4 Over 3 Polyrhythm - Advanced Drum Lessons

[@patrickriley195]

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

[@1theedster]

I agree! Im self taught from a young age and because i was a lazy youth i didnt do any technical stuff. Very very important as a drummer to practice the frustrating stuff

[@caspianxander390]

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I love any help you can offer me!

@Caspian Xander Instablaster ;)

[@caspianxander390]

@Vicente Beau thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@caspianxander390]

@Vicente Beau It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account :D

[@nes.culture]

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.

[@Nicktolias]

I never use polyrhythms, I use tons of odd time signatures, but after this lesson I really began experimenting with polyrhythms. thank you so much drumeo for inspiring me!

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

@mattlikesdrumming The '3' is the pulse, so adding a 4 makes it 4:3 In the 'Eulogy' polyrhythm it's 3:4 because the pulse is in 4.

[@TheSillybookworm]

I'm learning a polyrhythmic piece for piano and this guy actually helped a lot!

[@Christian-dh2eo]

Impromptu Chopin?

[@oldschoolcorps]

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.

[@malika3111]

When i play 4 over 3 i say "pass the gosh darn ketchup" so that pass is on 1, gosh is on 2, and the "ketch" part in ketchup is on 3. all other syllables are on the 4 pattern. The "pass" is on 1. The "the" is on the a of 1. The "gosh" is on 2. The "darn" is on the and of 2. The "ketch" in the word "ketchup" is on 3. and the "up" in the word "ketchup" is the final note within the 4/3 pattern on the e of 3, than ending on 4.

[@frigidpony]

Ha ha that is a funny way to think of it.

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

Great little trick! Thanks for sharing! ;)

[@RidersCanucks]

Just read this today and I can't believe how well it clicked with me

[@Black.History.365]

The saying I learned was, “Pass the doggone butter.”

[@AndyjustB]

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!

[@Allplussomeminus]

I knew nothing about this kind of beat but still tapped it when I was in elementary school! 3:17

[@曾忠凱]

Nice video it's rly helpful. With your approach and the cool intro example, I feel there rly is many to explore. And maybe now I could finally realize what those drummers are playing. Many thanks!

[@xxevilpandaxx1]

Broken hand by Lamb of God has one point with this exact polyrhythm is played on the ride and snare (3 on ride and 4 on snare), with double kicks under it. I think it sounds pretty cool, so u guys should check it out if u wanna carry on with this 4/3 polyrhythm

[@tryggviorskarpheinsson2829]

Thanks for the suggestion. Such a great drummer.

[@elephrain]

[@IvanKhramov]

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

[@MushroomJumper]

this was not easy for me so am glad that I got it!

[@sierramister123]

I do this all the time!!!! Its so cool to know what i am actually doing in "theory" terms. it is pretty easy though but I have faith that beginners should learn this without taking too much time on it.

[@ondrejmasopust1]

Can you please do some video, where you will show, when you are playing to some song, how you decide, what polyrhytm do you use?

[@talonmajors]

lovin' the polyrhythms!!! thnx brah!

[@NicholasReguin]

In the words of the great Josh Nichols, this gives me headaches..HEADACHES!!!

[@beAllbugger]

I understand that jazz musicians continuously work together in such time frames, but would a polymeter apply more in classical music? It is good to know, but better to know where to apply it.

[@michaelmcnally9737]

The way I got it down was to say "What atrocious weather" in my head as I was tapping it out. The inflection follows the beat.

[@millerkmd1]

so is this like playing quarter note triplets?

[@Subxture]

great guidance to step in a larger world. thank you

[@49Macman]

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

[@jimmywesterberg9957]

Gotta love Dave!

[@packstevewood]

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.

[@OFM515]

It isn't that it's easy, he just explains it really well

[@mattlikesdrumming]

what i always wonder is wht's the difference between this and 3:4... are they the same? or a different hand leads?

[@DreadyDiggs]

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.

[@1691jabp]

WELL DONE i want MOAR of dis stuff!!

[@kolobibiri6395]

Excellent teaching...!!!

[@LesVideosDeJet]

Haha, I'm ALWAYS doing this 4/3 pattern at school on my legs like you did... :D

[@wakapoopoopeepee1]

I was confused when you were doing it on your lap... but with the snare it makes everything easier!

[@360.Tapestry]

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

[@logansdrums]

Can you you do a 7 against 5 polyrhythm please.

[@drums4life5]

Thanks man! Polyrythms is something Ive always feared

[@TheSodaLake]

The bar is not the same length for the 3 and the 4. You're counting each measure with the same BPM. They overlap until refining to land on the same beat after a few measures. An easy way of understand sound difference between rhythmic combonations is to play the secondary rhythm's number of beats walking up a scale to the beat of the original time signature is in -1 -2 -3 -4/ -1 -2 -3 -4/ -1 -2 -3 -4/ -1 -2 -3/ -1 -2 -3/ -1 -2 -3/ -1 -2 -3 The root note of the phrase changes over time.

[@jeffreyvsco]

this drum set is cleaaaan! nice video btw

[@simongalle3810]

best explaination on the tube! thanx!

[@saladking2370]

Your kick sounds amazing. What kind of heads are you using for it? :p

[@broadswordmarchingpercussi1153]

+Cesar Moreno Lol so right

[@AsteroidB-ub4ps]

Excellent video, very helpful to me as a piano player working on Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu :P

[@MTheoOA]

Close To the Edge intro ( the best stuff ever )

[@dgfcl56ify]

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! :)

[@donwhildin6375]

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

[@Mightyhumungus]

another great vid thx

[@Flaggag]

Love you, guy!!!

