The MASTER of Rhythm!! Tigran Hamasyan - The Court Jester

[@jaodrum]

hey dude, i actually talked to Arthur Hnatek about this section n he told me Tigran thinks of the whole thing as a 3/4 bar. the big E power chord comes at beat 3. n as for the metric modulation he also told me it is just a slow down, where the band follows the drummer. The two snare hits before going back to the original tempo signals the band where the "new old" tempo is. hv a grt day n congrats on the vid.

That totally makes sense, and I’m sure it’s much easier to play that way. I kind of view it as just a tempo change as well, I think that makes the most sense. Nice to get some info from the source though!

@@TheProgSchool yeah man, it was real eye-opening to talk to him about those songs. let's keep digging his music, so we can improve our own.

[@TheProgSchool]

@@jaodrum that’s the goal!

[@matiasusabiaga9198]

Is the E power chord really on beat 3? or is it on the and of 3? I always thought of it as it being on the and of 3 and i thought it was how they were feeling it since it lines up with the backbeat that comes after.

[@TheProgSchool]

@@matiasusabiaga9198 it feels like beat 3 to me, but I could see it being the and of 3 as well. Some of this can be analyzed in different ways.

Cool video! This song and specifically this part with the tempo change is so weird but so good! Also, the 2 snare hits before going back to the original tempo is so satisfying

[@TheProgSchool]

Yeah, it’s really cool!

[@yusdrum91]

dude, yes! that 2 snare hits is so good

Great loved it rythem is so amazing you can bend it any way and it will create a new emotion with any chord progression.

Amazing video and at the exact right time. I've only recently really getting into his music and this is definitly one of my favorite pieces.

[@TheProgSchool]

Glad you enjoyed it! Have fun digging into his music, it’s all incredible. I have another video on Tigran as well if you want to learn more!

@@TheProgSchool I literally just listened to it right now, for probably at least the 10th time today. I can't get enough of it!

Great Channel indeed❤❤

[@TheProgSchool]

Thank you!

@@TheProgSchool more of this. I suck at writing riffs. I spent years just focusing on solos and totally neglected this stuff . Your methods are great. Already tried a few of your tips and it sounds fresh new and unique.. don't stop these videos . 1.A couple of your djent chord progressions video would be great. 2.Also how I can use those progressions in 5/8 or 7/8 time signature would be great. 3. How to make transition from riffs to riffs or ideas. Resulting in a full song 4. May be some drumming ideas specially Filler or a few Drum rolls for transition or in between riffs. I will really appreciate if u make videos in these topics.. Thank u in advance..

[@TheProgSchool]

@@RahulDas-zy6ut most of these topics I’ve covered at some point. Look back through some of my other videos, I have dozens of videos on odd time signatures, chords, arrangement ideas, drum etc. Plus I’m always making more new videos!
