Hearing Backbeat and Swing

In the section about Jump Blues, I demonstrate the backbeat (2 and 4) and swung rhythms (at the 2:13 timestamp in the video). Clap along with my demonstration of these two rhythmic elements , and see how the backbeat feels different than the downbeat, and how “straight” rhythms compare to “swung.”

Even if you don’t necessary feel it, or have a good description of it post your thoughts or reply to someone else.

Example 1

Clapping along with the backbeat 1 & 3, it felt more still and steady. As for clapping along for the backbeat 2 and 4 it felt like more movement, more upbeat, like you can sand along to it. Its so strange how you think something will sound similar but actually feel very different.

Example 2

When I clapped along, the backbeat on 2 and 4 felt more fun and made me want to move more. The straight rhythm sounded more even, while the swung rhythm felt bouncier. It was a small difference, but I could definitely notice it.

Example 3

The clapping on the two and the four makes it a lot more groovy, or bouncy as mentioned in the video. When I was listening to the claps on the two and the four, I was more into it, as it felt as if it had more suspense to it as well. The one and three aren’t boring, however it feels more entertaining listening to the 2 and 4. The straight and swung differences were much different as well. The straight rhythm lacks the suspense, and beat that the swung beat has. The swung beat got me moving to the beat a little bit, and it feels like I should be dancing to that beat.

Example 4

The clapping on the two and the four makes it a lot more groovy, or bouncy as mentioned in the video. When I was listening to the claps on the two and the four, I was more into it, as it felt as if it had more suspense to it as well. The one and three aren’t boring, however it feels more entertaining listening to the 2 and 4. The straight and swung differences were much different as well. The straight rhythm lacks the suspense, and beat that the swung beat has. The swung beat got me moving to the beat a little bit, and it feels like I should be dancing to that beat.
