This role is to provide the greater harmonic context for the piece. The third major rhythm section role is that of the chord-comping instruments, usually rhythm guitar and piano. The role of the bass might be fulfilled by an upright bass (usually acoustic but sometimes electric), a bass guitar, a keyboard/synth bass sound, a tuba, a baritone saxophone, a cello, or any other low-pitched instrument. In this way, the groove’s underlying rhythmic and harmonic structure reinforce each other. In the rhythm section context, the bass will be particularly attuned to the drummer’s kick drum, careful to “lock in” or synchronize significant rhythmic hits with that instrument, but drawing on the hi-hat’s subdivision for some of the articulations. Between chord tones, the bass will play a variety of approach notes, and other articulations, such as skips. The bass might “play time” (play steady notes throughout the measures) or “walk,” which is a more linear way of approaching the significant harmonic target notes. Usually, at each new chord, the bass will play that chord’s root, and then create a bass line designed to reinforce or arrive at the essential harmony in every new measure. The bass plays the primary chord notes, generally matching the root and 5 with the strong beats of the measure, such as beat 1 and 3 in 4/4 time, 1 and 4 in 6/8, and just 1 in 3/4. The bass’s primary job is to define the harmonies, and thus, the harmonic rhythm of the piece. This role may be fulfilled by a drum set, a drum machine, a hand percussion ensemble, digital loops, beat-boxing/body percussion, strummed muted guitar strings, or other percussive sound sources. This doesn’t mean that the drummer is the “conductor” or the “metronome,” but he or she does tend to be the defining reference point for the groove’s rhythmic undercurrent. So, the drumbeat’s role is essentially to define the time feel and tempo of the groove. A clave-based drumbeat may have a two-bar pattern, clearly organizing the characteristic 2/3 vs.
In addition to the beat subdivision, there will be more less emphasis on the individual metric pulses, and other patterns.
While not every subdivision will necessarily sound on every beat, it will at least reference this underlying feel to give the beat its characteristic. A classic funk beat will tend to have a sixteenth-note feel. A swing beat will therefore tend to have a triplet-based pattern in the cymbals. Most commonly, in a drum set, this subdivision is articulated by the hi-hat or ride cymbal. Typically, the beat includes reference to the smallest rhythmic subdivision and the pattern of accents that define the rhythmic feel characteristic of the genre.
