Play any POLYRHYTHM easily with this trick! (Interactive rhythm video)

Музыка

Here's how to play polyrhythms perfectly in time. This trick works on common polyrhythms like 3 against 2 and 4 against 3, but also any other figure. 11 against 4? Why not. (I'm looking at you, Chopin.)

Polyrhythms give this off-kilter, spiraling sensation that's pretty well unparalleled in the world of standard rhythms. You might imagine learning poly-rhythms is essential for pianists, drummers or anyone who plays an instrument and sings (you'd be right) but it's also important for any modern musician, even those who play totally monophonic instruments. Why? Often enough, the music you're playing will call on you to create a poly rhythm with the prevailing groove. Feeling this properly is crucial for a flawless execution.
Plus performing a polyrhythm is a way to practice hearing, internalizing and expressing two (or more) concurrent non-derivative musical ideas: a core musical skill!

    Polyrhythms were like magic to me before, but relating them to fractions and the lowest common denominator suddenly makes them make so much more sense. Thanks for making this video!

    Tribal African drummers don't subdivide their numerous 2-3-5-7-11-13 etc polyrhythms. Instead they "feel" the half and triplet beats and approximate the symmetry of the polyrhythm. Even if single drummer makes a mistake, he can correct it by feeling the half point in-between an odd signature.

    As a drummer, I literally just think of my bass drum as a separate instrument, as opposed to a drum, and that mentality makes it a lot easier for me for whatever reason.
