha ha - this month's Rhythm magazine has that song on the play along CD, and it's written out inside as well. One word - scary! I've never seen so many notes written on a sheet of drum music...

Respect for playing that one dude!:thumb:

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Variations of Paradiddles that I recently discovered.

I'm obsessed.

But, I can use them when trying to come up with Drum Parts for Band songs.

[Fuzzy]

Entirely Coheed and Cambria.

Josh Eppard is fecking AMAZING!

Current favorite "groove" (whole song) "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" that and the intro to "Time Consumer"

[3rdplanet]

I keep playing the intro bit from Beneath the Mire, but I make it sound like poo compared to the original.

[spirit]

I recently went to see a UK indie band called Mystery Jets. You may have heard of them. They have a Myspace if anyone's interested. The intro to the song "Zoo Time" keeps running through my head. It's hypnotic. Not hard, or particularly innovative, but it mesmerises.

Also, rediscovered Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body". Solid groove. Haven't got it down yet, but I'll get it.

Believe me when I tell you this, but from my experience paradiddle grooves work exceedingly well with irish folk music.

[spirit]

Im obsessed with four to the floors

That too. I'm into the whole indie four to the floor, disco hats thing. Sounds cool. Great for dancing.

[Det_Nosnip]

People can say whatever they want, but that man (and his band) do groove pretty hard. Alot of his stuff is really cheesy, though.

[Det_Nosnip]

Not the same thing. Similar, I suppose, but not the same.

[spirit]

Not the same thing. Similar, I suppose, but not the same.

No, definately not the same thing. I like it all the same though.

People can say whatever they want, but that man (and his band) do groove pretty hard. Alot of his stuff is really cheesy, though.

Most of those kind of artists do. It's a real challenge to do that well, and honestly, I don't think I could yet. Yet.

[King]

A mixture of Prod by Mudvayne, and Lateralus by Tool.
