Yeah good question.
It will be for heads, but no article, it will be some linernotes on a record.
1000 copys
Peace

since when were liner notes supposed to make sense/mean anything?
So are you guys understanding the term or not ????
I googled those words:
Curver-Style
Hits ZERO
Curver-Beat
Hits ONE
And that hit is a review I wrote in 1996 about a crew which is affiliated to the crew I'm writing about now.
Did I made up that fucking term or what ????
apparently.
I think I would abandon the entire endeavor.
No no, I know that these dudes are using the term on there own. Wherever they got the word from it existed before the review and must be known in the 80s and early 90s.
OK, could you please tell me if you never heard it before could you still imagine what it means ???
Hmmm ... sort of
ehhhh ... just use the term. It will be more fun that way.
But
ARE YOU GUYS KNOWING WHAT IT MEANS ???
NO!!!!!!!!!
SOMEONE ADMITS IT.
OK, thats what I wnated to know.
I have to explain it in the linernotes.
Curver Beats are funky beats that got a lot of snare rolls in the pattern.
The name is coming from the guys who played on the streets, for example on times square on some curver boxes with drum sticks.
The only footage I got of something like that, is the guys in the beginning of Crosstown Traffic from Hendrix.
Its extremly short and you cant here nothing.
In my head there is a picture too of YO MTV RAPS trailer which had something like this. But I'm not sure if I'm right.

Seriously ... sounds like a very localized term. Most folks will not know what you mean. Perhaps the context of your notes (or the music) will help?
1000 copies? Not that big of a deal one way or the other. But ... if the record will be distributed to places well outside of your area, you may want to include a quick blurb/context/history or whatever explaining the term.
And these are?
Stop fronting like you don't have an entire expedit cube dedicated to Curver Beats.
This dude was in my shop the other day talwmbout, "I'm telling you, it's the NEXT thing to blow in the record game. Don't let these other record dudes beat you to it!"
What is the style called with those extremly drum roles in a drumpattern ???
Do you call it bucket drummers or what ???
I found this right now on youtube
I raise my drink to their legacy ...
To be honest, i find it comical that there is a need to seperate beats into such a niche that you have invented a category for ones with lots of drum rolls into it but do your thing i guess...
I can understand what you mean, but the thing is that these beats are diffrent to a normal funky beat not to mention totaly diffrent to the standart pattern of the 90s with the snare on the 2 and 4.
These beats are programed with some extreme rolls.
I have to check if I can find one to let hear you.
Is there a name for the style they are playing ??? (not the brasilian kids)
Is there a widely known name for those dudes ?? (Bucket drummer maybe ??)
Why are you obsessed with finding a two-word phrase for this? What is so objectionable about using three, or four, or even five words to try to explain it? That's supposed to be the function of liner notes.
I like the term Curver Beats but maybe there is a word that I dont know of.
See it as "I want to learn soemthing"
