- 8:33in
- 8:33drum
- 8:34technology.
- 8:35Right?
- 8:35It's

- 8:46And
- 8:47obviously
- 8:48I
- 8:48was
- 8:48wrong.
- 8:48And
- 8:48I
- 8:48think
- 8:49one
- 8:49of
- 8:49the
- 8:49biggest
- 8:49examples
- 8:50that
- 8:50I

- 8:51when
- 8:52I
- 8:52was
- 8:52learning
- 8:53to
- 8:53play,
- 8:53it
- 8:53was
- 8:53very
- 8:53important
- 8:54to
- 8:54play
- 8:54as
- 8:55on
- 8:55time
- 8:55as
- 8:56possible.
- 8:57And
- 8:57now
- 8:57there's
- 8:57this
- 8:57whole
- 8:58movement
- 8:58of
- 8:58drummers
- 8:59who
- 9:00play
- 9:00intentionally.
- 9:02They.
- 9:02They
- 9:02have
- 9:03their
- 9:03kick
- 9:03sort
- 9:04of
- 9:04flam
- 9:04after
- 9:06the
- 9:06hi
- 9:06hat
- 9:07and
- 9:07the
- 9:07same
- 9:07with
- 9:07the
- 9:08snare.
- 9:08And
- 9:08it's
- 9:08sort
- 9:09of
- 9:09very
- 9:09almost
- 9:10drunken.
- 9:11And
- 9:11at
- 9:11first
- 9:11I.
- 9:12It
- 9:12sounds
- 9:13cool.
- 9:13I
- 9:13was
- 9:13trying
- 9:13to
- 9:14understand
- 9:14what
- 9:14happened,
- 9:14where
- 9:14did
- 9:15this
- 9:15come
- 9:15from?
- 9:15And
- 9:15then
- 9:15I
- 9:16realized
- 9:16that
- 9:16it
- 9:16came
- 9:17probably
- 9:18from
- 9:21when
- 9:22sections
- 9:23of
- 9:23music
- 9:23started
- 9:23to
- 9:24be
- 9:24looped
- 9:24for
- 9:24hip
- 9:25hop
- 9:25and
- 9:25for
- 9:25electronic
- 9:26music.
- 9:26And
- 9:27that
- 9:27loop
- 9:27would
- 9:27be
- 9:27of
- 9:27a
- 9:28real
- 9:28drummer
- 9:28and
- 9:28it
- 9:28would

- 9:34a
- 9:34slight
- 9:34acceleration
- 9:35in
- 9:35the
- 9:35drums.
- 9:36Like
- 9:36the
- 9:36loop

- 9:36be
- 9:36cut
- 9:36too
- 9:37short
- 9:37or
- 9:37too
- 9:37long.
