![]() To me the drums have no cycle of 4, it's a "double time" beat, a cycle of 2īut I can see where people are getting the 4 from in the vocals - there is 4-beat repetition in the vocalsīut I would still say the song has a cycle of 22. It takes away a little personality but keeps the song tight. We wound up just deciding that we should play it to the click, speed up the pauses just a bit. But we also did it evenly as a band for the past year, every time we played it, all together. We always hold out one of them in a subtle way and discovered that we couldn’t find a way to program the section! The timing we were used to, especially me as the drummer, didn’t sync up with the a tempo that made sense, it wasn’t a countable number of beats. ![]() It’s very Suffocation, for any death metal fans out there. We hit this one transition that has these odd pauses. It’s a process of playing a riff, figuring out the comfortable tempo and time signature, setting it in Reaper, then playing along to it until there’s a change and doing it again. Last week, we were going through a song and programming the click track. We play live without a metronome but we record with one. A band gets used to the timing and they do it because it sounds cool and feels right, time signature and tempo be damned. “That’s definitely not what they actually played,” all over the album. ![]() I have a good friend who recently did a set of And Justice for All songs who encountered it and told me at the time. Things like this are found throughout the early Metallica tab/notation books. It’s especially funny knowing about Lars reputation as a drummer. ![]()
