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!

This is by far one of the best videos I've seen on KZread for explaining polyrhythms. Well done, Sir.

Christopher Ammons...Grammar Nazi here. You can’t have “By far one of the best”. It’s either “By far the best”. Or “One of the best”.

Yes
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.

👆👽 THAT. When you feel it..that's when you're one with it and don't need to count a thing....
very nice tutorial. You managed to explain polyrhythms in the first minute of the video and the examples were super helpful.
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.
FINALLY! A video on polyrhythms I can actually understand. Thank you so much!
Incredible video! I’ve never been able to drum a polyrhythm! Had it locked in by the end of this video and it’s transferred to all of them! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for all of your videos on rhythm. I've forwarded links to a couple of my piano pupils who have been struggling with rhythm. You have a real talent for explaining things clearly.
The best poly video by far on KZread. Awesome sauce man thanks!
Best polyrhythm video out there. Great work on the visual aids!

Best explanation out there for polyrhythms. Period. Thank you for uploading!
Very nicely done. Simplified with perfection. Thank you
Omg this is so incredibly clear and helpful! Thank you so much for making this video!
Beautiful video, very clearly explained, and very nicely animated, great audio quality, and succinct. Nice work!
The way you showed using the lowest common multiple along with the grid was the perfect explanation for me in understanding this. THANK YOU!
Hand down the best video I've seen on polyrhythms. First video I've watched of yours and you already earned the subscribe
Your rhythm videos are nothing short of genius!! Many Thanks!!!
Brilliant breakdown. Trying to play this had me laughing aloud, a sort of happy frustration. LOVE it!
Loved it man, really entertaining and efficent, sober, efficent, exciting still !
This is BRILLIANT. I understood it theoretically but couldn’t make the jump to both hands! I hadn’t ever thought of breaking it down into the common denominator!
I'm a guitarist and this helped me to create the craziest metal song last night so amazing great job on explaining this it worked so unbelievably well

This is a great video. I use polyrhythms often playing guitar. Some things just feel natural that way but I've had a hard time trying to translate the feeling over as I'm learning to play drums. This gives a lot of simple clarification

This was incredibly helpful! As a beginner I was trying to learn my first polyrhythm piece (glasswork opening by Philip Glass) and it has the same pattern as the example of this video (2 notes on one hand, 3 on the other). At first polyrhytm was daunting to me but it's simpler than it's seems
