PhD fellow Gui Schmidt C?mara recorded audio and motion from 60 professional drummers, bassist and el-guitarists and instructed them to lay back or push their playing. He found that the drummers mainly varied their onset timing to produce the different microrhythmic feels. In contrast, the bassists and el-guitarists systematically combined onset timing with brightness, duration, and other acoustic features.

Postdoc George Sioros did a cluster analysis of the drummers' performances and visualized the different strategies as phylogenetic trees.
