Davemarks Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Can't believe I forgot to mention this - the term 'one drop' actually refers to the fact that there is one kick drum played in each bar. That would be the kick which falls each time on beat 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 So, we're agreed? 1. If you can 'feel' it, you won't be counting it. 2. If you can't 'feel' it, you have to count it. 3. If you have to count it, you count with the accent/drop/kick on the 3. 4. The reason you count it so that the accent is on the 3 is that we have passed a resolution on these bass forums declaring so.

Your explanation makes much more sense! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
