Metric Modulation - Daily Drum Lesson

In this Drum Lesson we will tackle a more difficult topic. Metric Modulation - it is a way to increase or decrease the tempo of a groove. This is not something you will hear in your everyday music, but it will greatly improve your sense of time and your ability to play to a click.

I have been drumming for 10+ years, self taught and you my friend have been answering a lot of my questions about drumming. You are amazing, love your videos, blessings 🙏🙏

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thank you so much, James! Really appreciated!

[@KrystianStewart-Hart]

Your videos have a pragmatic approach that makes learning fun, challenging, and relevant to my intermediate playing.

[@rorymayne2190]

Such a valuable lesson! Thank you!

[@davidfreeman4211]

Well done. A clear step by step explanation of metric modulation with written notation along with the playing. Thank you!

[@DailyDrumLesson]

You are very welcome, this is actually my favorite lesson so far, but it is getting very few attention, so I am always very happy when somebody likes it ;-)

[@daljeetghag3321]

Brilliant as always

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thank you very much!

Great lesson!

Thanks Edwin!

Just started incorporating these techniques. Love the math challenge between my brain and my limbs! So glad I subscribed, I'm getting suggestions for more of your older videos!

[@gmoney1592]

Another great lesson. Very useful .changing tempos can be a little confusing sometimes. These exercises will definitely help. Good stuff as always . Thank you

[@nicholighkun]

Hey man! I felt like giving you a run down of what I'm working on. Not sure if sharing it will be helpful to either one of us, but here we go. Using my digital music making program (Rytmik Studio) on my laptop, I re-created all of the beats from your 8th note grooves I and II videos. I also used Microsoft Excel to create my own drum staff, so that I could write each drum beat out. I printed all 8 pages, taped them together and framed it. Each drum beat has a time stamp so that I can easily see where to skip to in the drum track if I want to play a particular beat. I'm playing on a 6 string bass btw. As for my technique, when the only thing being played on the drums is the hi-hat, I mute my high strings and strike them with my fingernail, in a similar motion to how a guitarist strums with a pick, but more of a strike than a strum. This gives a similar sound to match the hi-hat. When a kick drum hits I slap the open E string with my thumb. And when the snare hits I pop the D string. It has taken me longer than I thought it would, just to get comfortable with each drum beat. The beats with 16th notes has been particularly tricky; going from the nail strike to a pop quickly takes some practice because they both utilize the fingers. So far I'm focusing on just the kick snare and hi-hat, but eventually I'd like to have techniques for the ride, crash and toms. I'd also like to have more than one option for each drum sound. This isn't the kind of thing that would sound good if it were done constantly; that would probably sound too mechanical, but I'm hoping it will help me think like a drummer, so that I can better fuse with any player. I also just got a practice pad and I plan on practicing rudiments. Maybe not all, but at least those that are most commonly utilized. I plan on learning (and hopefully mastering) all of the Paradiddles, including the Flam and Drag versions. If you could recommend the most useful rudiments to learn, what would they be, besides the ones I mentioned? Obviously I'll spend time the Flam and Drag rudiments when learning the Paradiddle versions. So my two questions for now are: (1) what rudiments do you recommend for maximum application, and (2) is there a free, and easy to use program for writing music staff that you might recommend. If not free, then just a name or two of good programs would help. Excel works fine for drum staff, but it's hard to make nice looking rest icons, and also if I were to need Bass, Treble or Alto clef's I wouldn't be able to make a decent looking icon for those either. Thanks for any input, I greatly appreciate your time and efforts. PS I uploaded my drum track to the Rytmik cloud via the program, but I left it unlocked for anyone to alter, and I gave you credit by your KZbin account name, and the names of the two videos. If you're not okay with that I can take them down. I didn't think to ask permission before uploading it because I saw it as promotion for your channel, but I then figured I should let you know, just in case you wanted me to take it down for some reason.

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Sorry for the late reply, I have been very busy the last couple of weeks. I think it is so cool that you apply the drum grooves to the bass. I'd love to hear that! You should do some videos on "how to think like a drummer - for bass players"! What the most important Rudiments are is very subjective. But I'd say: Single Strokes Double Strokes (you basically get all Rolls for free.. 5's, 7's, 9's etc) Single Paradiddle Six Stroke Roll Flam Accent These are the ones I use the most. For Notation I use Finale Printmusic, but it is not free. What's also really cool (and free) is Lilypond. It is a bit tricky until you get used to it, but it is really powerful!

[@nicholighkun]

@@DailyDrumLesson Awesome! Thank you! I want to learn to read and write staff as well. Your videos have actually helped spark that, and they've helped me get pretty used to drum staff.

[@buddyrichable1]

nicholighkun I think your approach is pretty cool. It would be very interesting if you could find a drummer who would collaborate with you to develop some interplay and patterns. What a learning experience for you both. Then you could make a video on the concept.

[@ARDrummer]

Nicely explained! Great upload

Thank you AR!

Interesting concept...got it...I'm a music teacher...i play quite a number of instruments so I grasped it quickly...keep up the good work!

[@DailyDrumLesson]

yeah, when you already got some understanding in music theory it is not too hard.. What instruments do you play?

Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching!

Great explanation and break down. Easily to be understood by me

Great to hear that, thank you for watching!

[@FrankPCarpi]

Thank you for sharing your talent, and techniques. It definitely pushes the independence of coordination, and it sounds interesting, but I don't recall ever hearing it in a song. Could you please show any examples of this?

[@apolloeliascreed82]

Nice lesson, this type of exercises are very interesting, good job :)))

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Thanks Apollo!

You are my the best teacher. Regards.

[@DailyDrumLesson]

thank you so much, Artur!

[@nicholighkun]

Okay, I've watched this video twice, and I've started making a digital drum track using your compositions, so I understand this much better than I did the first time. Still, I have to admit that this is one of those topics that is just difficult to fully comprehend and put into practice. God willing, I'll keep at it though. I still have to compose your last two grooves, so maybe after that I will understand it a little better. Plus I somehow missed the first polyrhythm video, which I'm about to go watch, I'm sure that will help too.

[@DailyDrumLesson]

As I said, this stuff is difficult and takes a time to get your head around. Creating these grooves in your DAW is a great idea and probably will help you a lot! Really appreciate you hanging out here, buddy!

I thought you were saying ponyrhythms which was spacing me out a touch as I was wondering why I had never heard the term. 🐴 Keep on playing those ponyrhythms...

haha, ponyrhythms are the best

Is it possible to do implied metric modulation with other timings? Like 6/8 [3/4] etc. Www.soundcloud.com/auden_orbit/humanity
