Members Funkee1 Posted September 3, 2007 Members Posted September 3, 2007 Not Aston Kuycher Punked, and not Prison- rape Punked either!!!!! No, i played a gig with a Jazz and blues singer I have worked with for aout 10 years. We played at a big outdoor festival, and the drummer sucked!!!! He had never worked with her before, but he did an adequate job of holding down the groove. She seemed to be happy with him, even though I was struggling. The guy sounded like a reall good Middle school drummer!!! So anyway, we go to do the closing number, where swhe introduces us, and lets everyone take a solo. I start my solo, and iy's going well, when suddenly, homeboy reverses the beat!!!!:mad: The pocket collapsed, and so I'm out there with everyone's eyes on me.....

Moderators Kindness Posted September 3, 2007 Moderators Posted September 3, 2007 #1 - that sucks. #2 - what does "reverse the beat" mean? I'm fairly fluent in music terminology, but I haven't heard that one.
Members bleepo Posted September 3, 2007 Members Posted September 3, 2007 ...he lost the one basically!

Members bassred Posted September 3, 2007 Members Posted September 3, 2007 #1 - that sucks.#2 - what does "reverse the beat" mean? I'm fairly fluent in music terminology, but I haven't heard that one. Listen to the Allman Brothers 'One way out, when the whole band comes bak in after the slide solo, the drummer (or sombody) is off and the beat is reversed.... They pull it ff, though, but any band that plays it true to the original live would be laughed at...by me a least......
Members Brother Mango Posted September 3, 2007 Members Posted September 3, 2007 #2 - what does "reverse the beat" mean? I'm fairly fluent in music terminology, but I haven't heard that one. My first experience with 'turn the beat around' was a positive thing. I was a disco hit song. (Here's some happy lady dancing to the original.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKQqyqBCNi0 Gloria Estefan covering Then, Reggae has been described as having turned the beat around: accenting 2 & 4 instead of 1 & 3. Finally, I thought someone was giving me a compliment by saying, "I thought you were about to turn the beat around." He was really saying that he thought I'd lost the 1 and was about to put it somewhere else--as opposed to just being lost and knowing where to wait for the 1. Is there a true, technical definition for turning the beat around?(Seems that the definition was posted whilst I was typing my question)
Members Brother Mango Posted September 3, 2007 Members Posted September 3, 2007 I wish he had been a little less "jazzy". Maybe he's looking at you, wondering why you didn't adjust to his very obvious reggae moment.
