List to some drummers that play with the J Dilla style of beats. For example JD beck. Basically you just play certain beats ahead or behind the beat but do it consistently and it sounds "right" but wonky in a very cool way. It's hard as shit to do for me I have trouble enough playing on time lmao



Even questlove said it Was alienating at first (D'Angelo voodoo sessions).

But beyond the nusoul / nujazz world. I can also sense this in Copeland drumming. But in a nearly invisible feel.

And recently I stumbled upon Taylor McFerrin+ thundercat collab. Their drummer was having fun laying crazy shifted patterns, but not on the bottom level. It was different.
