I heard you like polyrhythms On Drums!

This video is so trippy HAHA. Super cool concept from Virtual Riot! I love that you can just keep a straight beat throughout the whole thing and it really just works out! Super fun!

I like how this started as *confused drumming* but slowly shifted into *vibing drumming* xD

[@gigitrix]

it suits the original vibe so well too

[@nedaskriauciunas6877]

so quirky and funny, very haha lmao indeed

[@xymaryai8283]

Virtual Riot really said "Its Polyrhythm time" and polyrhythmed over all of us

[@CharliReef]

That was my favorite part of the movie ngl

[@Saagemusic]

Defiantly the quote of all time

[@TentaCole]

This both works and doesn’t work at the same time, and it makes my brain turn inside-out trying to process it. 😵‍💫

[@whamer100]

welcome to polyrhythms

[@gabrielx24_44]

Yeah, a really hard bit starts and it slowly becomes less catchy as time goes on

[@virtualmartini]

no it just works

[@maicee7603]

that's what makes it great

[@ShidoMedia]

And it feels wonderful 🧠

[@FizzyK-45]

Virtual Riot is an amazing producer, his Ableton music videos are 🔥af, I especially like the amen break one.

[@litterbox0192]

wait, you're telling me there's people who haven't heard of virtual riot?

[@ERRORRubiksZeraBrand]

[@ClaireSoelberg-op8id]

You were right

[@maributalsofwoggie]

how did you know??

[@divinedragon17]

yeah, man why i havent found this channel sooner, damnit youtube algorithm

[@BustyCatbot]

Probably one of the best parts of 8BitDrummer's career is how much cool music he gets to discover from across every genre.

[@Piemur1]

"It's a straight beat, but I man wanna do something different, yanno?" then the drop and he do something different. And had a blast doing it.

[@musicbyshadofox]

Virtual Riot is actually insanely good at finding concepts like this and turning them into absolute bangers. For example, there's another video on his channel called "death by amen" where he makes a full song using an amen break. Another example being when he collabed with Andrew Huang for one of his 4 producers 1 sample video and turned a short piano piece into a full complextro song ("Everything here except the drums uses the sample" is what he said). He's got a lot of technical knowledge and it shows.

[@prohanta9360]

for 4 producer 1 sample, i would give it to au5. he made everything from one sample, including the drum. man really good at sound design

[@mindopolis6089]

Close your eyes and imagine each color syncing the polyrhythms, you'll start seeing a spiral

[@madhavraghu]

you're right but it's crazy that you can just imagine that

[@Ziziwai]

You got me real confused

[@carpetdoodle]

i read this in the tune of my time by bo en

[@flameblade3]

The beauty of this is that it shows the true ability of the drums- keeping rhythm- and just how difficult it can be. Moreso in the world of jazz where solos can go to all sorts of extremes, it falls to the drums to hold a steady beat all the way through. It would be extremely difficult to process a rhythm for this song without the drums, 8bitdrummer really is a master of his craft

[@brandonm1708]

As an aspiring musician, the most impressive part isn’t the keeping rhythm. The song has an even best in the background that makes it somewhat easy to follow. What makes it so good is how many little flairs he throws in to follow the vibe of the song, when he’s hearing this for the first time! Being able to correctly interpret the dynamics and match that with his own playing is the mark of a pro.

[@brandonm1708]

Also I have no idea how he keeps beat while reading chat 😂

[@vaportrails7943]

It’s impossible to do anything other than the basic 4/4 because the sequences on top are speeding up and slowing down continually. It’s not one steady polyrhythm, it’s cycling through every polyrhythm.

[@rusoruski3565]

Man this Virtual Riot is good, he should make a music career out of dubstep or something.

[@inacio999]

I usually don't like polyrhythms but this one is a jam

[@existenceispain_geekthesiren]

what isn't there to like? haven't you heard 3:4?

[@brunomcleod]

You usually don’t like polyrhythms My hands are on the sides of my head and my mouth is open

[@tastefulsubstance]

Not to be that guy, but have you heard tool?💀

[@500werewolf]

This feels like it shouldn't work and does work at the same time?!!! WTF?

[@OrsonXD]

Please check his other experiments like this, like 'death by amen'

[@raeyth_]

Dude, that would be nuts

[@TheRealLyrelia]

I love seeing your drummer's ear and brain chewing on this song. ^_^ It's super fascinating, huh? I love the shifting patterns, where sometimes it almost doesn't work, but then it becomes something else that does. I like listening to this one while I'm working.

[@rattle_me_bones]

The way your head perked up at the drop reminded me of that one Shaq clip when he was on Hot Ones LOL

[@SystemGlitch]

I can only count to four.

[@MODem_sr.]

