Only the performance of said beat.We are very proud of our free lesson content and due to high demand have now started offering premium download packs to further help the learning process. But Garbage doesn't have to credit Carmine or anyone else, because the beat itself is not a copyright. It is also written on out in hundreds of different instructional books.

It's also been used on hundreds of different rock songs. And if you look in the liner notes for the Garbage album, the members of the Clash are credited (and get paid) because Garbage used the actual performance from the Clash song.īut the beat itself? It's beat #2 in Carmine Appice's Realistic Rock book, which came out in 1972. Is the same beat as The Clash "A Train In Vain"īut it is not just the same drum beat, it's same actual drum track. Although notice, even though it's clear he is being used, he's having a difficult time collecting any money or getting any credit.īut if someone else recorded themselves playing the same drum patterns, you would have no case, as it was not your performance. This is what the Clyde Stubfield case is about. So if the next person comes along, buys your album, over dubs music on to it, and puts it out, then you would have a case under the "performer's performance" issue. So if you record a drum track, put it on an album, and copyrighted the album, that performance of you playing falls under the law. If you record yourself playing drums, that recording can by copyrighted. Add to this the strong tradition of answer songs and parodies in the popular charts, with artists developing specific themes, ideas and melody patterns taken from earlier hit recordings and it's easy to see why copyright law has been criticized as too simplistic. Rap music borrows heavily from funk, soul, dissonant jazz and the avant garde. Rock and roll "borrows" extensively from black music, country music, folk and Tin Pan Alley. Also, most popular music derives from a variety of musical traditions. A successful pop song typically balances elements of familiarity and novelty, and pop songwriters frequently pay tribute to their peers and predecessors via allusion, pastiche and mimicry, making it difficult to determine exactly which elements in any given pop song are original. WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN IN THE REAL WORLD?Įven copyright scholar Melville Nimmer has observed that it is hard to apply copyright infringement analysis to popular music because almost all popular compositions bear some similarity to prior works. As a result, there is NO truth to the rumor that sampling less than 4 bars is OK.Ħ. The heart of a song may be a memorable melody, or an identifiable 2-chord guitar riff or just a few words taken from the chorus. For instance, in determining whether one song infringes on another, it is common for courts to look to whether the "heart" of the song was taken. Ultimately the test for infringement turns on the issue of quality, rather than quantity. What about outside the USA? Canada? Europe? Australia? Note of course I think it should be legal to write tabs/transcriptions/youtube tutorials for songs, because in the end the more people play music the better, but given how things are nowadays where guitar lesson videos on youtube get routinely taken down for "infringement" I am wondering where drum transcriptions stand in the legal grand scheme of things. I have found a forum article referencing a law website about guitar tabs not being protected under fair use in the USA and basically being copyright infringement if not licensed, but what about drum tabs/transcriptions?Īre drum performances considered copyrighted the same way as a song's lyrics or melody? or are they somehow "less" protected? I'd think that there'd be no way a basic shuffle would be copyrighteable, but what about very recognizeable grooves that are integral to the song?

I have been thinking about putting some transcriptions online for other people's benefits (for free of course, and my own work of course), and I have been trying to figure out if it's legal to do so or not.
