Oh yea, I love the feel of the song exactly how it is so I aimed to match it accordingly. If you want to learn it, you definitely should! My left hand couldn't play this at first either, but if you practice it you can learn it. Try practicing at a slower tempo, slow enough to where it isn't even challenging..then slowly build up from there. Developing a solid muscle memory at slower tempos helps tons for when you do play faster.

@py_a_thon2 ай бұрын
I think the cheat code is sort of in the title of the song. Flam is when a rhythmic note slightly overflows past perfect meter(anywhere from a few milliseconds to a more noticeable amount...which then approaches a "shuffle groove" I think. Ergo: flim is when a note is played slightly early. The tempo is constant in this song, yet it is sequenced with tempo slow down(and sample time stretching) on the drums, and some flim. The genius of this song was using the inverse of flam and treating it as a polyrhythm tool while doing tempo complete patterns and or perfectly sinuosoidal tempo variations on only the drums. The melody is a metronome.
@py_a_thon2 ай бұрын
To be fair, my explanation of flam is not most correct. The formal definition is a bit more complicated and involves playing 2 notes on the drums in succession so as to create a longer note. Somehow I stored a more individualized definition and understanding of the macro scale concept. Or I am just wrong.
