Music Lesson: Hip Hop Drum Patterns in "The Dog"

In the hip hop piece "The Dog," there are a couple of things I just want to draw your attention to because it's quite an unusual drum part that's been written.

Bar One: Half Time Feel

  • The first bar has one snare on beat three, which creates a half-time feel.
  • Normally, snares are on beats two and four, but when there's only one snare, we call it a half-time feel.

Demonstration

  • To demonstrate:

    1. Normal groove: Snares on 2 and 4.
    2. Half-time groove: Snares reduced to just beat three.
  • I changed the bass drum as well, as moving only the snare wouldn't yield the same feel. The half-time approach has a whole different feel.

Bar Two: Groove Revolution

  • By the second bar, it feels like the groove has turned on its head:

    • Snare on beat one.
    • Snare on beat three.
    • Bass drum on beat two.
  • This keeps us on our toes; we can’t relax too much because of all these changes.

Bar Three: Hi-Hat Fill

  • The third bar resembles the first bar, but there's a hi-hat fill in the fourth bar of the first line that we need to watch for:
    • I instinctively want to play on beat three, but there's a rest there, so I'm trying hard not to.

Execution

  • Observe the rest and come in with a bass drum on beat four.

  • Here’s how it sounds:
    1, 2, 3, 4.

  • It feels a bit strange having a quarter note rest after two eighth note hi-hats and then a bass drum on beat four, but it's good practice to tackle challenges.

Line Two: Moving Away from Half-Time

  • In the second line, we have:

    • A heavy bass drum playing on beats 1, 2, and 3.
    • Hi-hat with snare on beat four.
  • This means we're losing the backbeat on beats two for these bars.

Snare Fill

  • There’s a snare fill halfway through bar three leading into bar four.
  • I’ll play the whole line for you so you can hear it.
  • For the snare fill, I favor Right, Left, Right, Right, Left, Right.
  • I’ll play both hi-hats with the right hand, as they lock in well with the bass drum.

Line Three: Return to Funk Elements

  • You might think we’re leading into a bass drum with a hi-hat on beat one of the third line, but we are not.
  • The bass drum is on beats two and four for the first two bars.

Funk Influence

  • This kind of feel is often heard at the beginning of funk or disco tunes.

  • To demonstrate without moving too far from this piece:

    • A drummer might play 16th notes on the hi-hat at the start of a solo funk tune, with the bass drum on beats 2 and 4.
    • Example: 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • Many hip hop drumming techniques originated from funk and soul tunes, with drummers from those pieces often sampled in hip hop.

Continuation and Conclusion

  • When we reach the third bar of the third line, we reintroduce the snare on beat four.
  • Bar four of the third line remains the same.

Final Line

  • In the last line of this piece, there’s a more conventional drum groove, involving eighth notes on the hi-hat.
  • The snare returns to its normal place on beats two and four, with bass drums alternating between quarter notes and eighth notes.

Last Bar

  • The last bar starts with a half note rest, occupying the first half of the bar, so count through to hit beats three, the end of three, and four in the right place.

  • Here’s how the last bar sounds:
    1, 2, 3, 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.

  • There are three snares in a row. You can play them differently; I choose to go to the hi-hat.

Sticking Pattern

  • I will play the snares Right, Left, Left, leaving my right hand free to play the hi-hat on the last note.
