Quintuplets are all the rage. More musicians than ever are embracing the use of 5's, 7's, and larger tuplets. But what are the origins of these trendy rhythms, and how do we play them? In this video, we explore all this and more.

I’m glad Shaun mentioned J Dilla, as thats what instantly comes to my mind anytime I hear a quintuplet beat. Old school 90s hip hop that lags and slides around the beat.

Hey Shawn! I've been trying to find someplaylist or forum where people listed quintuplet swing songs for more than an year now, so I'm super happy that your making this playlist, specially since you'll know well what is or isn't quintuplet (/septuplet/n-tuplet) swing. I have some suggestions, though I'm not a drummer and haven't gone into detail trying to figure out if these are actually quintuplet swing or just unquantized feel: Alfa Mist - Sunrise (Pillows) ...I'm nearly completely sure this one is QS Anderson Paak. - Heart Don't Stand A Chance ...The main part of this one I'm pretty sure as well Hiatus Kayote - Jekyll ...The end I believe is in quintuplet Hiatus Kayote - Fingerprints ... This one I'm not sure, but it gives me a similar feeling that's why i believe it is and then parts of Hiatus Kayote's Molasses and Swamp Thing

[@CaeSharp]

Its nice to think of meters as combinations of 1s, 2s and 3s for sticking. Its nice to think of meters as binary for going through the combinations of accentuation. eg. 00000 10000 01000 11000 00100 10100 0100 11100 (accent 1s) Its nice to think of odd meters as polyrythms for realitycheck, eg. im wondering if Im playing the gnawa rythm (4+3+3) right, accent every fourth beat so that the different meters meet the second time.

[@cjampcj]

That binary accentuation is something I really like! Thanks for exposing me to it!

[@craigmccomish3758]

"19/16" Me, in Ireland: "Nice"

[@Gnurklesquimp]

I find that quintuplets are incredibly flexible when it comes to going off the grid by playing most notes early or late, it's one of my favorite ''templates'' to mess around with to get many different feels. A simple even swinging pattern always has this jump with odd rhythms, by going off the grid you can ease that jump and even justify placing it in the middle of the rhythm rather than at the end. I only recently learned about nested tuplets, these can also really cool for changing certain gaps when a certain section of rhythm doesn't quite lead into another.

[@chrisv3799]

I'm so glad you're doing these types of videos! I love the format but focusing on the rhythm side of music, I think there is a wealth of theory videos that don't cover enough of this so thank you!

Great video as usual, a favourite trick of mine is to play the big laid back quintuplet swing and then switch to quick 5/8 licks as RLRLK or RLRLL blazing around and then back to the laid back feel while keeping to the quintuplet grid. The contast is killer.

[@tarif.8331]

Shawn! Very informative video and downloaded your playlist. I'm currently taking up drums and learning different shuffles and swings as well as analyzing how they're used in certain songs. Wanted to know if the swing going on in Hiatus Kaiyote's Swamp Thing could be considered a touplet swing or not??

[@myxfit]

"We tend to like things that are familiar to us, and dislike things that are not" - I'm not sure I agree, at least from my personal experience. One thing I've noticed about my tastes in music is that I'm drawn towards music that I can't mentally "predict" - i.e. that is not familiar to me. The longer it takes for me to become familiar with it, the more I like it. One of the first songs I remember that I noticed this with was "Tetsuo" from the Akira soundtrack. There's a lot of unpredictable rhythms in there, and it probably took me.. dozens or even hundreds of listens to get comfortable enough with the music so that I could accurately mentally predict what was coming up - and I absolutely loved it. The same experience has happened to me on many occasions since. A lot of Michael Gordon's work is like that for me too. e.g. his "Vincent van Gogh" opera. It's those songs, or those parts of songs that I tend to be drawn to the most.

[@ShalerMelee]

I agree with this completely

[@TheSquareOnes]

It's true in general, which is different from saying it's true for every individual. Even so the point isn't "people don't like things they aren't 100% familiar with," which is obviously wrong otherwise nobody would ever want to experience any new ever, but rather than people are more likely to like something the more familiar they are. So for that song you might have been caught completely off-guard by the rhythms but you're probably still familiar with the types of instruments used, with the system of tonality, with the concept of recorded sound as an artform and so on. Unless you were just born it wouldn't have been entirely alien to you so you had some familiarity to latch onto while experiencing the unfamiliar.

[@ShawnCrowder]

Yes! I agree we need a certain amount of unpredictability. Otherwise it'd be boring. I've experienced the same thing with Afro-Cuban music - where the timing is not quantized, and thus a bit unpredictable. And that's exciting! The main thing I've noticed in my experience is that certain "complex" music grows on me over time. I might not like it initially, but I grow to really love it after many listens. As a teenager, for example, I used to be put off by some of Dream Theater's meter changes. It was too unpredictable, so it took several listens to appreciate. But these days, since those rhythms are all quite familiar, nothing really phases me on the first listen. Even though I don't know the meter changes in advance, I'm still hearing "familiar" bits -- "oh, that was a 5, then a 7, then a 3" so it's all "familiar"... even if it's unpredictable. These days I'm much more sensitive to harmony/melody, since I'm pretty much game for anything rhythm-wise. But if it gets too atonal, or just too "out there", it's a turn off. Though I suspect it'd grow on me if I listened more. Anyway, if the music is good and you like it, that's good enough! Sometimes there is no reason "why" we like something. And that's ok.

