this is especially annoying when composers say 'swung feel', predominantly use dotted eighth sixteenth patterns, but then also include regular eighth notes and also triplets.
related, the goldenberg xylo book is jank in some spots and idk why it's still used instead of newer exercise/etude books
Speaking as both a pianist and a percussionist, those differences in swing and feel between different parts of the ensemble is so true. I'm remembering a clinic I watched of a rhythm section where the pianist talked about having to almost play ahead of the beat in order to recreate the style of Count Basie's playing. As an orchestral percussionist, you almost have to intentionally drag in order to stay in time with the slow attack of the strings.
Also, I love me some unusual swing feels. Not to get all jazz-circlejerky, but the shit Jacob Collier does with septuplet swing/dilla feel is SO good. I probably should seek out more jazz with unorthodox feels.
