Some additional notes- 12/8 is the king of signatures for creating a 3:4 polyrhythm. Try creating a melody or riff in 12/8 then experiment with the rhythm section switching between either steady 3 or steady 4, or BOTH at the same time. Also, polymeters CREATE polyrhythms if you remove the "in between" notes. Watch my video on polymeter and you'll see the relationship- if you play the FIRST NOTE of every polymetric section, what you have is a polyrhythm!

Jake, do you have any actual online or downloadable courses? I find that videos on specific topics are great when you want to zone in on a particular technique or idea but its easy too get overwhelmed and hit roadblocks. A structured course from you I think would be amazing. Particularly focusing on metal and prog styles. I'd definitely buy it.

Signals Music Studio Can you make a video about how to recognize certain time signatures in different genres? Can you cover how to tell the difference between double-time and slow common-time? Also, how is common-time done in R&B/Hip Hop as opposed to in rock? Also, I’ve been undecided for a long time about what time signature/rhythm Michael Jackson’s song “Heartbreaker” has and what genre(s) it is. Do you know?

Going to add the album to my spotify for the gym later - it's excellent! I really grew up on the prog thing, but none of the bands I dug (Symphony X, Ron Jarzombek, Opeth etc) were big on the polyrhythmic stuff, so it's a huge weakness in my ear now.

Really good article! But good god that comment section :( I guess the only thing we can do is make more rhythm based content and hopefully clear up the air. I find the ultra-complex polymetal stuff to be hilarious and fun, but it's not the stuff I really want to listen to. I feel it'll be a great medium through which to teach rhythms though, since djent and math metal is somewhat "in" right now. And I finally have a 7 string so more poly-metal stuff is inevitible. Most of my knowledge of the stuff comes from the little I've learned about indian music, specifically Konnakol. Carnatic music is saturated in polyrhythm, polymeter, and even weirder concepts like Tihais and reductive measures. Just scratching the surface is enough to make you realize that us westerners are woefully unprepared to handle those sorts of concepts but I just flat out find it fascinating and fun, albeit rarely practical, lol.
