Polyrhythms were like magic to me before, but relating them to fractions and the lowest common denominator suddenly makes them make so much more sense. Thanks for making this video!

Tribal African drummers don't subdivide their numerous 2-3-5-7-11-13 etc polyrhythms. Instead they "feel" the half and triplet beats and approximate the symmetry of the polyrhythm. Even if single drummer makes a mistake, he can correct it by feeling the half point in-between an odd signature.

A good way that I foundes to find how to correctly divide the beat is to find a comme number in the multiplication tables of the two units we want to opposite. And of course, take the smallest number we can take, so the original beat is divided as little as possible. Example : 3 against 4 = Multiplication table of 3 : 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, etc. Same for 4 : 4, 8, 12, 16, etc. We see that there's the same number in both : 12. So we have to divide the beat into 12 parts to place and the three and the four beats. I hope it was useful ! ^o^

Very helpful. Althoguh admittedly, my brain was switching the "eighth" and "tuplet", so rather than doing a triplet and later septuplet in 2/4, I was basically counting two bars of 3/8 (then later 7/8).
@SaherGalt7 жыл бұрын
Yeah, that can happen. To keep the underlying meter clearly defined, try to also tap your foot to the quarter note beat and put emphasis on your rhythmic figures there.
