worth while playing in a band it is to remember who determines the pace and tempo. On the one hand, it is often a musical director of the song count-in with clear sign language, on the other hand, he is therefore the responsibility of the development of the pace in Parliament. For it is neither so that the speed machine must be rigid (drummers switch off your click!) Or the pace in one piece may not develop the dramatic procedure accordingly. On the contrary, the pace is a stylistic device as the dynamics and is therefore among musicians often legitimate matter for discussion. No, we do not play the tempo of the drummer, we did not accompany the soloists but stoically for his inspection nor a rhythmically static grid. The speed results from the interaction, it is a give and take.
I recently saw a popular video with a drum machine and a band that "Sweet Georgia Brown" plays. I would bet the machine is at each break, a beat. The ole thing "is back in" and carries as many a drummer of flesh and blood.
Is our sense of time and rhythm as much subjective that we feel the same rate with or without harmony and melody differently?
When I use the cruise control and 50 go through a turn, I feel that I accelerate. Probably only for the simple reason that my subjective experience is influenced by the experience that everyone goes through a curve when he instinctively slowed.
