OK, I'm not a drummer, so please excuse the noobie character of the questions.
1) If you have a basic beat, say a basic rock beat, kick on 1 and 3, snare on 2 and 4, hi-hat playing 8th notes. Then suppose say the fourth bar is anticipated by an 8th note. Imagine that the melody and the rhythm of the tune are anticipated. Maybe it is even where the hook of the tune is. Now what is a drummer going to do there on the 4& of bar 3? Just put the kick early an 8th? Or kick and snare together on that 4&? And what is he going to put on the 1 of bar 4?
2) Similar kind of question. Suppose you got the same beat. Then imagine that there are some emphatic quarter note triplets. Again imagine a hook or sub hook again maybe on the 4th bar. Kick and snare and hat all together on the quarter note triplets?
I'm sure lots of things are possible, but what would be the most standard moves. Imagine an upbeat James Taylor song. Something like that.
Thanks
