Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether groove could enhance motor control when playing multi-limb rhythmic patterns on the drum set. In a within-subjects experimental design, 20 collegiate music majors performed rhythms using the left hand/snare drum and right foot/bass drum on an electronic drum set in three conditions: Isochronous Mmetronome, High-groove, and Low-groove accompaniments—which were 16 beat excerpts of popular songs drawn from an empirically-derived list ranked according to “grooviness.” The rhythms were performed with each accompaniment with Foot, Hand, and Foot and Hand together. Participants also rated their familiarity, enjoyment, perceptions of grooviness, and degree to which they felt “in the groove” after playing with each accompaniment. Analyses revealed that performance accuracy varied as a function of groove condition and effector condition, such that (a) Hand-only and Hand and Foot trials were very close to synchrony, whereas Foot-only trials were early, and (b) High-Groove and Metronome trials were close to the beat, whereas Low-Groove trials were late. Analyses also indicated that performance consistency varied as a function of Effector condition such that Hand-only trials had the least variability in onset asynchronies.

音乐凹槽对架子鼓演奏精度的影响

本研究的目的是探讨在鼓上演奏多肢体节奏模式时，凹槽是否能增强运动控制。在一项实验设计中，20名大学音乐专业的学生用左手/小军鼓和右脚/低音鼓在一套电子鼓上演奏节奏，在三种条件下：同步节拍器、高槽和低槽伴奏——这是16首流行歌曲的节选，从经验得出的列表中根据“grooviness”进行排名。节奏是用脚，手，脚和手一起伴奏的。参与者还对他们的熟悉程度、享受程度、对节奏的感觉以及在演奏完每个伴奏后感到“进入节奏”的程度进行了评分。分析表明，演奏精度随凹槽条件和效应器条件的变化而变化，例如：(a)纯手和手脚试验非常接近同步，而纯脚试验较早；(b)高槽和节拍器试验接近节拍，而低槽试验较晚。分析还表明，表现一致性作为效应条件的函数而变化，例如，仅手试验在开始异步方面具有最小的可变性。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
