Time is Tight by Booker T and the MGs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUGsZgkjrco
It's an old relic (1969) we spontaneously jammed last night. In the playback it felt like the drums were wrong, so I checked up the original ...
The way I'm hearing it, at the beginning he's playing 8ths on the hats and quarters on the kick and snare ... and as the verse progresses he gradually raises the snare volume. In the second progression he starts accenting beat 3.
Then there's the change and I'm okay after that. A very subtle approach that creates a slow cooking sense of build.
Am I hearing it right? Just checking my ears ...
