This is and 8th note triplet groove inspired by John Bonham. originally the kick drum only landed on 1 and 3 and the snare landed on 2 and 4. The groove was then made more colourful by adding a second bass drum in bar one and a third in the 2nd bar. The snare drum in bar one lands on 2 and 4 but there are ghost notes just before which are quite and then they make the snare on 2 and 4 sound more powerful because they are played at a higher velocity . In bar 2 the snare drum pattern is the same with an additional higher velocity snare drum to make the pattern end on a big powerful snare and then to go back to being a lot lower of a velocity when the pattern loops. The hi hat is very simple as it is 8th notes that are closed apart from Beat 1 in the 1st bar and Beats 1 and 3. the occasional open hi hats adds some colour to the groove.

Who Knew by P!NK Assessment 

The song Who Knew consists of a verse chorus verse chorus structure with a total of 2 verses, 3 choruses a bridge and an outro. The instruments in the song are guitar, drums, bass and strings. The first verse is only vocals, drums and guitar and the bass doesn't come in much later about half way through the first verse and strings don't come in until the start of the second verse.

DRUMS

The drum groove is straight 8th notes on the hi hat with kick on the downbeat and on the offbeats of 3 and 4 and the snare on beats 2 and 4. I looked up drum sheet music for Who Knew on google and then i programmed them into logic and i used 2 different drum kits for the verse and chorus because i wanted the chorus to sound dynamically louder and also have a heavier and more impactful sound.

BASS

The Bass in the song is played by Jak. I got an XLR to Jack cable and plugged the XLR end into the Audio Interface and the Jack end into the Bass and adjusted the gain so that it wasnt overloading. Then in Logic i made an instrument track and let Jak choose an amp from the library and adjust the sound to how he wanted it.

GUITAR

The Guitar was not played by me because i dont know how to play a guitar and so I let Tansey do the guitar for me and all i did was get a jack cable and plug it in and he told me how to adjust the amp settings for the tone and sound that was required to match the song.

OVERVIEW

I didn't finish the whole song because I couldn't focus on it. The parts I did do aren't bad but I only did the drums and they aren't even finished but that is because I wasn't interested enough. Also, I have no knowledge of guitar or bass or strings and so I have no other choice but to ask other people to play it for me. xox
