The "football clap" is used in the opening handclaps of John Fogerty's "Centerfield" (a song about playing baseball). It's also used in the Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night." It's really common as a stadium organ riff in the US (typically baseball and hockey teams will have an organist playing live music during breaks to pump the crowd up).

@ 16:47 There was a Swedish pop show in the sixties called Drop In. They used Let’s Go as their intro/outro music. There is a live 12 minute video of The Beatles playing at Drop In, 30th October 1963, on YT. They’re even participating with hand claps in the “Drop In” outro. So that’s my reference🎶

Bossa Nova (or some variation of it) can be heard in 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' by Bauhaus. Which, according to their bassist, was the one of the few rhythms that the drummer knew at that time

I don't know why, but 16:22 had me laughing out loud. The rhythm seems so comical and the text on top of it, said in such a serious manner... but maybe the rhythm has been used in humorous situations a lot, so I instinctively associate it with something being funny?

Whenever Dude Perfect uses this, they (more often than not) turn the last two beats into "dead space" ("usually" because for Garrett bar 2 is his nickname, "pur-ple ho-ser," but for everyone else it's "let's go" and then 2 beats dead space) That's more like how I remember it (more like Garrett's variation, with bar 2 *normally* played on F-D-F-D!)

So you can happily ignore the final, unaccented, 'e' in totale when counting the rhythm. To make the chant work, you have to put more stress on the 'to' in totale than you would in regular speech, and then minimize the e; but it totally works.

The "Shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm in Rhythm Heaven, in the song for the minigame Sick Beats. It's played as kind of a melodic climax of sorts, leading up to the next section of the track.

Maybe it doesn't seem that way to those who haven't yet looked into the matter; but for me, who has toiled for years, alone, about the rhythmic particularities, so poorly addressed in the texts "conventional", trying to understand how such peculiarities can appearing on so many and diverse "musical fronts", it makes me want to cry for being born so before that crazy time, but with such objective learning opportunities, like in your video.

Lovely! Explains alot. I have been trying to write out a such rhythm, yet didn't know this. Thank you. 🧡

Thankyou. I struggle with timing issues in music and this has been really informative .

Well done video. I think my brain melted very early on, but the san clave music examples served as a wonderful example of music I'd like to explore more of. And bossa nova being another I need to listen to more of. Wonderfully done video!

Yet again, just the sort of thing I was looking for. Thank you.

Fantastic. Saving this as a reference for learning and practice. It's amazing that so much music is based on just a small collection of basic rhythm patterns, but they do each have a unique character and lend themselves to pushing and pulling and stretching. I wonder if there is a name for the rhythm behind Queen's iconic "We Will Rock You"? Thanks!

Bravo! Informative and great fun! Thank you from Texas.

This overview of rhythms and styles with examples of each was very useful to get some ideas to expand horizons. Thanks for that. I did half expect for Meshuggah to show up somewhere near the end though. Maybe next time, in the advanced edition.

Brilliant tutorial. Well thought out, well explained with great examples

Yes, the football clap is also used in American sports. But I'm a little disappointed you didn't include the "A Noose, A Tree, Hang the Referee" rhythm.

I always liked Tresillo in the bass... e.g. Madonna's Take a Bow, but there are tons of examples, and anytime I hear it, I like it. The next best thing for 3 steps besides the Waltz itself. A lot of interesting rhythms, thanks for the video!

Tresillo can be found in surf (especially in guitar/drums) and rockabilly/psychobilly music (especially in double bass).

I found this very interesting specially from a songwriting point af view as the Rhythm can be the flavour of the song your trying to write, rhythm can be the inspiration sometimes needed, many thanks

In Portugal we use the Football Clap extensively in football at least and other types of event featuring crowds but mostly sports.

Back when Johnny Carson was host of the Tonight Show, his band took to using "shave and a haircut" to end his theme / intro music, often with unusual notes for the "two bits".
