The article focuses on the findings of an investigation in which a percussion groove characteristic of Brazilian music was recorded and subsequently analyzed using research-grade acoustic analysis software. A 6-inch Brazilian framedrum called tamborim was used in the investigation. An acoustic analysis software package was used to analyze the time series. It concludes that swing is a rhythmic interpretation or distortion of what is actually written.
