    very nice vibe, very calm teaching. thank you ! my only hint would be: perhaps start somewhere in the first minute by showing a complete "free" song that has these rhythmics. you already had a TASTER of this, but maybe a bit more of the actual music to which this can lead would be great !!! this can really inspire to wanting to learn this. if we as peolpe start off straight away with the "theory" or the broken down structure, it can be a lot =) lots of love

Like in just the first 15 seconds of this video, you demonstrated rhythms more technical than the vast majority of western musicians would be comfortable with, including me! And you did it so...nochalantly, like you were explaining 1+1=2 to a 5-year-old. You should check out some prog metal/djent bands when you have time. Like, there are tons of bands devoted to taking metal songs and playing them in the rhythms similar to what you demonstrated.
