erm.. surely it'd be three-to-the-floor in 3/4 time? more to the point,
why do the rhythmic elements in supposedly innovative tracks have to use
the equivalent of kick drum, snare, hi-hats etc. ? Given a sampler, why do
99% of artists restrict themselves to imitating real world forms of
percussive instrumentation? It's like getting one of those expensive new
modelling synths and wanting a piano sound out of it.
