It's a perfect example of playing behind the beat. Quite tricky.[/quote]

I didn't know that tune, but to me that bassline is just killer - great example! Whereas I've always felt a bit ambivalent about the Meters stuff though they do groove uniquely...covering Cissy Strut should be banned since no-one EVER nails the feel.

Alex the drummer who plays live with Dizzee Rascal is just great at controlling the nuances of timing around a beat. He's fun to play with because his timing makes you feel like you're a better player!
