In this lesson, learn how to count and use the three most useful Polyrhythms in drumming.
NOTE: At 2:50 I'm playing the 3:2 polyrhythms between the pedal hat and kick, the 3:4 Poly is happening between the kick and right hand... oops!

3:4 Polyrhythm will always be “pass the goddamn butter” in my brain 😂

[@roloduarte3100]

This is the best lesson on polyrhythms I've ever seen.

[@gatocomcirrose]

lmao i just noticed that some of the gospel chops fills that i've learned are actually 5:4 polyrhythms

[@borndrumming1972]

Shhh..we don't talk about the odd metered polyrhythmic linear rudiments..🙃

[@aestheticwolf7769]

Do you hace videos playing those kind of chops?

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Thanks Jay, for breaking down my favourite section of Exile! I finally know what’s inside the hot dog 🌭 lol Brilliant lesson, man 🏆

[@davinclark9736]

That groove in Exile has always sent me thru a loop. Thanks for the insight!

[@Zachary_Sweis]

I love the idea of a 2 over 3 and 3 over 4 happening at the exact same time. Pass the Goddamn Bells of Butter, Carol!

[@gustavoremorofficial9774]

great, clear explanation of a complex concept.I like how you build the drum rhythms on top of 5over4 . thanks for making the video.

[@GODElRigna]

The feeling of the rhythm is truly one of the key factors to elevating your understanding. Well done Jay.

[@8020drummer]

Great lesson!

[@haydenstadler]

I LOVE HOW THE SNARE SOUNDS OMG

[@hugorezende199]

Must be one of the best polyrythm videos explanations for drummer on youtube. This is easy for jay, maybe he has a hard time playing straight 4/4 beats haaha

[@JayTesseracT]

Would you believe, most TesseracT songs are 4/4 - we're just messing with odd-timed ostinatos 😎

[@Poisonjam7]

Something I learned from an Adam Neely video: You can assign phrases to polyrhythms where the syllables line up with the overall polyrhythm. 3/4: Pass the goddamn butter 5/4: I’m looking for a home to buy 3/2: Doesn’t have a phrase, but it’s just Carol of the Bells. Everyone knows that song. 😅

[@oumarh.gassama8063]

I love when a great drummer is also a great teacher. You are definitely both. Thanks for this video!

[@S3lvah]

Was at your concert in Helsinki, and was astounded by the combination of accuracy and groove in your drumming. Would definitely be interested in the drum lessons if I had that much money and time to spend on just one hobby 😅

[@allex1309]

Explained in a clear fashion , great teacher !

[@jsdrummer91]

Instant Subscribe. This broke it down so simply .. something that - conceptually sounds so intimidating, but on paper, is actually quite simple.

[@Don19762]

Wish I knew this stuff 35 years ago! Always wondered how drummers were able to play these things. Cheers for this great video.

[@OMGwtgfhgg]

Love the sneaky 5:4 polyrhythm at 3:52 instead of the 3:4 that, nice way to check we're paying attention like the good wee rhythm section we all are. I'm sure we all noticed that, right class?

[@JayTesseracT]

Yeh that’s the second blooper in this vid that I’ve spotted since uploading it 😂

[@the1khronohs40]

Oh, man! Why didn’t I find this channel earlier? This is GOOD stuff! No fuzz, just arrow straight to the point, with really simple and easy to follow directions and steps! Fantastic job sir! I am a huge fan of this kind of stuff and use polyrhythms, ploymeters, meter shifts and modulations all the time. But I love watching how other people work with this and think about it. Sometimes I pick up stuff that unlocks or simplifies things I already do, or strive for. I of course know Tesseract already but did not catch that it was you in this video when I clicked on it! Instant sub, and definitely binge watching everything on your channel! Cheers!

[@grw13]

I’ve never seen it charted out like that, but it makes perfect sense. That’s amazing, thank you for that!

[@OpenSafe17.11]

Thanks for this lesson. I have been teaching drums for 5 years, and I definitely learned something!

[@BrunoFerreira-zs8st]

Tremenda catedra... Gracias Jay!

