FuNkShUi Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD3iaURppQw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=yD3iaURppQw[/url] In this clip the audience are clapping on the 1 and 3 instead of 2 & 4. So in his solo, Harry Connick throws in a 5/4 bar to correct it. It happens at about 39 seconds in, and is bloody genius. I cant stop watching it! Audience are totally oblivious to the schooling they've just received Edited September 9, 2015 by FuNkShUi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykesbass Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Apparently Dave Brubeck wrote this to challenge the handclappers and toe tappers: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDB4K5zCcfk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDB4K5zCcfk[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 The audience aren't out of time though... They are just clapping on the "wrong" beats. And it's only convention that dictates you should clap on beat 2 and 4 of this style of music rather than 1 and 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Wynton Marsalis tells a lovely story about a gig he did (why do I think it was in England?) where this happened. The audience of square White Anglo Saxon Protestants were all clapping on 1 and 3 whilst this 7 year old kid at the front, who clearly had not yet been inducted into the world of English Folk music, was clicking his fingers on 2 and 4 and nodding his head like a brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul h Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'm with BigRedX. I've never understood why clapping on 1 and 3 is deemed "incorrect". Very clever playing from the Connickmeister though. I mean I can totally spot the 5/4 bar. Yeah, I can totally spot it. I music good me. Even after half watching it half a dozen times I can totally spot it. I really shouldn't be allowed an instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 perhaps clapping to the 2nd and 4th beat became popular when rock and roll 'invented' the snare on those beats. I seem to remember an interview with John Lennon where he was saying when they cut the live 'give peace a chance' the crowd were clapping on the 'wrong' beat so they had to alter it in the studio later. I may have dreamt that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 A handclap sounds like a snare. Snare beats typically happen on the two and four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 This is what i was getting at. I don't really care about what constitutes as "wrong".

And they are the reason that tambourines should never be left in range of the audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Just one of the reasons I find 'Strictly Come Dancing' so hard to watch. Great band, but the audience killing it every time with clapping on the 1 & 3. Aaaaarrrggghhh............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
