@timbofromkeno and @bigfatsnaredrum are having an instagram contest and I decided to enter. The track you play along with is over 16 minutes long, but you don’t have to play the entire thing.
Something in the track reminded me of a groove I tried to use in my college senior recital but never ended up using. It’s a set of four 7/8 measures followed by four 8th notes, giving you 32 beats. It’s then played over four bars of 4 so it sounds a bit off but always turns around every four bars. You’ll hear it come and go on this. At one point coming out of that I messed up and got off the beat, but it sounded good anyway, so I left it in. That happens at just after the 2 minute mark and then you’ll see me pause a second and drop back onto the regular beat (I had a click in my ear) at around 3 min in.
Overall it was a really fun track to do.
