You guys know the break in the song Melt With You by Modern English? Nobody ever gets that one right....hahaha.  Everyone always does the around the world fill 1e&ah 2e&ah crash.  It's actually displaced by two 16th notes like this...1e&ah 2e crash. That one has always cracked me up when I  would try an explain it to other band members...they always get confused...hahaha.

Everynow and then I used to mess with my bass player at practice because he liked being locked in with me on the downbeats all the time and I'd throw him a curve by displacing a beat here and there in practice....he'd always look over at me completely perplexed..hehe

Mick Fleetwood played some VERY weird fills on many of Fleetwood Mac's hits. They sound great on the record, but feel pretty odd when you try to cop them live.

<begin rant/opinion/philosophical observation>

A lot of times, a song's groove is really more than just what the drummer's doing. It's created by the bass, rhythm guitars, keys, percussion; all kinds of things. Thus, the other people you play with really influence the groove of a song.

I think that in Fleetwood's case, that's a band that has played together for DECADES, with players that have found a way to play with each other that both accentuates and accomodates each other's personalities. The end result sounds GREAT, but is hard for other people to duplicate.

The Stones are like that, too. Without the right guitarist in your band, it's hard as hell to for you to sound like Charlie, even if you're playing all the right notes.

i love that kinda thing.  you hear a lot of it in jazz.  where the cats playing are just rolling and rolling and on a whole other plane of communication and one of 'em realises they are ALL there.  yeah.  

GEtting the rototom vibe happening.

Weird in a great way is the roto tom solo in pink floyd's "TIme" off Dark Side of the Moon
