I haven’t read that book, but as a drummer myself growing up on hip-hop/boombap/jazz/funk/soul, anything Dilla-related is absolutely up my alley. Thanks for sharing, I look forward to reading it!

Baroque … inégale
The Sean Jones clip is so cool and kinda cheeky.
I guess if I were scoring that I would want to write it as one 4/4 bar over each two bars of the rhythm section! Just because unequal quarter notes look so unfamiliar.

That’s how I’d be tempted to write it, too! (With “half-time feel” or some such indication)
Man, at that hour and with sufficient liquid fortification, I’d swing whole notes!
