Drums for "The New Pollution" by Beck: Beat 3

JOEL SIEGEL: All right. So we got our--beats one and two are pretty straightforward. So now, we're getting into beat three. It's where it's gets a little trickier. For this beat you have--similar to "When the Levee Breaks," you have it in your anticipation of the downbeat of three. So you have that like sixteenth note upbeat at the very end of two, it's pushing right up against beat three. It's the uh of two, two-e-and-uh, okay? Listen to what I'm playing and you'll hear it. Okay? Slowing it down, it's--okay? That's what's going on with the hands as you got the eighth notes here and so on beat two you're playing was--you know, if you're playing with one drum, it would be called flam, and then you have that sixteenth note kind of towards the end. So if for whatever reason you're having a hard time breaking this part of the beat down, kind of all of beat two, if your hands can do this--all right? If they you can do that, you can just put your hands back, right to where they were and then it breaks up the sound, and that's all that's happening mechanically. Okay? So once you get that down; that's probably the hardest part of the beat. So join us for the next clip and we'll talk about the next one.
