Camille Bigeault - Mental web

3 years ago I tried a 5 against 7 polymeter, and as I thought it made a cool original rhythm, I imagined a guitar riff that played it on a loop while I started to jam on it on the drums. As a result, it created this composition called Mental Web. Always the same riff, but atmospheres and harmonies change while I play around the riff in different meters: in 5 (to fit the 5 part of the polymeter), in 7 (to fit the 7 part), in 4/4, in 6/8, in 4/2. The riff sounds different through each meter as they emphasizes different parts of it. I hope you enjoy!

Her pants don’t look long enough to have pockets THIS deep. Wild.

[@M2Mil7er]

I'm so blown away by this. Some of the best drumming I've ever witnessed.

[@bertberw8653]

For real, I can't wrap my head around how awesome Camille is

[@Diesel_Budgie]

Same, it's so chill and kind of understated in execution, but musically it is absolutely mental, just next-level drumming and excellent compostition. And she has such a tasteful touch and style on the kit!

[@bertberw8653]

Holy shit I'm speechless

[@aleithiatoews6452]

My daughter (a guitarist and singer) is infatuated with polymeter and I love sending her your videos.

[@Mehmnoch]

I have no word that match my feelings when I listen to this music. My 2024 song so far. Stunning.

[@CamilleBigeault]

Thank you. Reading that really encourages me to keep going!

[@williamperri3437]

@@CamilleBigeaultYou’re a very mature excellent player with amazing tone and great colors.

[@joc8]

So musical, so balanced, so dynamic, excellent playing! Thank you.

[@PinoBatMusicDrums15]

The queen of the drums 🥰🥰👍👍👏👏👏🤗🤗

[@Diesel_Budgie]

You could reinvigorate Tesseract. And they're still pretty vigorous. But you know what, don't. Here on KZbin, you've been showing us your building blocks for years. Now the architect is starting to see her works come together. I honestly have not heard musical drumming like this from anyone else. You've blown my mind, and I'm a hardcore Matt Garstka fan.

[@Shakti_hakankutluk]

What a complex rhythm and awesome 👏👏👏👏

[@JartoKuhira]

I read the description and I hadn’t even noticed that the guitar part is just the same loop all throughout the song. It’s incredible how the rhythmic changes and the way you adapt your drumming to them (with a lot of taste!) completely drive the emotions of the song. Every meter feels different. Awesome showcasing of how technique can contribute to musicality instead of overplaying. Merci Camille pour cette expérience musicale, je suis impatient de découvrir tes nouvelles compositions à l’avenir !

[@triprack]

O.M.G.

[@Thedeepseanomad]

That really hits the spot! Sweeet! Great performance all around Camille!

[@michaelevans9881]

Those jeans are now my favorite color and style.. thanks a lot for not only fashion but rhythm and stick it style.. keep jamming on with that high-hat skill level..🥁

[@michaelevans9881]

There you are with that beautiful battlefield face..🥁🥁🥁💪💪

[@thexen3120]

Some of the best drumming Iv'e seen in 50 years. Incredible!

[@Arschkekserisch]

can´t stop listening to this. it´s f***ing amazing. it´s like a massage or tickling for my brain whilst deeply touching my heart. thank you for this amazing piece of music!

[@pazenmaz]

Just ordered Camille’s book on polyrhythms can’t wait to dive in!

[@fl00d69]

Percussive divinity right here. Never subbed so fast.

[@Jimmythedrumteacher]

Emotions

[@uli.ilustra]

Maybe one of the most difficult drums line I ever se in my life. Another level of skill here 😮😮😮 is just impossible for me to reproduce the first minute of this song.

[@jonward-g3z]

What is time? this is like a new perspective of reality taken from the most simple heart beat and expanded beyond what most people can even imagine. polyrhythm. I love this constant boundary pushing and exploration in music while the mainstream haven't gotten past the heart beat basics.

