How to Count Brotherly's System - Lesson of The Week

Nate Smith January 27, 2015

Last year I covered Brotherly's System. Since then a lot of people asked me one question - How Do You Count It?

A few months after I recorded it the original show, I learned from a couple of "sources" (whose names I don't have permission to share) that I'd been counting it wrong. These same folks told me where the real "one" was. Seeing plenty of other drum covers of System on the web, but no videos explaining how to play it correctly, I thought I'd do one last dance with System - record the definitive lesson on how to count the "hook" of the song - the reason everybody covers it - the delicious metric "modulation".

In this lesson you'll learn -

1) How to count the metric modulation

2) A simple four-beat progression that will help you hear and play it better
