Very crazy very good
Hearing multiple rhythms all grooving independently but also in harmony with each other at the same time, while beautifully played. It's awesome.
Love brother! Love where the accents fall! Heartbeat of Africa!
That cowbell, bass drum pattern is tricky so get right. It’s like learning drums all over again!
This is Awesome Rhythm. But I wish I could see it up higher so I can see the placement of toms and snare. Thanks for putting this out here. Really dig the groove...
Thank you so much bro. This is the coolest rhythm I've been living and listening to inside me and outside as well. ❤❤❤

Super...Es genial.
That was RAD !!!!
Altaf offers online lessons to all who love this. He has an Afrcan Drum set Rhythms program. thanks everyone!
You seem like a drummer who would really enjoy some of that obscure psychedelic rock from Peru. My memory fails me, and I forget any of the specific bands yet they dabble in some very specific ideas as well if I am remembering correctly.

Hi Nils, We are so glad you enjoyed Altaf's rhythm - it is an example of the depth of 6/8 grooves played in African and World Beat music. This groove is something that he has developed from multiple parts and applied to drum set. He teaches these concepts here and online private lessons are available. Please visit www.souldrums.com and possibly register for a months lessons with him. He would love to share these concepts further if your interested.
Those drum kits in a way sound just like dun dun drums
Heyy Please explain how to count How to know how many beats there is

Undoubtedly this rhythm is very funny and well executed. But there is a technical mistake in defining the time signature. According to 6/8 groove that you are playing is absolutely a compound time signature and in this way, any time signature having 6 on top is compound duple meaning a bar consisting of two beats where each beat is a dotted quarter note which becomes the 'beat unit' and eight notes are the subdivisions of the beats.So 6/8 being compound time cannot have more than two beats in a bar and should be counted as 1, 2. It is as long as the 6/8 time signature can never be counted as 1, 2, 3, 4, in any way.

In African rhythm and music, 6/8 & 12/8 can definitley be counted in 4 beat sub divisions. There are many counting systems in the beautiful World of Music.

@@SoulDrumsLtd 6/8 is a time signature used in western musical notations throughout the world which denotes there are two dotted quarter notes or beats in a bar need be counted as 1, 2 and each beat is subdivided into three equal parts those are eighth notes may be counted as 1 ² ³ 4 ⁵ ⁶ in compound time. You can calculate them as you wish. But counting them as 1, 2 , 3, 4 or 1 ² ³ 4 ⁵ ⁶ 7 ⁸ ⁹ 10 ¹¹ ¹² is grammatically wrong. If you have noticed, you will see that an African 6/8 clave pattern is also made up of two main beats where 8th notes are the only sub-divisions of the beat within a bar. This is a musical argument, don't take it otherwise. Thanks.

@@SuperGopen dude tf are you talking about? You don’t NEED to count it a certain way - 6/8 time means there are 6 8th notes in a bar. Besides, you’re getting nit picky about the count off and it’s very common in concert and other bands to give 4 clicks before starting, even if it subdividing them into triplets, as “1, 2, 1, 2” sounds stupid and “1, 4, 1, 4” with the implied eighths in between is even more stupid. Point being - 6/8 being counted as “one and a two and a three and a four and a” is not technically incorrect or against the rules or never done at all
