Accented notes on weak beats.
Those are called syncopated beats, and their use in music is called syncopation.
1 [usu. as adj. ] ( syncopated) displace the beats or accents in (music or a rhythm) so that strong beats become weak and vice versa : syncopated dance music. 2 shorten (a word) by dropping sounds or letters in the middle, as in symbology for symbolology, or Gloster for Gloucester.
"Droning a drowsy syncopated tune" suggests playing a repetitive, monotonous melody that is slow and relaxing, possibly with irregular beats. The use of the word "droning" suggests a continuous and unvaried sound, while "drowsy" and "syncopated" imply a dreamy and slightly offbeat quality to the music.
4/4, with lots of syncopated beats in the instrumental sections.
You may be thinking of syncopation, but it is a little unclear from the question. Syncopated rhythms are ones that have beats in unexpected places. In a standard 4/4 piece, the accents will usually be on the first and third beats, with the first beat having a more pronounced accent. In a 3/4 piece, the accent will usually be on the first beat. If you diverge from this very general rule and put strong accents on other beats, or on fractions of beats, you are creating syncopated rhythms, which are very exciting and enjoyable to play and to listen to.
Syncopated rhythms are rhythms where unexpected beats bear the emphasis. In other words the beat has an unusual structure. Accented notes on weak beats.<apex answer
