Can somebody (probably a drummer) explain what's going on in this video?

I've never seen that before and can't quite get my head around exactly what's going on at a little after :40.

As i understand he basically chops up a break and compiling them into a new pattern.

Sounds like he had a drum loop, and he kinda chopped into sections that had kick + a couple hats, then placed it to work with the guitar.

I dunno if he already had his drums made, and then had to change 'em to fit the guitar or what.

I'd assume tho if you programmed your drums you wouldn't need to chop 'em. But sounds like he used a loop or something.

Firstly thank you for that video you're a bad MF for doing all that.

So he's just using the chopped kicks to accentuate the guitar strumming?

I think the hats kinda acented the off beat strums. Not sure.

So like chunggg chu-ka
The kick was on the main chungg and hats on chu-ka.

Not sure. Cant remember it and been drinking ha

Yes, basically.

H.E.R. is half filipino... (nothing to do with your post tho, just wanted to put it out there )

The replies up the top are pretty much on point.
Basically, its a drum loop that's been chopped and rearranged.

If you are wondering why it was arranged the way it was....
Im assuming that it felt right to him, ill most likely lean into that rather than "to accentuate the guitar strumming"

Thats whats fun with sampling...
You give the same sample/loop to different producers, they always come up with something different.

Peace
