Members Living Dead Drummer Posted February 4, 2003 Members Share Posted February 4, 2003 anyone else here notice that when a self proclaimed "drummer" says "im really into Tribal Beats" it is just a cover for saying "I think im a drummer, but I have NO {censored}ing clue how to play" I seem to come accross that a lot with some people I have met over the years...

Members Boodashiggy Posted February 4, 2003 Members Share Posted February 4, 2003 Well, Danny Carey is the king of "tribal beats" as you say and he can outplay 99.9% of drummers on this planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wouldn't go quite as far but yeah, he's a great drummer and has taken the whole tribal beat thing to another level. As for some garage level nu-metal drummers...well, they'll learn...hopefully...eventually...mormones...big hippo...why are we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't met anybody like that, but I have heard the term "tribal" used to describe patterns with a distinctive African or "jungle" feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Destructobot Posted February 4, 2003 Members Share Posted February 4, 2003 Makes me think of all toms, maybe a snare with the strainer off, maybe chicking the quarter with the hats, and just sorta rolling along with some triplet feel going.

Members Liverneck Posted February 4, 2003 Members Share Posted February 4, 2003 A lot of people clump many styles to gether to be what they call 'tribal beat'. Hip Hop seems to do this the most. It could have an African, samba, salsa or calypso influence behind the groove, but because there are a lot of toms played or the snare cracks on an off beat, people chalk it up as tribal. Like Sepultura, some of their tunes start off with a samba (they're Brazilian). A friend of mine heard that and said "Dude, awesome tribal beats". I told him it was samba and he was like "That's what i said, tribal". They just don't know the difference. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
