Week 13 7th - 10th December

This week we looked at Back Beat Displacement - which is just a fancy way of saying that we're messing around with the back beat (the snare drum bits) within a groove.

The first groove we looked at was a 2 bar - quarter note groove displacing the back beat by an 8th note in the middle of the groove.

Here is the mp3 of Groove 1

We then developed this groove by adding bass drum beats to the first bar.

Here is the mp3 of Groove 2

We then looked at a slightly more complex version using displaced 16th notes.

Here are the mp3s of Groove 3 at two different speeds.
