Instead of D-beat it should of been called B-beat 😅 (joke)

What gets interesting about D-Beats is they’re usually played very sloppily so the kick drum ends up becoming a triplet because the drummer can’t articulate the dotted kick pattern. This actually ends up being even cooler because it makes a crazy polyrhythm unintentionally where you’re playing straight time on the snare and triplets on the kick.

You can boil it down to this: 4/4 snare and 6/8 kick. It's a polyrhythm. If you treat it as one you'll get it really tight. Just play 4 snares to three kicks at even intervals and that's it.

@@redoregan It is a one bar rhythm in 4/4, simple as that. No need to complicate it any more. You are over intellectualising it with your theory.

When you bought that single in 1979, you were what? 14? What would teenage Spike make of you playing Hersham Boys WITH Jimmy Pursey in Sham 69? I know you've played with many great bands, but this is one of the first 'punk' songs that I remember and, for that reason, it frames my early punk years. A classic.

@@erwinschrodinkle7228 I would have been 12 & wouldn’t have thought in a million years I would end up playing this song with not just Jimmy, but all the members that performed on this classic tune. Hope you enjoyed this version. I know I enjoyed doing it!!

Thank you for including the straight rhythm with the right hand! My band keeps saying “do more d-beat” and I’m trying to figure out how tf I’m not already… I was definitely not going to start having my right hand follow the kick drum like a beginner level player! I’ve never done that and never will!

Being a fast player (skate punk) I use the D-Beat as an energy saver live, it’s basically the same beat as the skate punk beat with less kick variations and easier on the wrist. I learned the skate punk beat first and thought to myself there’s gotta be a less tiring way to play this. I didn’t realize my “lazier” version was a D Beat till later 😆
