Well, if you think so. Compared by a grid, it doesn't suit as well as 8ths. All other offbeat 8ths fall closer to straight 8ths. And it's exactly how I want it to be.
There are 3 kinds of people:
Those who can do maths and those who can't.

I think it would be more correct to say that "swing sometimes gets taught to the particulary dim by the particularly lazy as triplets with a hole in the middle".

A bit like polos.

BY grid?? Maybe by this justification it is true, but I'm only going by ear and what sounds best to me, this is when I throw theory out the window. BTW to clarify I am speaking of the 1 and 3 of the triplet being played/

I know which pattern you were speaking about. And I don't give a damn about grids either, just that in this case the grid comparison is backing up what I hear as well.

okay, now for me the introduction of the changes on the the 2nd, 3rd and 4th parts is very static and throws off the groove...:shrug:
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

I think it was meant to be, It was only showing different grooves that would stick out like a sore thumb, at least thats what I figure.

Yeah, exactly. I was just trying to show that neither triplets nor straight 8ths would fit. But, using 8ths I would at least be able to write a proper sheet.

If this is passion then I summise that you don't need passion in music.

Despite, or maybe because of the elevated noise floor, there's more hard musical knowledge in this thread than in most of the rest of the place put together.

Why do you bother?

I can think of better ways of wasting time. You could hire a prossie, f**k her or him without a nodder, get aids, then waste lots and lots of your time fighting it.

Or you could have a wank.

Or you could eat some pretzels.

Or you could play chess with yourself.
