Hey Flint!

And all y'all.... of course.



I love this song. I have listened to it countless times. I find myself unable to reliably hit the beat you're hearing from the hi-hat. I have tried counting...


1...2...3...4AND1...2...3...4AND1...2...3...4
AND
1...2...3...4AND1...2...3...4
AND
1...2...3...4AND1...2...3...4
AND
1...2...3...4AND1...2...3...4.....


I tried counting on the very first beat Nina starts with, tapping her foot, putting the "AND" between 2 and 3, but it really feels like it belongs between 4 and 1.

This counting represents a bit of a breakthrough for me. I initially was going to ask about syncopation, in the thread you referenced up there ^^^, but that search revealed this thread which is better suited to my question. Having reread this thread, I think Nina's performance is in 4/4 time, at a moderate tempo. That goddamn, brilliant hi-hat though... I could not corner it.

I guess I don't have an actual question anymore... but please enjoy Nina's performance.
