Her personality is refreshing and highly attractive as is she. However... did you say oddly attractive because most drummers are ogres? Or are you saying you find yourself attracted to her and it's odd because she isn't your normal type and you don't know why?

It really helps to divide the beat as 4+3. One-two-three-four/one-two-three. Not sure why but it's just easier to phrase it in your head.
@Pungzor10 ай бұрын
Yeah, I use to do that a lot when I encounter a 7/8 or a 9/8 for example. It's quite handy.
@Pungzor10 ай бұрын
So for example 7/8: 1-2-3-4/1-2-3 or 1-2-3/1-2-3-4 9/8: 1-2-3-4/1-2/1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4/1-2-3/1-2 depends on the rhythm and melody/riff of the song :)

A great tip I once got from a drummer is to not pronounce the whole word "seven" when counting seven. Just use the syllable "sev". Makes it easier to feel the one.

For beginners don't count for "seven", that's two beats (two syllables) count as "sev". Don't make that a habit to say "seven"! It will screw you up 😂.

I saw Rod Morganstein doing a drum clinic. He said to count 7/8 as, "One,Two,Three, four,five,six,SEV,One,Two,etc". Otherwise you can find yourself counting it as "... Five, Six, Sev-en" and you're back in 4/4 again.

I like to take a 4/4 "Rock Beat 1" (i.e. kick snare kick snare, 8ths on the hats), and just cut the end off for a kind of record skip: 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.... Once you've got used to that weird "jump" feel, open the hi-hat on the 1. Combine the two and it sounds tasty and advanced, but it's pretty simple to do.

I don't really think about time signatures when I'm drumming, a lot of the time I don't even know what I'm playing. The most interesting thing about this video for me is that I already play the second two beats that you showed, but the first one actually seems trickier to me, even though I'm sure it's the easiest. 🤷♀️
@stereofidelic672 ай бұрын
I think a better way to do 7/8 is to count it as you would 4/4 because 7/8 is basically one less than 8/8 - and 8/8 is the same as 4/4. So to count 7/8 it would be 1+2+3+4, 1+2+3+4 etc. You just don't play the + of 4. In fact this method works with other /8 time signatures. However, how many guitarist singer / songwriters actually ever write songs in 7/8 for us to groove to? Unfortunately we can't all be in King Gizzard! lol
@nickphipp194911 ай бұрын
It doesn't matter that the 7/8 pattern is written in 8th notes. It's always the top number (the numerator) that is counted, regardless of the bottom number (the denominator).

The last beat is insanely tricky. First I tried just the left and right hand, without the accents, but I quickly lost track of the beat. I realized that if you really focus on playing the accents louder than the ghost notes it is very easy to keep track of the beat. Next I tried playing just the kick and snare, and this is easy enough. But I cannot put it all together. I did notice that adding the kick on only the 1 beat is pretty easy and is also helpful to keep track of the beat. But I cannot play all the kicks or I just lose it. Also not to mention I cannot play any of this at the speed she is doing in the video 😂
