Claims

  1. Two experiments on bass–drum onset asynchronies in jazz found little evidence for the participatory discrepancies framework; Butterfield proposes a metric-entrainment account in which such effects are more limited and local.
    "Little evidence emerged from either experiment in support of the PD framework. An alternative proposal drawn from metric entrainment theory explains the effects of PDs as more limited and local than previously thought."
