Do we often have lots of other snappy instruments with lots of notes coming more often than drum track events, so that the drummer isn't at all perceived as the timing reference of the song? It's hard to believe that we could tweak the drum track timing back and forth without changing the perceived pulse positions of the music, isn't it?

Someone has analysed a world class drummers hi hat timing - it’s quite technical but I found it fascinating!

And for an idea of the neurology involved in pulse perception..

Colin Fraser has written a bit over the years on this topic in various places around the net, after researching to build the Cirklon
