Good stuff! Very entertaining to watch, some fun patterns and really great-sounding beats. Subscribed!

anyway you could make a video on how to write these rythms? i know it's polyrythms but the displacements of where they end and the speed throw everything off in my head. sound really great by the way.

I will keep that in mind for a future video. If you or anyone else is looking to figure out some polyrhythms, I would recommend learning to play 3 vs. 2 with your hands first. A triplet with one hand, and 2 eighth notes with the other hand. Or, to think and count this even more simply, count it as 1 2&3, 1 2&3, 1 2&3, like so. Now, count 1 is both hands. Count 2 is "R", The & is "L", count 3 is "R". So... (B=both) B RLR B RLR B RLR. Hey look, you're playing polyrhythms! Your right hand is staying steady, playing 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3... Your left hand is staying steady, playing on 1, and the & of 2. You may already know this but others may not. As for this video, at :10, I'm playing triplets with the bass drum on beat 3, then a triplet on the & of 1, then on 3 again. Over top of the 8th notes on the ride makes this polyrhythmic. The 4th time through, the last triplet is on the & of 3. At :29, the triplet is on the & of 3, played as ghost notes with the left hand. At :38, the triplet is played with the bass drum on beat 1, over top of 16th notes on the hi-hat makes this a 4 vs.3 polyrhythm. The 4th time through of the 2 measure phrase, the second triplet on beat 1 is followed by two more triplets on beats 2 and 3. At :57, the triplets come in on the bass and the snare. So, 2 measure phrase again, bass note triplets come in on 1, and the & of 3, the snare triplet comes in on the & of 2 in only the second measure of each phrase.

qwikstix3 I am in debt to you, thats exactly what i asked for, turn out i can already play poly rythms but your stuff was to subtle for me to find it by ear. i am really gratefull for the time you took to respond, thank you, keep at it.
