Motorik is a term coined by music journalists to describe the 4/4 beat often used by "Krautrock" bands such as Can, Neu! and Kraftwerk (promoting the official CD release of Neu!'s back-catalogue, Klaus Dinger stated he called it the "Apache-beat").〔Klaus Dinger (2002). Interview with UK music magazine ''The Wire''.〕 The word "Motorik" means "motor skill" in German, although the word's use in music journalism may be derived from a punning modification of "motoric", a term long used by music critics to describe relentless ostinato rhythm, or simply from a combination of "motor" and the German "Musik".

Retrieved 20 October 2007.〕 Apart from the krautrock bands, the motorik has also been used by newer bands like Primal Scream, Radiohead, Sonic Youth and Fujiya & Miyagi〔Sick Mouthy blog: Top ten songs with the Motorik Beat: http://sickmouthy.com/2012/06/19/top-ten-songs-with-the-motorik-beat/〕 The motorik beat is in 4/4 time and of moderate pace. The pattern is repeated each bar throughout the song. A splash or crash cymbal is often hit at the beginning bar of a verse or chorus. The basic pattern is as follows:〔 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「motorik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
