Well that's all a matter of perspective, though, isn't it? You can't be inside the head of every musician so it's kinda fragile logic to be making such claims. For instance, I learned about these kind of grooves because I learned most of my musicianship from a primarily west African drum circle, where we played a lot of polyrhythms & even on some samba the bell parts are usually tuplets of one kind or another, so if you're playing the dunduns & the bell @ the same time (common in my experience), youre usually counting in 3 and in 7, but the djembe parts are often in 3, 4, or 5. And that shit and music like it is way older than jazz or even "classical"

I love how the drunk drumming is harder than regular drumming. So if you want to sound like you’re playing bad, you need to play very well.

4/4 Still my favorite by far. There's stuff like 3/4 that sounds just as natural to me, but 4/4 JUST GOES It just has a certain kind of strong and steady momentum to it, I wonder if it feels the same way to at least some people who didn't grow up on it. Even if you're all about weird time signatures and going from one to the other, you should see how good it can be to land on 4/4, for like the chorus, and how the weird ones can sound even more pleasingly off-balance coming out of it. I had a realization the other day, 4 measures of 3 equals 3 measures of 4, you can have a waltzing element be a constant pulse on a 3 bar 4/4 section and keep it a constant even when transitioning in or out of a waltz, no cut of the pattern at the end to make it fit. Had a waltzing bass solo playing a simple pattern with the 1, 4 and 5 for 4 measures, with the 1 always on 1st measure, then I throw in drums and chords in a 3 bar 4/4 pattern and suddenly the note on each first measure varies, it grooves so hard.

@@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS In English, when we talk about probable events in the future, we use the future tense. When we talk about improbable events in the future, we use the past tense. "If I go to the store, I will buy bread" is first conditional. "If I went to China, I would see the Great Wall" is second conditional. We do this so automatically we don't think about it, and we also don't think about the fact we are using the past tense to talk about the future. But which form we uses changes the emotional tone we use. So when Smokey Robinson says "If you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion..." he is using the first conditional. He finds the possibility realistic, even if it is not assured. But Bradley Nowell saying: "If I had a million dollars, I would spend them all", means that he is talking about impossibilities. His revenge fantasies to him are just fantasies, him talking about an impossible situation.

Damn.. I've listened to Drunk by sungazer so much lately, and I love the 'drunk feeling'. Hearing it with the metronome made me feel so sober. Like gaining a superpower of oversight

Adam, this video is great on so many levels. The explanation of these "sloppy beats" was an eye opener to me. Paired with your sense of humour and your musical output it is absolute fun to watch your videos. Make sure your EP will also be on the streaming services. You got one listener for sure ;-).

Great video, Adam.

it's so much fun coming back to this video as I've learnt more and I can begin to understand a little bit more.

I found this super interesting. Thank you for the notation as well, that is IMMENSELY helpful.

this explains me drunk so well - when i go to the bar, i'l be like 12:45 , after first beer 11:04 after a few more beers i talk like 6:28 and think 2:57 , after a few too many i go home like this 0:08 and when i get home and my wife gets mad, i wish i could be as apologetically articulate as 13:08 but all i get from her complaining is 2:34. oh yeah, and next day to myself 14:31

Man, I've really taken a liking to the videos on your channel. It's just what I needed to help guide me in learning and understanding music theory. Love the tunes, too! Also, I definitely paused and read that whole thing as I absolutely adore single frame messages!

Beyond being a master musician, Adam has killer presentation skills.

my drummer once counted one of our breakdowns at 23/16.... it was all 4/4 i do love how time signatures are more just suggestions than an actual rule

I've not watched all your videos but this is my favorite of the many I've watched to date. A great intersection of theory, feel, and just being human. Loved it.

Adam, I got started watching your videos a month or two ago when I watched "a day in the life of a working musician". I was intrigued by your many abilities and now am so glad I found you. I love your thoughtful and enchanting delivery. It would be easy to make another channel where you just spit out information. (Which you certainly do.) But you take a topic like "How to play music with a drunk feel" and turn it into something so meaningful. (depending on your definition of meaningfulness :)) Well done. I like it when I see someone who actually cares about what they're doing. Someone who digs and passionately and explores the reasons for things. Keep inspiring. Keep believing. Keep meaning. May God continue to bless you.

