get to hear when you're ahead or behind just a tad. Usually there's
another instrument though which can do the 2 and 4 thing, too (guitar
piano, etc), so one can sometimes trade the more interesting parts..
Yep. Here's like 5 guys all playing the same bubble on the upbeats, at the

Heh one of my all time favourite songs :) I really dig the studio version,

I found that impressive. But James Brown, George Clinton, and Prince
resonates more than Bob Marley does with my metabolism. I guess anything
will do for rhythm practicing though, as long as you feel it and can get
locked into the groove.
