amazing beat typical for lopez

^it is somewhat difficult to understand in a forum type discussion. send a private message to kotno or something. he may have trouble translating into english but he knows his shit.
 
It may be easier if you guys count it like:
for 3/4 time, 1 & 2 & 3 & you say and out loud to signify the up beat. basically tap your foot to that, the numbers are when you hit the floor, the and is when your foot is in the air. Thats what they teach you in school.
In 6/8 the feel is different.
1 & uh 2 & uh with the numbers getting the downbeat.

that any easier to comprehend?
 
I'll make this easy for all of you. It's not a difficult beat, it doesn't matter how you break it down, whether it be in 4/4 triplet feel, 3/4, or 6/8...the point of it is that it is synchopated ....ie emphasising notes that are usually quiet. Here it is for those of you who can read standard notation (learn if you can't). For the sake of simplicity I left out ghost notes that Lopez employs on the off beats on the snare (which further provides synchopation). Enjoy.
