Si tratta di un documentario sulle origini del rock 'n' roll. copio anche quello che viene prima per contesto: (è la stessa persona che parla - un ex musicista)
Yeah, to say I didn't feel
that old Memphis drumming
would be the wrong statement.
I certainly did.
He just-you hit
right in the bottom of that beat
with that drum lick,
and that's where that boy was and still is.
Grazie!

frase di batteria
I licks, più che assoli di batteria, sono piccole frasi caratteristiche che distinguono lo stile strumentale di ogni musicista. Il termine si può applicare anche a bassisti e chitarristi.

Hi Federica
In popular music a "lick" (more frequently referred to guitar) means something like a "giro", or, for drums, maybe a "base di batteria" or even a "ritmo". It's a short sequence of a few bars that will often be repeated throughout the song.
This is a dedicated musician speaking to you here, aka "Derek Blueboy Smith"!
Cheers

Hi Luskie. Ta muchly. I think it's similar: I reckon a lick is shorter and more repetitive than a riff, imo it's more related to style than content
