Love some Avishai cohen

[@88varjo]

best drumming channel on KZbin hands down

[@mr_tw]

Slight disagreement... EVERYONE needs to know rhythm. But to be fair, there's a frustrated drummer in most of us! So I guess I agree with you after all?

[@YogevGabay]

Thanks mannnn

[@rodrigotando]

I'm not here to add extra pressure for you to return, but... I miss you 😢 cheers and well wishes from Brasil

[@YogevGabay]

Ahhh man, I miss you guys as well. Working on my comeback !

[@rowan3269]

I absolutely love how ‘the self’ lines up with the lyrics “oneself versus the self” in the chorus

[@user-el5mg4it9t]

'Shlosre' is my music teacher's favourite. Avishai knows how to inject creativity in the rhythm department like no other

[@Rubzosaurus]

I’m a bassist and I’d like to see tuplets and poly stuff in your course! I enjoy your analysis videos of Meshuggah, but also this. Thanks for making great content!

[@Dogrockdog]

I almost cried the first time I heard this. I was cleaning the school classrooms in Margaret river, and I almost immediately knew that it was Karnivool I thought this is the best song I’ve ever heard. I was so proud. I was supposed to play against them in the battle of the bands back in 1997 or so.other band was gyroscope ( Sunday ) Swanbourne hotel ( we woulda lost me thinks ) 😀( our drummer was on heroin we found out that day 😢)

[@Goblinsack2]

what in the f are you talking about?

[@quicodramma]

the most mind blowing "no beat 1" song I think is Richard Spaven's "NOVA". it just feel very drunk but very mathematically exact

[@YogevGabay]

Love that track

[@TheMagicCuber]

Hey Yogev, wanted to leave a comment to thank you for all your help with my musical understanding, especially with metal music. It’s helped me enjoy the music I love even more, and helped me with charting some Meshuggah songs on guitar hero :) Hope to see the series return when you are able :) also I don’t know if you’ll be coming back to the US any time soon but it’d be cool to see you perform

[@YogevGabay]

Yo, thank you so much ! I'm so happy this channel is helpful. I will indeed get back to these pretty soon, I really miss doing them. And I actually live in Boston, so if you're around Jan 27th, there's a cool show !

[@TheMagicCuber]

@@YogevGabay oh awesome! Boston’s a bit far since I’m from Ohio but if you ever come to the Midwest or if I go to the northeast I’ll definitely come see a show! Also Fractal Sextet is so good ❤️❤️

[@YogevGabay]

@@TheMagicCuber Ohhhhh yes that album was fire. There's another one in the mixing process !

Yes, silence is also music. I've had an idea© of adding a silent mesh pad to my kit as a tom. This would make things really interesting.

@@YogevGabay I'm surprised no one has done this. There's lots of opportunities for creativity there incorporating silence as an instrument.

[@noahgitlis1019]

oh my god ive been looking for the subdivision of this song since i heard it on avishai's "etude" from international vamp band album. I actually broke it down correctly, but was so unsure about it that it just existed in my head as a question mark! thanks, great vid...

[@aldochen5650]

👍awesome

[@mourlyvold64]

Come to think of it, how 'bout pairing Avishay Cohen and Richard Spaven in a combo? Not bad, huh? (edit: I see in the video you already beat me to the idea. Smart man 🙂)

[@beanzthumbz]

The second one isn't so bad when you realise it's just a 5:4 polyrythm starting in the second position! Then beat 6 is just a cheeky hit on the second 16th ;)

Hey, I just wanted to say that I love your videos! Trying to understand all the rhythms of a song is hard, but with your videos, even someone like me who knows nothing about music theory finds it so easy to understand everything. Some rhythm game players will understand, but there is an artist who makes songs that are hard to understand, and I would love to see a video about it. His name is II-L. Some well-known songs by him are Sputnik-3, Vanguard-1, and Asteroid Field of DECAPLETS if you want to check them out

[@YogevGabay]

Oh man thank you so much for writing this ! I love hearing from people that my videos helped is some way, it really really warms the heart. Will listen to your suggestion !

Another great example of this concept is the "chorus" sections in "Tetragrammaton" by The Mars Volta. They consist of a 9/4 guitar riff that is split into three 3-beat phrases. Each phrase begins on the & of the first beat (1, 4, and 7) and ends on the & of the third (3, 6, and 9). The only activity you hear on the starting beats of the phrases (not including the tied notes that extend through beat 1 of the riff when it repeats) come in either a splash cymbal playing quarter notes for the first two repeats (beginning on beat 2) or drum fills that extend through beat 1 on later repeats. The lack of importance of beat 1 (and beats 4 and 7 for that matter) makes these sections extremely disorienting.

[@YogevGabay]

Thanks !

[@redoctopus]

Yogev! Please please please make an episode about Avishai Cohen - Dreaming - I can't decipher the the "one" in the piano beginning (easy 7/8 but what rhythm does the piano do inside it?? the one is so confusing)

[@AleArzMusic]

Please make a rhythm analysis for Gates of Haiaiel by Hybrid Practice 😊

[@SandTheDoor]

I think there's more to the first track. There are some crash accents (1:13 and 3:40 in the song) that heavily imply the snare being in between beat 2 and 3. On the other hand, there's this one other crash that heavily implies the snare on beat 3 (4:38). There are sections that favor the first interpretation and ones that favor the second one. And still, both interpretations make full sense for the whole track minus those crash accents. I feel like that's intentional, and the song is meant to make sense in both ways. It's as if it is hinting at you that you should try listening to it differently and see what happens. I feel like the lyrics are hinting at this as well ("Oneself versus the self", "we're all equal"). Very interesting track, reminds me of Meshuggah's Combustion, but that one, unlike this, has a definite "correct" way of hearing it.

[@YogevGabay]

Hell yeh it does, did you see the video I did about it? I hope I got it right hahaha

Suggestion for another Time Consuming episode. I'm probably wrong but I'm hearing 39/16 mixed metre on this one. It starts out by going two bars of 4/4 + one bar of 7/16. Then for the solos it goes three bars of 7/16 and two bars of 9/16. But again, I'm not 100% sure about any of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ-xmXdmd6pgrq8
