I'm trying to get one drum beat...somewhere, maybe online...that is what I would call an extended 3/4 beat. It might be 6/8 not sure, but the snare only hits on every other measure.
The song I'm trying to make a backup track is Bird on a Wire

Can anybody help, first define this beat, then possibly suggest a way to create/find it?
Thanks |

Hi Tony. Not sure if this is what you need, but I'd say it's a basic 6/8 throughout the entire song. A couple of fills here and there, but basically it's the same pattern all the way through. Here is a rough sketch I scribbled on a piece of paper to illustrate:
Usual notation: Top~HiHat, Botton: BassDrum, Middle~SnareDrum. During the first measures you hear a RimClick, after that it's a regular snare sound.
Hope this helps?

Thanks Christoph...that helps.
Here's another one with that drum beat (with beautiful lap steel by Greg Lietz)

Ultimately I need to create it on a drum program or something so I can use...wonder if BIAB can do it? |

This one I'd actually interpret as 3/4. Here's how I'd notate the basic rythm:
(I) is the basic beat, I'd say. Note that the HiHat is basically played in 8th triplets leaving out the second and third, or only the second.
(II) and (III) are slight variations thereof simply changing the last quarter note on the HiHat.
I have never used BIAB, don't know if you can program a drum loop into it...

Tony! We call it a 3/4 back beat. Bass Kick foot 1 & 2 & 1 and paz hit snare. Start it slow and than use your right hand with a sweep on high hat.  Uncle Leo |
