Scan from Rhythm Drummer magazine, R U Mine drum review!
If you can’t read it then it says:
This latest single from the Arctic Monkeys is somewhat of a drum feature with drummer Matt Helders rarely playing the same thing for two bars in a row. Throughout the track he often punctuates the rhythmic movement played within the band, sometimes orchestrating the parts around the kit - like the fill mid-way through the second verse - or sometimes crashing out syncopated accents within the groove as in the first verse. The choruses are a drum feature in themselves with the drums playing a two-beat solo fill every two bars and which Matt attacks with a variety of ideas from 16th-note triplet rolls around the kit to frantic 32nd notes played between the snare and toms. Other points to watch out for are the really tight hats during the first half of the second verse and the one-bar break at the beginning of the 2nd chorus.
