The Dilla beat is really weird tbh. Bc you can either view it as quintuplets (which is cool) OR as like a sort of flam type note that comes after the “and” of each beat (which is also cool).
Glad folks are really warming up to different tuplets in swing. 5let swing is between a typical triplet swing and straight time. The first and second eighth note have a ratio of 3:2 in duration (triplet swing is 2:1 and straight time is 1:1). Higher tuplets get closer and closer to being 1:1; 7let swing is 4:3, 9let swing is 5:4, 11let swing is 6:5, etc. This sort of beat is close enough to familiar patterns that it's easily digestible; Andy is probably not consciously subdividing all the 5lets in his head, he's probably just feeling it. But there are absolutely practical applications of knowing the theory. I've played many a gig where the drummer couldn't consistently subdivide a 5let or 7let groove. At the very least, it's important to acknowledge that this groove is absolutely not a regular triplet swing.
you can play 11 lets as 7:4 too. ussually its easier to talk about swing in percentage. straight is 50%, triplet is 67% and quintuplet is 60%. septuplets are 57%, nonuplets are 56% and undecuplets(?) are either 55% or 64% depending on how harsh you swing. you could go above 66% for example an 8:3 in eleven would give you 72% but it isn't really that useful. sometimes going a little above 66% is cool but ussually it sounds off. what i really like is when you go below 50%. like 2:3 instead of 3:2 in quintuplet. (thats 40%) it creates a really uneven groove.
Yes. That is the time signature. The feel is quintuplet swing. It's the same as describing the feel of 4/4 Jazz as "swing" or "triplet swing". No one mentioned odd time signatures dog.

Higher triplets are amazing

Beep boop
Its just a quintuple swing, its still a 4/4 groove
it's just swing
That's what I thought
also, where's the app? it doesn't exist on the app store
Oh shit
Aka swing?
seriously lmao
yes and no
This is quintuplet swing, which means the swung note is played in between swung and straight. it's not quite swing and not quite straight.
Just swing lol relax
Quintuplet swing, which sounds freshier and different from triplet swing. Still cool, hard or not
quintuplet swing, yes there are diff type of swing ratios out there even tho it sounds nerdy
it's just 3 times with a shuffle, it's not that deep
Boy howdy does it sound disgusting to a click
This is just swing... this is incredibly easy to play
Yeah it's swing but this guy is a beast. Simple pattern but amazing drummer.
Florent Chardevel Eh, still a simple beat
Dude it's quintuplet swing, I swear, there aren't many drummers who can play quintuplet grooves like this one
Márton Kardos Lmao what,
I have a feeling at least 90 percent of you guys commenting about how easy it ia to play this, haven't even got an idea about what a quintuplet is
This is literally 4/4
Nobody is disputing it being in 4/4
This is 4/4 lol
