Okay, i admit i clicked NOW because of the thumbnail. Thank you! This was very informative - again! You are such a fantastic teacher, and as soon as they are old enough to understand english, all your content (the informative ones, the musical ones they know already) will be on the program. Hope to see you!
This is the best explaination of Rythym i've ever seen. As a person who has Disabilities this was the most clear cut, well spoken, non difficult to Interpret video i've ever watched. Thank you.
I played a song in symphonic band that was a mixed meter between 3/4 and 6/8. It was like DA da DA da DA da | DA da da DA da da | DA da DA da DA da | DA da da DA da da
I'm a percussionist and I own two Flexitones. They are painted black so they are almost invisible when played in a dark venue. This often means that people can't see what is producing the sound.
Literally said "This is great" out loud while I was scrolling through the comments and as soon as the words left my mouth I saw this 😅 Could not agree more!
Great video! So many great insights. Anyone told you before that you are a great writer? I feel like your actual script it really strong. Intro and the delivery hooked me immediately.
Great video, a lot of these things I know by feeling or intuition so it was so cool to see them with neat motion graphics, I can't imagine all the work you put in it to handle all the timings.
Absolutely top-tier content. Sincere thanks for putting this together, man. And as an addendum - your motion graphics/graphic design skills really elevate the video. So elegant and clear. I used to have a job making classroom science films so I really appreciate this shit.
I do know most of this, or did, but it's so good sometimes to have things reiterated to firm up ideas we already have stored away somewhere. Going entirely by instinct, I tend to do the same things over and over and fail to access parts of my prior knowledge. Thanks for this.
Congrats on the well made educational video. It's a high quality one. A lot of practical examples makes it very useful for beginners. At lest that's how IMO good teachers teach. 20+ years ago I was learning such things by myself, while composing music in trackers. Cheers. :)
I think this is one of the most complete (for beginners) and concise video on the subject ! Great job ! I knew about the polys but your video helped me spot the differences between polyrythms and polymeters more clearly ! thank you :)
Great video. Very informative and easy to digest/note take. I've been producing various genres of Electronic Music for over 12 years and still find myself coming back to the fundamentals of rhythm, and song structure.
Best video on rhythms I've seen. Hanging with it for a while now, studying it and recreating its concepts. Thank you so much for putting it out - fantastic overview!
One of the best tutorials on rhythm I've ever seen! I've been playing music for years, but have often struggled with rhythm; I think the understanding I have now of some of these concepts is going to be huge for me going forward!
Pausing midway to say - this is another truly phenomenal resource you’ve given us all! Thank you so much, this is incredible stuff. Your ability to turn dry concepts into understandable & interesting examples is awesome.
Happy to be a patron! Videos like this one keep me excited about my own musical journey. I've done this before in a tweet back when I was on twitter ages ago and here I go manifesting again. I think you're a great teacher Jeremy, and I think you should look into working with Complexly (the Crash Course people) on something. Keep on keeping on man.
Love how this video can translate to other forms/genres of music! Would love to see a video like this that explores rhythms of hardcore genres like grindcore and powerviolence
That was excellent, learned a lot, it's like I've done it all but also done none of it, filled in a lot of holes in my knowledge and led me to what I should be learning and focusing on next.
Thank You Jeremy. Arranging drums is something I’ve always been lazy to do on my tracks. The ABAC - ABAD sounds like a simple and effective way to create enough variations on a track, I’ll always remember that now :)
This was so helpful! Rhythm has been a sticking point for me in both my playing and my production, so this primer has given me a lot to think about and research!
thanks for this one, i always struggle with my drums even after 15 years of making music no matter the genre, so its nice to get these kinds of detailed yet easily digestible refreshers to help me remember to not overthink things plus ive been binging your channel again lately so its extra nice to see it now lol
This is so helpful, some of the details that Jeremy explains simply are not covered anywhere (as far as I know, and I watch tons of educational music videos). I really struggle with drumbeats more than with melodies and harmonies because there is less good theory around. I now have something very concrete, even more concrete than the excellent histories of jungle and techno. So if this isn’t going to help me writing better drum beats, nothing will. Thank you!
“It’s the shit you don’t hear” You ain’t kidding tho it be like the 2nd or 3rd listen when you start picking up on that “shit you don’t hear” that makes you keep coming back. I fw that beat too that was nice
Really enjoying this style of video. It plays on your strengths: teaching, experience with the matter being taught, and a very pleasant voice and cadence. I hope these are enjoyable to produce for you, because I'd like to see more but not at the 'cost' of the OP-1 videos (which I enjoy for the same reasons).
Thank you for this video, I'm a beginner musician without any formal training and this was very entertaining and easy to follow. Big fan of your work, especially "no politics".
I just wanted to say "thank you!" I think this video helped me to understand the basics of drums better than any class I've taken to date... And I latched on to the "A-B-A-C-A-B-A-D" way of doing drums.
"That Goo Goo Doll song" does switch from 3/4 to 4/4 in the instrumental section (and then back to 3/4 again), so it might be a confusing example if people go to that song as a 3/4 example.
This was really good. Informative, but just generally delightful to listen to - you're continuously a wonderful creator and presenter. (Anxiously awaits the sequel video, rhythm with Max Blasterson)
Dude .... i am mainly a guitar player ... however you said in this video everything I did .... "instinctively" did when it came to creation of Rhythms .... especially for Electronic Music .... But you Put it "In theory" that I can now apply to "logically" to my music ..... as opposed to .... well "instinctively" ... Thanks for sharing all the Information among us fellow Musicians . .... Great Soundpacks ... BTW 🤩🤟
The video is perfect for playing in the background while scrolling through comments seeing the people trying to claim that, somehow, 'acab' promotes hatred and violence more than, y'know, the 'c' in acab are infamous for. Truly amazing! Also some parts of this video feel like a modern version of This Is The Hook, and I love it.
Finally a video that explains why I've got more than 20 plugins I put under "drums". To be fair, most of them are from [Native Instruments] Komplete, so yeah. 2:37 I'd considered them 4/4 dotted: exactly as you put each beat a la 4/4 have three instead of one. Just like a dotted note. 4:01 I'd say this is progressive [house], judging by the arpeggio - anothe staple of progressive.
