    I don't think there is, but, if there's anyone left that thinks playing metal is just 16th notes on the basses, and quarter or half notes on the snare, these are two parts from Danny Carey's Cyberclinic at DannyCarey.org. You can see that a lot of thinking and planning goes into his parts. Maybe it's no big deal, but I thought this was pretty darn cool!!

    "This beat was composed to be a simple accompaniment to Justin's beautiful bass line. Being in a compound time of 12/8 (5/8 + 7/8), the main goal was to let the natural pulse of the melody come through and keep it simple enough to let Maynard's polyrhythmic phrasing in 3 come through unscathed.The transition into the pre-chorus was done with the same intent but was a little more jerky due to the added beat that moved the time into 13/8 (6/8 + 7/8)."

    "This has been the most requested segment ever since the cyber clinics began. It is simply a solo break over 7/4 time with a bar of 8/4 every fourth bar. I always find it refreshing when melodies go over the bar line in solos, so I tried to take advantage of this technique in a couple of places. In odd time signatures it becomes very important to establish an inner pulse (such as 2-2-3 in 7) for a reference point. Once the corresponding pulse is internalized, any time signature can become a playground."

    Yeah, when you start talking about mixed meter it makes you think of jazz more than metal. This guy's no dummy.

    BTW- I'm taking Jam'n Jimmy to a clinic by Jeff Campatelli this weekend. Should be pretty cool.

    Actually, I'm going to try and film (video) it. If there's anything worth watching I'll put a clip on Google.

    Hey, wouldn't it be weird if drummer ended up being Jeff Campatelli?
