Either keep up, or get left back.

I am all about musical progress....its just kind of difficult to dance to a song in an odd meter...thats all.

Did you find "6/8 Drumz" weird, Dolomite?

**Dolemite73** · 09-30-2003, 10:15 AM

ahhh...but 6/8 is stil a derivative of 2/4....

6/8 drumz is hot but yes weird...

most people in the states dance in a 4/4 pattern... as soon as you change that up, you lose most of the floor... I've seen it happen time and time again.

Dolemites statement made perfect sense.

HUH? [/QUOTE]For me, it would be hard...not saying that about everyone....you get used to that 4 on the floor beat.....

Isn't it 3/4, like a sped-up waltz?

**Dolemite73** · 09-30-2003, 10:19 AM

nope.....that would be 9/8...and 12/8 would be the equivalent of 4/4....just with a triplet feel.....

Did we just pass over the early 80s when Luther Vandross came out with "Bad Boy" and Cheri's "Murphy's Law"?

There's really no difference in dancing to an uptempo 6/8 pattern and an uptempo 4/4 rhythm pattern.

Other than the "swing" feel of the 6/8 pattern, there's no adjustment to the time signature as far as the down beat goes.

You know this...

To further my point... how many people in a club can "really" dance? And we're talkin about all types of clubs, from hard house to deep... some maybe, but most grew up on club culture and similar music (4/4 based), not the 80s references you made. (think wide scale exposure and today's club culture/youth)

So again, the floor/dancers of THIS time are used to a 4/4 patter, and again if you change that pattern you just lost alot of your floor.

Think outside your own circle of experiences/knowledge to a more general point of view. I think you'd be surpriseed.

Slow down "Bad Boy" and compare it to Alicia Key's "Falling", or do the opposite by speeding up "Falling".
