Hey Jeremiah, thanks for your workshops and your playing at Spirit of the Tribes. I just wanted to clear something up about "super saiidi"

D D tk D D tk T tk
tk T * D D tk T *
tk D tk D D tk T *k
t* kt tk D D tk T *

Its the second line here. To keep it in 8/8 time there has to be a rest after the first "T", but it doesn't sound right when you play the rest before the double doum.. What am I missing here? Thanks!

    It should actually be written like this:

    D D tk D D tk T
    tk tk T D D tk T
    tk D tk D D tk T
    kt kt tk D D tk T

      Not to get into an argument, but..... you have it written as a 7/8. You would need rests after each line to make it an 8/8 (or an 8/4). Also the second "kt" in the last line is syncopated and actually starts the last line. The first "kt" is on the end of the third line. Sorry, long time traps player w/OCD.

        Oops...my bad. Its a 4/4 but we're playing 1/8th notes. They way you have it written you would still need an 1/8th note rest after each line, but I don't think its played in that "straight" manner. Here's the first line as you have it:

        D D tk D D tk T *
        1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

        But there is no rest after the 4th beat. It's played (I hope this lines up when I post it!):

        D D tk D D tk T tk
        1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
        tk T * D D tk T *
        1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
        tk D tk D D tk T *k
        1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
        t* kt tk D D tk T *
        1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

        What sounds odd to me is that 1/8th note rest on "2" in the second line. I can get my head around it, but I rush it or want to fill it.

          Okay, I figured this out. You have to play this in your mind as an 8/4. This way the first two lines of 4/4 will flow together. My mistake was thinking of one line of 4/4 and the second line of 4/4. The problem is that the second line starts with a tk T which throws you off. So its played:

          D D tk D D tk T tk tk T * D D tk T *
          tk D tk D D tk T *k tk t* tk D D tk T

          ;-)
