| 1. | backbeat | ||
|
1. A type of music that puts emphasis on beats 2 and 4.
2. A rhythmic quality in music where a beat either is slightly late or gives the illusion of being slightly late. 3. A personal trait of being late. 1. James Brown's music was groundbreaking in putting emphasis on the first beat; he called such music "the one."
2. Lay that snare drum down in a more relaxed manner, more backbeat. 3. Ricky is always late to rehearsal, he's so backbeat. |
