𝄞 There is so much music that has yet to be made in the uncharted territory of odd time signatures/meters. When the bar only has three, five, or seven beats, all of a sudden the simplest of musical ideas take on a whole new rhythmically interesting life. I used some of the drum patterns from my Drums that Vibe Pack/Ebook to create three beats; one in 3/4, one in 5/4 and one in 7/4. I kept the sound choice pretty simple by using my Fretless Bass and Fender Rhodes Electric Piano to create the bass lines and chords. This will allow you to imagine how you might apply your own style and sound choices to these rhythmic drum ideas. 𝄢

These are some ridiculously cool grooves, I hope you make songs out of each of these cause I would gladly listen to those everyday.

Just the simple concept of applying geometric shapes to time signiatures alone has blown my head wide open, like how the hell did I never think about using it to help keep a visual track of time without counting out beats in my head???

[@Stickytacos666]

you are better off just breaking it all down to 2's and 3's. This kinda stuff is just good for video

This is the kind of stuff I aspire to write in my jazz pop fusion band. In the future, I predict that 4/4 may be less and less clung to as listeners evolve to hear newer meters. There are infinitely many meters.

[@alexchimi7093]

there are, but 8/4 and 4/4 are very hard to distinguish. the more complex you get, the harder the brain clings to whatever pattern there is. Adam Neely's video on "The Psychology of Extreme Rhythms" explains it very well

had no idea odd time signatures could soudn THIS good. a lot of songs end up sounding awkward but this is nice.

Very cool beats. I don't have a formal music education but I've been messing around in odd time signatures lately and this was very informative and has given me some ideas on how to expand some of the pieces I've been working on

5/4 pattern utilizes the rhythm which seems a lot more like quintuplet groove (perhaps it could be 5/8 or in some cases 5/16). I like how the 3rd part has more of a 7/8 groove

[@raresplays969]

i felt it was more of a 10/8 beat (3+3+2+2) if it makes sense

[@oddsynth]

@@raresplays969 I can hear sorta 3+2+3+2 (10/8 with snare in the middle) in the drums but now relistening with melodic parts I can see how they follow the pattern you described so it's tricky! kinda like both at the same time

[@oddsynth]

it's so fun to switch perception with these grooves, being able to hear it in several different ways

If you add the right distortion, add bit of reverb, slow down the bpm, the 7/4 beat becomes a backrooms ost

[@MGCaverly]

Very interesting and well presented. I’m not sure about the first foray into 3/4 time sig, it sounds more like 6/8 to me, but I’m not an expert. The visual metronome is excellent, but personally I would prefer an audible one as well - at least for a few cycles. Regards.

[@annaharmusic]

This is unreal man! Is the third beat not 7/8 rather than 7/4 though? Also 3/4 isn’t usually my thing but this bops, love it ☺️

[@oddsynth]

yes it's a lot like 7/8 (but written in 7/4). though, if you trick your brain to focus on quarter notes it starts to sound a bit different maybe because 3/4 is usually made as 'waltz' and accents on 3?

[@daviddelrio3183]

what are the chords in 3:30?

[@markl2804]

Awesome content! Any recommendations for developing a feel in odd time signatures? Clearly 4/4 is what western music is based on and what I grew up listening to. Id like to be able to improvise and freely create in other time signatures.

[@oddsynth]

You can break up the time signature you have into simpler parts, for example you can treat 7/4 as 4/4 followed by 3/4 (and more complex scenarios). That way, it'll be easier to follow with. Or you can think of it as skipping a beat if you want. For improvisation, just familiarize yourself with the groove and I think it'll come easier with practice

[@b-r-a-i-n-r-o-t]

i like putting a couple elements down to almost treat like a metronome which lets me pull a pulse out to wrap other elements around. so treating maybe a kick, snare, or riff as your "clock" and getting a pulse out of it that way

[@giddycadet]

Find music in odd time signatures! Two great bands to listen to are Tool and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - the Gizz are the ones I'm a fan of and they use 5/4 and 7/4 CONSTANTLY

[@giddycadet]

also yeah it helps to find a specific musical phrase that you can freely apply to a given time signature. I use Gizz's Nonagon motif for 7/4

[@lependu4009]

cool young man, where do i find this full beats?
