was surprised to know that Yauch did the drums for Too Many Rappers. I love that drum beat, especially the original version.

I think the Led Zeppelin backbeat part is his, since they ‘sampled’ it.

Yauch played and recorded that Too Many Rappers drumbeat himself, that’s what made the earlier references in the book to recording techniques and LZ samples come full circle.

There are two beats playing. Yauch’s was the backbeat, though. Right? The part that sounds Led Zeppelin-esque. The perfect little bar or so of music.

I'm pretty sure it's just the one. As the book mentioned, it was the only beat that Yauch knew how to play and did play for the past 20 years, and on Too Many Rappers it finally worked.

No. There are two beats playing on the song. The little sampled sounding Bonham beat which backs the track, and the ‘live’ sounding drums with the accents all over them.

Yauch was a terrible drummer. I’d bet the backbeat is him.

^ There two beats playing at the same time. I agree with KP.
