After I retired, I started digging deeper into my love of songwriting and performing. David, though I'm old enough to be your grandfather, your videos have taught me so much, brought be joy, and kept me interested in music when things are tough. Honestly surprised you weren't at a million viewers long ago. Many congratulations, sir.

You are so deserving of all the success you are enjoying right now...as you pointed out, there's so much defunding of educational programs and curricula right now, and that's one of the many reasons why your channel - and more to the point, your VOICE and your ERUDITION - are absolutely VITAL right now. Thank you so very much for teaching all who care to watch & listen, and for all the learning you encourage and enable. I am, like so many others, excited to see where your success takes you...and I look forward to all you may offer in the future. Cheers!

RIP Neil Peart. He did pretty much all the writing. Good Ear on the Subdivisions rhythm. 👍🎵

small correction, that's not the correct rhythm for raining blood by slayer - it leads with the sixteenth-notes, so you get two sixteenth-notes followed by an eighth-note, rather than the typical gallop

Pretty sure half the songs using the Barbera Ann rhythm are inspired by "You Can't Hurry Love" specifically

Congratulations David !!! You earned it. Your content is novel, high quality, interesting and educational. It's obvious you put in a lot of time and research into each of your videos. Among my favourite music video KZread channel for sure. I'm always excited each time you post a new video.

So excited to see you reach 1M! Since finding your channel I've learned so much and I've gone from terrified to play my first gig, to a confident professional musician booked every weekend over the past 3 years... the same amount of time I've been watching your videos. Coincidence? I think not! Thanks for everything 💜

Congratulations on the gold play button, David. Yes, your videos have helped me see music differently when I'm thinking about chords to add to a melody for a church service; for instance, thanks to you I better understand 7 chords and why I sometimes chose them for a song even though I tended not to like them (I choose them a little more now). Also, from you I now know the name of a trick with which I may end a song: the Picardy third.

We love you David. Glad you're getting the following you deserve.

It is awesome to see you got your gold button! Thank you, David, thank you for sharing your knowledge of music. In the few years that I’ve been following your videos not only have you educated me but my son as well.

By the way, congratulations on reaching one million subscribers. You've certainly deserved it, even sooner than now.

As for the 5:4 polyrhythm, the first half of Horse Lords' "Fanfare for Effective Freedom" is based on it. And it's built up to with a sequence of 1:2, then 2:3, then 3:4 to finally fall into a 4:5 which gets flipped into 5:4 for the main part of the song. Horse Lords love their polyrhythmic play, I'd recommend their music ten times over :)

Massive congratulations for the 1 Million subs. I already watched a bit from your live stream but man is it amazing to see you grow. Your channel is one of the most interesting ones that I have watched in the last few years. You have taught me so much and as I am starting to learn piano, you were one of the biggest inspirations. Thanks David.

Reverse gallop and you end up with an incredibly common synth rhythm.

Take 5 is a song in 5/4! It’s funny coz later in ur video you actually mention about Dave Brubeck and show the album with the song on the front cover . But what was nice for me was that I never knew who wrote this because I just played it learning sax when I was younger without actually being that interested. Now however I’m much more interested in music and Jazz and now I’m gonna hit this time out album up and listen to this religiously . Thanks for connecting the dots for me !! Also congratulations for channel . Honestly your are really informative, between you and @gracieterzian your both helping me remember a lost subliminal information dump I received as music lessons as a child.

5:19 I just now realized the Habanera rhythm is pretty similar to the Reggaeton rhythm, so it might be common in pop! Speaking of, the first song I think of with the double tresillo is clap your hands by Sean Paul

Wow! Huge Congrats on your 1 Million award …. Sooooo well deserved ! Your series is Fab !

You're incredible David! So well deserved 🎉🙏

Congratulations on the milestone. Keep up the good work.

Congrats on the 1M Dave! Truly a great music teacher out there!

I love the variety of music and genres truly shows the dedication, cause even if you listen to lots of music on a daily basis remembering where something comes up isnt easy

3 for dbl. tresillo: (well, I don't know if the third counts) "In The Air Tonight" fill "The Distance" (Cake) riff (maybe) Never Gonna Give You Up (the famous fill is very similar to the one from In The Air Tonight) 9:20 In "Ranking Polyrhythms," after hearing 5:4 Shawn says, quote, "We [Sungazer] do that on... 'Machina.'" Skank: "Just A Girl" (No Doubt- most prominent in the synth combo, I think) Gallop: William Tell Overture finale and it feels like that's what John's playing in the intro to Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da!

The rhythm from 'what a fool believes" appears in several songs. The clearest examples to me is "you should hear how she talks about you", "steal away", "he's so shy" and "love will keep us together".

Your videos are mazing, they have got me thinking about music in an entirely different way, I've been making a lot of songs in odd time signatures in different keys thanks your videos about chords and time signatures

Congratulations on the Million ! You are one of the few youtuber of whom I'm excited every time I see the notification. I owe you half of my musical education, the other half belong to rick beato like a lot of other here I guess 😂 Please keep going and feel free to try new concepts in the future if you want 😁

Nice collection of rhythms here. I was familiar with some but there's always something new when it comes to music! Non-metal example for gallop I can think of off the top of my head is "Bend Me, Shape Me" by The American Breed which prominently starts out with a solo gallop-beat drum part and the beat continues even as the other instrumentation joins in. Last but certainly not least, congrats on 1,000,000 subscribers and the gold play button David! You've got a good thing going and I certainly want to be here to see you reach 2,000,000.

Habanera rhythm is constantly found in reggaeton. In fact, the 4 is usually made by the kick where the snare is making the tresillo which forms the habanera.

Thank you, David, for always bringing theory down to earth. I'll probably never remember the double tresillo as a concept, but hearing it in all those well-known songs (like AC/DC) makes it accessible in a second.

A great example of the 5:4 polyrhythm is in the chorus of Fandango by Pain of Salvation! The song is in 5/4 meter throughout, but in that section, the drums maintain the 5/4, while the guitars and vocals are going in 4.

Always nice to hear some polyrhythms!

@b00ts4ndc4ts

Minimal techno is great for polyrhythms, usually found on the kick or toms.

The tresillo and double tresillo can be used to spice up just about any tune that's in 4-4. I tend to click my teeth in the form of a 4-4, tresillo, and double tresillo while humming any 4-4 tune all the time. One cool example is how you can hum the Wellermen song's titular lyrical line while clicking your teeth(basically biting to produce sound) and with some practice, you can do it in tresillo and double tresillo and it sounds awesome, especially when you can seamlessly transition from one to the other.

A lot of Cumbias, especially in Mexico, have a Gallup rhythm to them. It’s also there in many Quebecois (French Canadian) traditional & folk, and Celtic folk/traditional as well.

Congratulations on 1 Million.