7:13 that wonky image stabilizations makes me feel drunk

I was like 9-10 years old when I played piano for my musical course in front of my parents and a lot of others. And suddenly I made a mistake. I wasn't panicking, and I continued playing. But when I repeated the same measure again, I felt like it seemed "right" to play it again "wrong". It was my way to make it feel like it wasn't an error, but something like a flavour I was adding. Being 20 and asking myself about what I was thinking 10 years ago make me realise that something I wasn't aware of made me feel like I was always in control. Now, watching your video and listening to those magical words "repetition legitimize" and "repetition is the key to the human intent" had me in a beautiful jump in the past. Thanks to have proven me that I wasn't doing wrong for the sake of being crazy, but instead because it was a rightful way of behave. Thank you, Adam.

It's important to keep in mind that time signatures, tempos and note rates (like tuplets) are all just a way of conceptualizing when to hit shit, something demonstrated pretty nicely here where they translate 9-tuplets into triplets in 3/4. With that in mind if you get a firm grasp on odd time signatures then it's just a matter of getting them up to speed to be able to translate that into really deep and weird tuplets. So basically what Protoka is saying but a bit more explicit, 19/8 and 19-tuplets are different but if you play 19/8 fast enough it becomes synonymous with a 19-tuplet.

Thanks Adam, you're absolutely phenomenal when it comes to explaining music theories.

Your videos may prove to be the inspiration I've needed to cough up the money for a music education. These analyses (and your masterful editing) keep things fresh as I listen to otherwise familiar music.

I'm doing wonderful Adam, thanks for asking! I am indeed enjoying this video in the middle of my quarantine a year and some change after it came out. Love your stuff!

I've always found that the 5:3 polyrhythm was a relatively easy "drunk" rhythm... Etude in 5/8 against 3/8 incoming...

The Jacob Collier song he shows actually does that along with the grouping of 7 - he doesn't show it, but in the actual song that section is at 73.8 bpm coming from 123 bpm - a perfect 5:3 ratio. So he's doing septuplets in a 5:3 polyrhythm. What a guy.

Adam I know this is an old video so there's a very small chance that you'll see this but I just really wanted to say thank you for introducing me to Jacob Collier. I've been watching your videos for years so I always watch the newest one right away, and that afternoon when this video came out, I was watching it like normal until I got to the Jacob Collier part. My mind was blown for about 4 seconds and I just needed so see where that was coming from. I finished the video then searched up Jacob Collier With The Love In My Heart and was introduced to a new, almost unclassifyable genre of music that I had never heard before. I almost immediately got into his other music and the June Lee transcriptions/interviews and I just went crazy over the fact that this kind of thing was happening in the same world that I live in. That interest grew into a full on obsession and after squeezing out all the music theory I can from him, I started to become genuinely inspired to do my own similar things. I started by transcribing 6 of his Djesse Vol. 2 songs which was fun and then I realized that I could make music like that too, so now I have this long chapter of my life to look forward to, even at 15 years old. I'm happier now than I've ever been because of all these new feelings I'm getting from music and it's so wonderful! I'm sorry to put a praise of JC on your video but if you hadn't made such great content that kept me around for all these years, it might have been years till I found him. So thank you so much for being the reason that I've started this new era and found new love for music! I hope you have a wonderful life!

So this is the video that introduced me to Jacob Collier and his music. I’d heard of him before, namely June lee’s interviews, but I’d never actually heard his music before. I’ve fallen in love with his music, his vibes, his energy. Because of this video I went to my first big name concert ever. What a magical experience it was to see Collier and his friends play live. Thank you Adam. You have inadvertently changed my life

that metronome on 5:13 actually adds like a pretty cool layer to the music

I'm doing well thanks for asking! How are you? I'm enjoying the video so far!

Hi, thanks for the pause explanation! Fascinating stuff, way above my paygrade, but I love it, fascinating stuff! Thanks for the videos!

I'm good, Adam, thanks for asking. Also, just in case y'all don't want to pause the video at one exact frame in 10:39, here's the text: For example, it's actually a G7 at the top of the "Is That All There Is" chorus, so technically at most it's now tonicizing C major, only two steps removed from Bb in the circle of fifths, not three like I just said. It actually eventually tonicizes at C minor. The whole tune ends in G minor, which is the minor relative of Bb, so its debatable if there was ever any modulation to begin with, but here's the thing... The analysis is "wrong", but I'm giving you the inspiration behind the choice. I was inspired to do a modulation to a "brighter" key in the chorus by the feeling it inspired in this one particular song by Peggy Lee. Analysis can exist on many levels, and the more ways you can analyze a thing, the better you'll come to know it. Also, hi, how are you? Thanks for pausing this video. I hope you are enjoying it.

This is why I love the Yamaha RY30, it has some really "glitchy" way of playing with your groove. The tempo mode and swing function. It is awesome.
