I would bet anything that the so-called “motorik” beat in krautrock was actually invented by some Motown or soul drummer, because it sounds so darn familiar to me. It even reminds me of some beats that Ringo did.
FYI for those searching for the motorik beat in MIDI form: I’m pretty sure Toontrack’s “Seventies Prog” MIDI pack has it.
Try “Theme 4” in the 4/4 section.
