The Twelve Eight Feel
The term +" feel"refers to the action of playing twelve eight notes on hi-hat or ride cymbal at a relatively slow tempo. These twelve eighth notes can be thought of as eighth note triplets in* time or a bar of + time.
+ time places rhythmic emphasis on four dotted quarter notes.
Any time signature which places rhythmic emphasis on a dotted note is referred to as compound time.
If the previous example was rewritten in + time it would look like this:
It can be seen that this example could be written in either * or + time. Both written versions sound identical. Examples 73 - 85 although written in * time can be said to have a + feel.
