- exactitude
- Assertion
- In a rock drum pattern rated by 93 music students, the quantized version was rated highest; early shifts were rated worse than late ones and snare shifts worse than bass-drum shifts; the authors conclude some groove-oriented styles have an aesthetics of exactitude.
- Quote
(a) The highest ratings of perceived drum pattern quality were given for the rhythmically accurate (quantized) version; (b) the increasing deviation in microtiming resulted in lower quality ratings; (c) [...] early time shift was rated more negatively than the comparable late time shift; (d) in general, microtiming deviations on the snare drum were rated worse than comparable deviations on the bass drum [...] We conclude that at least some styles of modern groove-oriented music are characterized by an aesthetics of “exactitude” and a groove effect independent of microtiming deviations.