[@WillHatton]

Dropping absolute gems! Thanks Jay!

[@Professional.Bro.777]

I've been waiting for this lesson for ages!

[@PierreVilleneuve88]

I have so much respect for Mr Postones. He is so talented and inspiring. Thanks for all the great tracks you create!

[@justinvolution]

Thanks for breaking this down for me 😊

[@thehumblekingdom]

Amazing vid well done.

[@djonylopes4503]

I love the way Jay explains this concept 🤘🏽🤯

[@ZrankFappaH]

Saw you at rock city in Nottingham recently and damn you were absolutely sick bro

[@russelmalapitan]

alien knowledge is shared. We always thank you Jay.

[@bigpleys2688]

The hollow was damn crazy song.

[@petegrusky2715]

Cool grooves! Worth to mention Ray Hearne, with polyrhythms and general riff creations. Love polyrhythms, it's my favorite thing.

[@Nat1Ka]

next level way of teaching drums

[@ehdrums91]

Sensacional 🎉🎉🎉

[@the1khronohs40]

Might I be bold as to say that, you sir feel like the ‘Nolly’ of drums. That is meant as a great compliment!

[@JonathanTaylorW]

cheers boss!

[@JJ.metalmusic]

best drummer

[@mrlnstrousden]

Very nice 👌

[@nuke97]

Hearing polyrhythms applied as legit grooves is key!

[@aaronsparks9012]

Makes my feet hurt just listening too it, but I really enjoyed this one, I got half way through the lesson until I was like Hugh!!! Anyways, thanks Jay...🤯😱🤘

[@singaporeghostclub]

Tomas Haake approves this lesson

[@ThatOneGuyWithAReallyLongName.]

For anyone who would like to hear a killer 5/4 drum beat, check out Kas$cade by Animals as Leaders if you haven't yet! The intro, up to about 0:30 into the song, demonstrates a 5/4 beat and some interesting fill ideas based around 16th notes with quintuplet accents. Super fun riff to play, too.

[@ymerejarabar1451]

great

[@RDL1968]

Great. That chart you had shown..why not have a download able chart for all 3 polyrhythms

[@nextorx]

Fantastic stuff dude! I don't suppose you'd be willing to share your Supperior Drummer 3 Preset you're using? It sounds awesome! Happy to pay for it too! :D

[@jimmyb2655]

the 5:4 example sounds like a Tool intro from a different universe

[@JbskMsj]

Can you make a video on how to play triplets using heel toe, been trying for months and cant figure it out, 16th notes are fine, just can't play triplets

[@sempthegreat]

On the 3 over 4, just remember Justin Chancellor from Tool's phrase: Pass the god damn butter!

[@ouie-fl4qo]

Was coined way before him but okay

[@sempthegreat]

@@ouie-fl4qo Ok bro. Maybe I heard it from him first?

[@listnchild1]

That’s literally how I learned it too 😂

[@tmrogers87]

Pass the fucking butter 4:13

[@burrow4408]

😂

[@Ben_19M]

MESHUGGAH!!!!!!!!

[@jamesclayton1241]

Ooofffff

[@VoxMonstra]

7 | 11 groove in album 6?

[@bryanbryan6108]

Does it take people a while to learn these?

[@alexshel8578]

привет!

[@PoolNoodleGundam]

Oh so THAT's how you play Hollow

[@peterbeutlin2147]

Lovely lesson Jay.... However at 2:50 it's 3:4, not 2:3...

[@Ironsvillage]

I thought I was tripping, yeah it definitely is a 3:4. Everyone makes mistakes and that's fine. Another 2:3 would be in Phoenix between hi-hat and ride/china

[@JayTesseracT]

You're absolutely correct - the 3:2 happens between the pedal hat and kick... oops! I'll add a disclaimer

[@peterbeutlin2147]

No problem man. Great lesson though! Like everything else you do:)

[@MultiEchelon]

Its very usefull. Thank best drummer in the world 🫂

[@kosk3432]

hi Jay! thanks for the content. one question - what about 3 over 5 do you use this pattern, maybe have some exfmples and how to? )