[@vincdrum9511]

la sensation de release dès qu'ya le backbeat sur 2 et 4 et en half time c'est vraiment très très bon , super vibe en général , vraiment chapeau ! ! ! l

[@fredericzanone5379]

Excellent

[@drumpetbass]

4:20 Polyrhythmic stank face ftw

[@haypayne8937]

I just knew someone was gonna say that shit.

[@Itsallwrongbutthatsallright]

She's awesome, next level drumming ! TY Camille

[@roxxo38]

Sounds like Leprous, love it

[@PurpleDreki]

I watched this about twenty times. I fell into it. Really stunning work!. Nice polys! I feel 6/4 in spots. Cool alternating time sigs.

[@JeremyBorumComposer]

DAMN! Intelligent and groovy at the same time.

[@wannabeadrummer]

A different class, outstanding drummer

[@jocerandal]

Génial ! Ton approche et ta musique sont très inspirantes. J'adore.

[@hommerecorder7003]

Veryi cool! ❤Thanks

[@johnFXabercrombie]

I am moved by this song and by your playing of it. The intricate polyrhythms have my head bobbing and my foot tapping. I tried finding this song on Spotify but couldn't. I have this song on repeat and wanna add it to my Spotify playlist!!

[@CamilleBigeault]

Thank you very much! I have not released a studio version yet on the streaming platforms, but I intend to do so before 2025. I'll let you know! :)

[@afrigal2420]

More than cool, I love such sounds and grooves. Great music for me!! udo

[@nixneato]

This is REALLY impressive. All aspects of it, the composition is fantastic, one of the hardest things in music is combining advanced writing with musicality and emotion. This does it beautifully. Then there is the drumming itself, which deserves all the praise in the world.

[@michaelevans9881]

I just wanted to also say with the polyrhythm going over dancing with the flood kind of overlapping it sounds pretty cool.. I listened to both parts at the same time and it was amazing

[@debraleong5519]

I LOVE THIS!!!!@❤

[@tommysonnier9848]

Bravo! Very mental drumming. I could see very clearly your different meters and the sound compared to the riff just as you said. A drummer has to really get into his head to play what you played. Sounded musical as well. Very high level of play. Much appreciated.

[@anthonyaird]

KICK ASS DRUMMING!!! Wow!!

[@CamilleBigeault]

Thank you so much, that means a lot 😯🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@CamilleBigeault]

Thanks! But who did you watch playing this? Since it's my composition I'm not sure other people play it haha

[@MeditaMusic_relax]

WOOOOOWWWW! That was impressive!!

[@sean4439]

goose bumps....

[@rccc5806]

Playing the drums 👏👏

[@inwintermmti]

I like that she’s using a super star classic as it’s more affordable to the average drummer like myself . Very clean and dynamic performance!

[@francoisdelestre1728]

Hyper conceptuel. Ta musique me retourne l’esprit à chaque fois. Merci Camille !

[@shen1658]

[@Marcodrummerforever]

Hello Camille ! Félicitations ! C'est toujours aussi génial ! Ce passage à 2:38 entre main droite sur le stack et main gauche entre charley et caisse claire c'est une dinguerie.... J'imagine bien aussi la torture mentale que ça requiert !😂😂 En espérant avoir la chance de te voir en live prochainement ! Marco

[@unirreductibleathee8467]

Drum Goddess strikes again.

[@TheVermifuge]

That repeating ‘ding-ding-ding’ note the backing track sounds like the car door is has been left open lol. Creative drumming from such a talented artist.

[@digitprod.1785]

Incroyable et magnifique !! Bravo Camille !!

[@hubertried19]

you are a polybeast !!

[@maxhorbank7407]

[@ShibaInuDogTricks]

Mental web fits this piece so well. It definitely had me caught in the web 🕸🕷

[@willeatsmusic]

This feels so new and exciting, I appreciate the power you bring to the musical environment to make very rhythmically complex music so so so listenable and groovy. Thank you!
