4 Over 3 Polyrhythm - Advanced Drum Lessons

im left handed but play drums right handed... 7 minutes in i could play continuously whilst alternating between playing it left and right handed ;)

Thank you very much for the simple information. I'm a electronic music producer (former guitarrist) and I'm trying to runaway from the 4/4 overused formula to produce.
I'm was aware of the polyrhythm concept but it's much easier to undertand their applications through your examples.

ahhahaha the first thing i imagine in my head was danny XD

is this what danney carey does to twist our minds?

pass the bread and butter my dudes

confused as hell, from explanation this is more to polymeters... or am i wrong... i try to tab this, feel like i use 3/4 againt 4/4

This is a three over four not a four over three

I feel like the chart complicates things to be honest.

/Im new to polyrythms.. but why is this 4/3 and not 3/4?...

Kenwood Dennard  can play 3 different rhythms at a time. Mind boggling

Oh dude, this picture with Xes made a lot sense) I thought I was going to damage my brain trying to figure this mess out, but you, guys helped me out. +1 subscriber

damn dude, less talk more rock.

Best way to learn Polyrhythm is by studying African Drumming. 12 is an important number, but so is 24, This is where micro rhythms occur, (taking same rhythm and playing twice as fast.

best explaination on the tube! thanx!

so is this like playing quarter note triplets?

Love the kit sounD! Esp the kick, WoW! Must get one. Turns out i've been playing this for years, without knowing it. Im stoked!

Pass The God Damn Butter

man you have superpower!

YOURE AMAZING WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW THANKS SOOO MUCH. trying to play nocturnal by Chopin and there is a few polyrhythms that are new and so confusing haha. Thanks so much! :)

Christ! You count polyrhythms so weirdly. I would count 3:4 as a measure of 3/4 where the 3 part is playing quarter notes and the 4 part is playing dotted 8th notes. Or if you wanted to swap the pulse, you could count it as a measure of 4/4 where the 4 part is playing quarter notes and the 3 part is playing half note triplets. So much simpler to wrap your head around.

Thanks much for your lesson. After spending 10 min watching your vid, I think I figured out that this is definitely not for me. LOL

this drum set is cleaaaan! nice video btw

Great Lesson!! Love the emphasis on limb independence, being able to play any part w/ any limb.

so it's 4/4 by 3/4 in this case? Answer me Mr. Drummer sir!

That's actually 8 over 3, not 4 over 3

Kinda Pantera - Live in a Hole drum feeling .. right?

great great video bro!

thats not a 3:2 ryhthm instead of 4:3?? I mean, it sounds like a 6/4 time signature (and 3x2= 6)

I played these rhythms alot not even knowing i was doing polyrhythms ahaha

It sounds better when you play snare each 3

Sir How to groove with this time signature

Is is bad that I can memorize how it sounds and then play it better than I can play by reading it ?

I thought 3/4 was easy till I got to the 3/4 section in Gary Chaffee's Odd Time Stickings book. Thanks for the insightful Vimeo 3/4 primer.

Reminds me of the intro to Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums

Ænima’s ending

I think I will go back to intermediate🥺

\m/

A cure for ADHD or a cause of psychosis? 😂 very good lesson!

Never understood the theory behind polyrhythms. Now I do! Thanks!

Wuh

The resources for the lesson link is not working, how would I get the sheet music for this?

i swear the intro beat is from an opeth song

nvm, its the same notes from charlatan

I find the notation so weird with your chart and the X's. To me it seems the top one should be the 3 pattern and the bottom one should be the 4th pattern hence why there's 3 hits on the top and 4 on the bottom, but apparently it's not worded that way...

Clear and helpful lesson for us drummers just getting into polyrhythms. One mathy thing, though. Twelve isn't the lowest common denominator of the integers 3 and 4. It's the least common multiple.

Is it easier to play polyrhythms by learning and memorizing the sound of the pattern as a whole and recreate that sound? Of course that falls apart when you want to improvise polyrhythms, unless you already know the pattern sound right?

I'm not a drummer I'm a bass player but the idea of being able to drum at a high-level fascinates me.

i wonder if anyone even monitors this channel since they're drumeo now lol anyway, playing a regular four beat with all your limbs and then playing the 3 with your left hand on a ride cymbal sounds cool

Gotta love Dave!
