There's a very clear pattern for the drummer's right hand, so "the formula is there is no formula" is very misleading. The right hand has a very leading role for the left and the kick, where it basicly plays right before every kick. It's a two bar pattern, playing (one eight, one quarter, one dotted quarter, one quarter) (two dotted quarters, one quarter) and on the first quarter of every second bar the right hand plays a bell. This pattern is the core pattern for the right both in the chorus and verse. The only change is when the righ plays on the china, where it plays the same notes as the kick. Really good video overall, Agent Fresco are one of the most competent bands today when it comes to songwriting!

As a former drummer the right hand pattern did seem almost natural to me in a sense so I was a little confused about his interpretation of it. Granted, this style of drumming is what I gravitated towards so I realize while it might have clicked right away with me that it might seem foreign to non-drummers or even drummers whose internal pulses don't naturally align with the style.

@@mastod0n1 yeah I realized the exact same thing with this song. It seemed to me pretty obvious to play when I first took a look at it and it went pretty well ans for the same reason as you. But looking back at it, I see how much it can be disturbing and hard to understand when you're not used to it. It's the kind of pattern that are easy once you've broke everything down. The kick and snare hits basically drive the whole thing and then it's often just a matter of placing a hit hat before the kick (often with a ghost note in beetween) and filling the blancks with ghost notes on the snare.

Exactly. The drums here are very simple and logical: he knew where he needed to place the kicks and how he wanted the snare to interract with the kicks. And the empty spaces in-between he filled in with the hi-hats or cymbals creating linear grooves. Just looke at the score - it's all linear beats. And as a drummer you fill those empty spaces without even thinking about it, 'cause it's all about the body triangle motion, the triangle of R hand, L hand and R foot.

I always thought the drums (right hand) followed a pattern. The closed hats especially sound distinct but you'll find they also follow a pattern across the stanzas.

@@krizzi666 No. That has nothing to do with it. The real answer is: playing drums. You have to know it to understand it. There's not just the musical level, but even more importantly - the body movement level that non-drummers don't know anything about. The pattern was very natural and almost obvious to play.

I have a question? I do sincerely believe that I have a voice. I do covers and yes I do gigs. I'm not saying this to brag okay? I just wanna give you details of me. Anyways I really wanna right my own songs but why does my voice doesn't fit my own songs?? I seriously don't like it. People say it's good but I personally don't like it. Is this just a psychological thinking?