[@myxfit]

@@TheSquareOnes In the Akira case, it was actually my first experience with gamelan (or at least gamelan-inspired) music, so the instruments, the genre and probably even the tonality to some extent was fairly unknown to me.

[@TheSquareOnes]

@@myxfit I feel like you're missing the point but I'm not really interested in arguing it further. You can try to understand this widely documented psychological phenomenon and how it applies to your own life or you can choose to believe that you're the most special person ever, either way is fine. I was just trying to clear up what looks like a misunderstanding of what the mere-exposure effect is and what it means.

[@ErikBrabantsPianist]

Great video! Those books by Mike Mangini seem to be out of print :(

[@ShawnCrowder]

I know. :( Sometimes used copies still pop up. I'm hoping he re-opens the web store at some point. Best I can say for now is go for the Drum Guru app. The counting system in the odd meter lesson is the same that's used for tuplets (just faster).

[@sinklar1224]

Would recommend checking out Tigran's Nairian Odyssey, its initial motif has a 7 tuplet swing, on 1 and 5, really interesting song as well. 4/4 feel with 7 tuplets.

[@juanfedrums]

"The more we are exposed to something the more likely we are to like it" Reggaeton makes me a clear exception to this rule.

[@garciagrcia]

I was totally going on the wrong path with this until I saw this. Great video!

[@Magnymbus]

Haken is a great way to get into odd time signatures. They do a lot of 7/8 and 5/4 in a way that doesn't feel jarring. They were my gateway to musical "oddness".

[@frelopermanboy7426]

this video is based on different note rates, specifically quintuplets, not odd time signatures.

[@itchykami]

I think i see your point about needing to count. But I think that's more important when getting deep into music. For us newbies it might be better to just feel it for a while, at least until we love music too much to escape anymore.

[@warpticon]

Another track you could add is Midnight Mischief by Jordan Rakei, which has an extended quintuplet groove starting around the 3:45 mark and otherwise is just a fantastic song

[@joshuanelson6061]

Sugarcane by Nubiyan Twist has a pretty sick Quintuplet swing throughout it and then an awesome quintuplet filled riff towards the end. Please add to playlist to help this amazing group out

excellent channel, man

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

[@TancrediLoCigno]

Hi Shawn, I really appreciated the video but I have to say I don't very much agree with your advice on the counting method. I totally see the merit of that system and I admit I still use it sometimes today, but the point in my opinion is that the most appropriate and natural sounding way of approaching rhythms with tuplets (and this can be applied to odd time signatures as well) is to follow the shape that the rhythm of the riff or the melody in question is communicating. For example if you have a 7 with this shape '1001000' (or basically a 3+4), I cannot ignore the ternarity implied by that first 3 that is the thing that gives that particular flow to this rhythm. The listener's ear no matter what will interpret that as something ternary and not as an upbeat on 2 (unless is against quarter notes, but still) that's what's cool about these rhythms, everyone of those almost has a personality given by the internal division of the pattern. I'm not obviously saying to learn all the 128 permutations, it's not what I teach my students, but as we approach these concepts they will always be related to some kind of riff, as musicians we need to serve the music after all, so at least we have give importance to what's presented to us and after that we can start changing stuff around and improvising. To me your method looks a little bit too mechanic and I'm saying this because I used to use it and sometimes I felt was going against the musicality of my phrases. And the improv by the way will always be connected to the original pattern in some way, either by similarity or by contrast, so my advice would be to first understand what's in front of you and then apply variations with that original shape always in one corner of our mind. Thank you again, and great job with the Sungazer stuff.

[@IverBG97]

Hey, Shawn! Just now I rediscovered some Maloya I lovelovelove, which is Danyèl Waro's album Monmon from 2017. One of the songs on this album might be what got me into quintuplet swing to begin with, it's called Naraini. It's really fun to hear the vocals parts being completely relaxed rhythmically on top of the strict 5-grid. The song Panga also has a hint of 5, but is more like a relaxed 3. I hope you take a listen and discover something you like!

[@Frownlandia]

The arguable places that Zappa uses a quintuplet shuffle (that I'm aware of) are the "oh yeah" in Penguin in Bondage and also in Didja Get Any Onya? The first example is just a short fragment that isn't played over the main beat of the song, and the second example is more like a fast beat in 5 with all the stress on the 1 and 3. Again, it's arguable whether it's a shuffle or just an additive rhythm.

Joel Rothman has a - new out of print - book on quintuplet based swing coordination exercises ... it is very odd (no pun indeed) and was/is very visionary on his part. The "flow" between bass and snare, underneath two quintuple variations of the jazz ride, is very challenging and will prompt very unique motion patterns ...

[@MandrakeGuy]

and now quintuplet swing is my own default when i think of any music ever... whyyyy

[@joaluar]

yeah_! i actually wrote in 2015 many studies of independence of that clave and many others against binary triplet quintuplet etc rhythmic permutations all builded inside the quintuplet subdivision of the pulse, actually you can mantain binary or whatever rhythm modulatin softly the metric tuplet by tuplet, increasing or decreasing, i think Tulio Araujo has developed that in an impressive way

[@MandrakeGuy]

so i actually kinda went through the reverse of learning tuplets, i kinda- used tuplets more often than regular time signatures so recently iv kinda moved away from that kinda additive rhythm, to straight rhythms in odd time signatures. in fact i recently created a track in 11/4 that used a straight rhythm, no 3 + 3 + 2 etc just literally 11 beats, and i gotta say its a lot more interesting than dividing a beat into 11 parts.