This absolutely sounds like a song my now dead brother would have designed. Dani (Daniel) i miss you so much. Hopefully you now have your peace. Thanks for this trip. It was quite nice.

[@peripersonal]

My head feels transported to another universe

[@manofmanythings.1518]

i feel like playing along with polyrhythms is like trying to use a broken clock. it tests your timekeeping abilities, but the moments when you're in sync are so satisfying.

[@legitisaac9872]

Virtual Riot x 8BitDrummer is the actual best thing ive ever seen 💫💫

[@zebraforceone]

It's such a weird feeling to play at a constant tempo and feel the polyrhythms gradually shift

[@markguyton2868]

I heard you like polyrhythms, so I put polyrhythms in your polyrhythms so you can polyrhythm your polyrhythms ;3

[@WaldoIsahider]

Man, once you fell into the proper rhythm you started zoning in. Majestic tune.

[@MasterChaosL100]

If you wanna hear an even cooler version of this. Look up "I heard you like polyrhythm techno" from Mel Doy. Trippy visuals, and a banger edit of the original track.

[@p.n.hajime7633]

This is the definition of the phrase “To Get in Rhythm”

[@JingoTastic]

the many, many thousands of emojis sent trying to capture just how hard theyre jamming out

[@domafychan]

listening to this while watching an rgb audio visualiser is a trip and a half

[@viscerotic]

HELL yes vr is so fucking cool this track bangs im so glad 8bit got to it so quick. the drums sound excellent with the track once he gets into it

[@helioshayde4842]

5:35 Peter Hoffman says in the YT stream chat "she poly on my rhythm till i get trippy". i just wanted to point that out

[@NezuChan]

This is like the stopped clock illusion but in audio form.

[@starplexus.]

this is such a lovely video, the joy on your face while listening and playing to this is everything

[@user-np7oi7rv5l]

dude can drum to just about anything and it's amazing

[@rafaelriva5981]

Man you really elevated the song to another level

[@pineapplequeen13]

Love to see two of my fave online musicians (Virtual Riot and 8-Bit Drummer) intersect

[@u.j.a.jakeff3247]

Y'know what the song reminds me of? Rez Infinite. Combined with 8Bit's drums, it's just pure bliss.

[@Mawww_MMD]

i already loved the song but drums on top of it is so good to listen !

[@HiWelcomeToIKEA]

I got that videeo in my recommended but never bothered to watch it, now this makes me want to watch it

Duuuuude this give me such stank face, beyond impressive you stayed on beat

[@apxcrypha3516]

so cool to see VR getting the praise he deserves. been an absolute game changer in bass music for the last decade or so now.

[@redhoodbeck3667]

Kinda like some sci-fi trippy pixel game boss music the polyrythme sometimes being attacks in the game others being the song it's self dunno my thoughts tho

[@SyenPie]

Awesome thx for making this!! 🔥🙏

[@ScribbleTAS]

YOOO, a VR does crazy ableton things video??

[@Jaszi007]

Heard this song a week or two before seeing THIS video and I couldn’t get through more than about half of the og vid but with drums I could listen on repeat.

[@jackdaleggett7184]

This makes my brain release the funny happy chemical

[@inkyo7538]

Loved the song the first time I heard, fainted with the drum cover.

[@puzzlepuddles6712]

i can't tell if i like virtual riot's piano roll visuals more or vistanz's spiral visualizer more

polyrhythms? he hasn't seen II-L

[@HYpr1337time]

music and math moment

[@GXboy12345]

How do you get pattern changes 100% accurate? Is there a delay so you can hear ahead before playing @ the stream's delay time?

[@ImprovSpeech]

When you play music for a while you start to pick up where music changes happen and where phrases will end, I'm not sure what you are thinking with the delay but that sounds extremely difficult to do, best analogy i could think of is reading 2 books at the same time, itll get very scrambled

[@GXboy12345]

@@ImprovSpeech Yeah, I know (pianist + music theory student of 8 years) but sometimes he gets OUT OF THE BLUE break changes and a sudden buzz roll or random double time Yeah I also thought about the delay but if he had like a perfect measure or one beat delay it could be possible- also the reactions he gets on a sudden change happen before he actually drums the pattern

[@ImprovSpeech]

@@GXboy12345 yeah not sure about that, Ive definitely seen a few songs where he does get caught out by the changes though so it might just be previous familiarity with the song/genre or he's just better lol

[@pepsiman6304]

To better understand what happened, I think: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZq7nZicbqx5irs or kzbin.info/www/bejne/anjEeKGLba6daLs would help I love your drum! hope you can discover more amazing beat!

You’re supposed to get away from a beat here. Do something on 4 with one hand and something on 3 with the other, for example. You have all the accents for that.
