Couple of cool things about the part at 2:11, where the clappers lose it. If we're in 7/4, and assuming claps on 1, he throws us off by starting his groove on the CLAP rather than every time before starting really on the 2nd beat. It's still triplet hi-hats like the bars before, but split into groups of 4. This technique is called metric modulation, and it sounds like the tempo changes (tempo-rarily). If you watch his left foot on the hi hat, you can see him counting 3 -4-5-6-7 in the original pulse, while he's playing the metric modulation over the top, so he's still feeling that 7 pulse. Something else, if it helps too. A bar of 7/4 in triplets is a total of 21 hits on the hi-hat (3x7). So if you split that into a four pulse, you can count it as 1234 1234 1234 1234 1234 1 CLAP, or listen for K234 S234 K234 S234 K234 1 CLAP. where K is kick and S is snare hit

@@hughkills I totally hear you about wanting the clap to be on 4 (or 7)! Even George Collier's analysis of this video comes from that perspective. I'll direct you to 0:41, though. Nate starts conducting a bar of 4/4 with the clap on the downbeat (that's my interpretation at least). I see him dividing the groove into 4/4 + 3/4 with the clap on beat 1 of the 4/4 bar. I'm not throwing any shade! This discussion is just SUPER interesting to me! I have a hard time hearing the clap on beat 7 and I come back to this video often to try to train myself to be able to hear it that way.

Chops are fine within a groove which he’s doing here. I’m just not into the standard gospel chops style. Notice how the groove never stops even when he is throwing in those small fills. Also none of his fills in this use anything other than kick snare hihat, he didn’t touch his toms once. For an example of what I’m not as in to, go watch a Thomas pridgen video. That’s a good example of the kind of chops I’m talking about.
