The importance of rhythm


Music elements are bass, melody, harmony (notes at the same time). And rhythm which may well be the most important.


For example on
Eternal Flame - Bangles
there is a percussion event every 4th beat of a bar.

Are there other musical compositions on our planet that have a percussion every forth beat of a bar?


Other example.
Suspicious Mind - Elvis Presley

At 1:46 changes from 4 beats per bar to 3 beats per bar
ie time signature from 4/4 to 3/4 (waltz).