[@frigidpony]

Funny how many drummers have difficulty with breaking out of a straight four. I am a guitarist and had to sit down at the drummer's kit to demonstrate a bossa nova beat that was 3 over 4. A lot of clave in latin music is in the same meter.

[@SONORSQ2guy]

I think the provided chart is backwards.

[@Booskop.]

When played in 3 bars, it's called a polymeter, when repeated every bar (triplets over 16th notes) THEN it's polyrhythm.

[@alamooji3716]

great great video bro!

[@julianb4245]

I only use polyrhythms with piano, but this video makes me want to try it on the drums!

[@dannybeastinonya]

the song Devil's Island by Architects has this same 4 over 3 polyrhythm. I can play it and i didnt even realize that it was a polyrhythm.

[@lucien04100]

man you have superpower!

[@gwajenlonrengma1674]

Sir How to groove with this time signature

[@KM-px8cs]

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

[@Quiestre]

man I want the tab for the very first intro beat that sounds awesome can't write it...

[@BHIPHOP91]

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

[@NovakiSalem]

Those acrylics sound nice

[@TheSodaLake]

The majority of music being in 4/4, this is of much greater use.

[@diegobriones8078]

Can somebody explain the time signature?

[@Twisted666Freak]

WHen he played the drum beat !!! i never knew there comes a instance indruming where u hit snare kick and hi hats at the same time wowww awsomeeeee vidsssssssss

[@baqxaxeqqe]

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

[@fedebondieula]

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

[@gigalulmansur]

7:16 8:12 so I can loop em

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

super easy!

[@AtotheKnowles]

Ugh this is so easy could you please do some more advanced tutorials!!!

[@orkmad12]

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

[@sharpsharp5555]

I'm left handed as well, but I play a "right handed" set up generally leading left hand. LOL

[@doublebass1985]

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...

[@OWoodMusic]

But wouldn't you play 3 over 4 over the whole bar? So using triplet quavers rather than playing 4 dotted quavers over 3 crotchets? It seems like odd notation :P

[@jeosterberg]

JAMBI!!

[@sharkoj]

ÆNIMA!!

[@amirmirou8037]

Is there a 3 over 4 rythm ?

[@joelcoool]

It's the same thing

[@amirmirou8037]

+ThunderHawk606 hhh i kinda figured it out when i watched 5 against 4 but thnx :D

[@dixienormous6052]

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

[@estadisticagamatelo9731]

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

[@spudmagnum7394]

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

[@WHY70122]

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

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxya9604]

if you try you can learn it just by tapping, its not as hard as it seems!

[@Theseventhknight]

this is more a 3:4 (or 6:4 in the case of that last pattern) than 4:3...

[@drummer542]

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.

[@iiAxis]

yay i have a transparent kit too :D

[@Gigadrane]

Beginning sounds like the Grand Conjuration by Opeth on the chorus.

[@StudentMarioGrandinetti]

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

[@sharpsharp5555]

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

[@drummer542]

I can play 4 at one time-Search John Abraham on You Tube playing "3/4 Samba with African Rhythms"

[@pibroch]

@@drummer542 Have you tried playing one of those 4 rhythms gradually speeding up or slowing down while keeping the other 3 steady? If not try it - it's easy and somewhat fun.

[@drummer542]

@@pibroch No, never tried that,

[@BoundInChains]

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

[@6opoDuJIo]

Well, it's 4 over 3, but (as far as I understand) you can play this with any note length, quarter, eiths, etc. But those particular are "4 over 3 quarter notes"

[@asiangirlslover1]

Isnt he playing a 3 over 4 poly rhythm? because the 4 is the downbeat in 4/4

[@control_bear]

6:09 me too!

[@zwajph8620]

You can check out our "Cadavre Exquis" as an exemple : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWiVd2Sjms98l6M The only rule was - playing 3 against 4 and pass the last 20" to the next one.

[@Exosphere02]

Now let's challenge ourselves and play the polyrhythm solo from "Euology," by Tool! :D

[@SmileysRevenge100]

We Can Keep The Rhythm!

[@Sollasedo]

im not gay, but i wanna say i love u, for this useful video~!

[@sspiros1216]

Not very difficult and that beat sounds so sick. great tutorial!

[@GustyWizard]

4:38 you say you will do 3 on the kick, 4 on the hat. You do it the wrong way around :p

[@keagankeagankeagan]

dude fuck this i wanna know how you found the lcd of 4/3 so fast

[@marcusbrown87]

Pass The God Damn Butter

[@FernandMaC]

Marcus Brown yea boii!

[@dracolich345]

the constants have to be individual for it to technically be a polyrythm. This guy isn't thinking of it like that (or so it seems)

[@HalfEvilTripl3]

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.

[@kevinfrazee7690]

That's the truth! The x's in a box is only going to make it harder for those who don't already have this mastered. I was going to leave the same comment until I saw your comment

[@misanthropy4569]

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

[@kynancecove]

KUDOS to you my Brother I love your approach to a subject that gives our noggin an independance a workout the very best Langz & BOZZIO's among our beautiful brotherhood of the b e a t have issues with certainly they really sound like one has taken tips from the Ancient red pitchfork wielder simply put they do soud amazing they can sound STEREO TOO! Ive found

[@joeytroiaiii6915]

if you want you can just say, "Eat yu goddam spinach."

[@musicforDRUMIES]

I'll do it while driving >:D

[@nikhilraj8881]

is this what danney carey does to twist our minds?

[@carnap355]

It sounds better when you play snare each 3

[@Drewowns14]

super super easy

[@takuzhenhao]

Kinda like the intro of Move Along - All American Rejects.
