Another take on Seven

lundi 20 avril 2015

Bill Ray's thread on 7 against 4 got me to thinking about this. And rather than throwing out any definitions, I thought it better to just play it.

Here's a pattern in 7 broken into 3-2-2, where the hands play R-r-l_r-l_r-l (accent on the 1st beat) and the feet play the same. After 4 cycles of this, the hands go into double time for 8 cycles then triple time for 12 and then work back down to single speed in a pyramid. The feet remain constant.

This one is a little rougher. The feet play the same pattern as in the 1st video and maintain it at a constant speed. The hands play the same pulse as in the 1st video (3-2-2) but it's voiced between the snare and hi-hat and phrased as: 1st half of a double paradiddle followed by a full single paradiddle. R-l-r-l-r-r-L-r-l-l-R-l-r-r. Then the sticking reverses. It's put through the same mini-time pyramid as above.

I apologize for the cluttered notation. Just note that the non-highlighted "A" sections represent the 1st video and the yellow highlighted "B" sections represent the 2nd video. Again, the feet are constant throughout. (There's a typo in the "feet" section of "A3" where I write the 2nd bass drum note below the line. It should be written above the line, like the previous feet lines).
