But have a listen to these #1 Billboard Hot Dance Club anthems, and notice how minimal the percussion is, and how it makes them sound less danceable compared to their counterparts of other dance fever phases.<br /><br />Previously, Goldfrapp helped pioneer this approach in the early 2000s electroclash heyday with "Strict Machine," which has almost no percussion (let alone on the offbeat), and instead put the synth on rhythm duty.<br /><br />Goldfrapp - "Number 1" (faint hi-hat), "Ooh La La"<br /><br />Justin Timberlake - "SexyBack"<br /><br />Nelly Furtado - "Promiscuous," "Maneater," "Say It Right"<br /><br />Rihanna - "SOS," "Don't Stop the Music"<br /><br />Britney Spears - "Piece of Me," "Gimme More"<br /><br />Lady Gaga - "Poker Face," "LoveGame," "Paparazzi," "Bad Romance"<br /><br />Partial credit: "Disturbia" by Rihanna has an offbeat hi-hat during the chorus only, not the verse; and "Telephone" by Lady Gaga has an audible hi-hat during the verse (not very audible during the chorus).agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.com
