Full Drum Intro for "I Can't Help Myself" by the Four Tops

Video Transcript

JOEL SIEGEL: All right. So our intro, remember the beat is just those kind of kick and hi-hat with the feet. You just got that interplay: one, two, and three, four, and one, two, and three, four, and one. Okay. So I'm going to play--I'll reiterate, it's six bars. The intro is like kind of an odd--slightly odd phrasing. But it's six bars to that beat and then the last two beats of the six bar, bar three and four--sorry beats three and four, we're going to play that Motown fill, that classic Motown fill. So I'm going to slow it down here to 110. And here's the full intro with the fill at the end. So here it is: one, two, three, go. Okay? So go ahead--and just one more time we'll do it. We'll take it back up to speed. This is 122. It's where the recording is. So here's the intro with the fill. One, two, one, two, ready, go. All right, so there it is. There's your intro to "I Can't Help Myself" with that classic Motown fill.
