Sonic Youth “Kool Thing” isolated drums

Подробнее о видео

what is this called? 🤷‍♀️ sonic youth’s steve shelley plays this fill 20 times in 1990’s “kool thing”…but is there a name for this 3+3+3+3(+4 or 2+2) pattern? we hear it in phil collins “in the air”; its also the bassline from melle mel’s “white lines” (& liquid liquid’s “cavern”); the “morse code’ pattern in the break on bowie’s “starman”; and its also in the harmonized guitar solo at the end of “hotel california” by a band whose name escapes me…going back a little farther, Ringo plays it a bunch on his only real drum solo, in the final moments of the last-ever Beatles recording, 1969’s “The End”; Ringo said his solo was in turn inspired by Ron Bushy's use of that same pattern in Iron Butterfly’s 1968 side-filling hippie freakout classic "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” (the same year Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell used it in "Crosstown Traffic")…YT commenter @camh5048 pointed out an earlier use in 1965's "Shotgun" by Junior Walker, as played by Motown Funk Brother drummer Benny Benjamin...lets keep building the connections in the comments, this is great! but in the mean time, theory experts & percussionists: what would u call it? is there a bell pattern, clave, or korvai naming this pattern? something about 3 against 4 polyrhythm maybe; or something to do with a double tresillo; or a hemiola…or perhaps “the Phil”?! ✨On the latest One Song podcast we break down the stems & stories behind “Kool Thing” by Sonic Youth #sonicyouth #drums #musictheory #percussion
