Chad Smith Groove
At the Musicians Institute, where I teach, students play in what are called Live Playing Workshops (LPWs). This past week, Tell Me Baby was the song to be performed. So....I worked on it with some students. Here's how I heard Chad Smith's part.
|
First, here's the (relatively) basic groove.
|
Now, adding an accent on the downbeat, in the hi hat
|
And lastly, the open sound in the HH, on the downbeats. I think that Chad's getting this sound by playing 8th notes with his HH foot and really smashing the HH to get the open sound. This is reminiscent of Harvey Mason's HH on Chameleon by Herbie Hancock, although Harvey's sound was much more subtle. Chad's is more smashing of a sound!
Anyone have other ideas??
