Swing turns straight drums into groove
Transcript
A straight grid lands every hi-hat evenly, but swing nudges the off-beats later so the gaps stop looking and feeling identical. On screen, think 50 percent for straight, then 54 percent, then 65 percent, where the second and fourth 16th notes slide right while the main beats stay locked. In classic house, that means a four-to-the-floor kick stays firm while off-beat hats and claps get the skippy feel that makes the groove danceable. In 90s house, the same trick gives the shuffle its character, especially when MPC-style swing templates are committed to the clip.
