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

JOEL SIEGEL: All right. So we've got all the parts of our beat. We know that our hi-hat and our snare is steady, and then we've got that slight variation in the kick, the downbeat of one and then three-and, four-and. Okay?

It's a nice classic sound, and it really fits nicely with that classic Motown fill. Just to wrap up, I'll give you that beat, add tempo again. Here's what it sounds like. All right? There you go. You got a classic Motown beat to add to your palette.
