Rhythm: Ranky Tanky, Sure don’t feel like love

        Ranky Tanky was published In October of 2016, throughout the piece there were different rhythmic pattern. In the drum-set part he created a clave pattern in the bass drum to drive the piece while creating a different rhythmic design and use of equipment around the set. Listening in you can hear a call and response as well as a break from both the instrumentalist and vocalist. During this piece I really enjoyed how they kept it driving and made the tempo more interesting in the instrumentation. 

      Sure Don’t feel like love was published in June of 2015, throughout the piece he was telling a story. In the piece, I feel he was going through human emotion and the rhythm as well as lyrics was like he couldn’t find words to better describe while the same rhythmic pattern was kept throughout. During this piece, I really enjoyed how he was telling a story while building onto the funk of the piece. That had us drawn into being more interesting in finding out what the piece was about.
