Dude I'm honestly super hyped for this. You've been my favorite drummer since Gnosis and to catch some lessons from you is reason enough for me to buy a kit and give a it a go!
Lost me in the first minute 😂 but you left me feeling inspired to eventually make sense of it all! As a new student to drumming and someone with primary school level music theory knowledge, would you have any recommendations for virtual lessons or a teach yourself style of lessons? And any recommendations on electronic drum kits for a beginner? Thanks in advance, huge fan, keep making those dope fills!
Hey! Thanks so much for the comment I'm so glad you felt inspired from it! It's my goal to create lessons for entry level up to advanced skills with this particular style in mind, but for now it's a work in progress! For now, many of these skills can be learned really efficiently through online learning! Have you checked out Drumeo or Mikeslessons.com before?? All the best!
I'm not a drummer but I do write music and as a result have to write/program the drums and this was a very helpful video! I had already known somewhat about the counting and just letting that run over a 4/4 bar but it always felt like that was cheating (compared to I guess just, "feeling" it) and so it's reassuring to know that it is entirely okay to construct rhythm patterns in that way.
Yes, it’s no different to understand the mechanisms here for performance or programming. You can also use tools like Beat Scholar to handle the displacements for you, check out my preset pack tutorial video on mine or their channel to see more about that!
when i opened the video, i was thinking exactly that "4/4 on hands, 16s on kick using compund meter" asicaly bleed's "1231 1231 1231 1231" kicks over a 4/4 snare and cymbals (im still learning rhythm theory lol)
Wow, that was super helpfull!!! So basicly the trick is some kind of "shuffled" 16th triplets on the base drum? 😅 Thx, I was desperatly looking for this specific micro-division, though trying to use polyrythms while programming, I could never get the kick to sound right... I am going to program this patterns for further studies 😁
It's always challenging making content that's interesting for a broad range of skill levelled musicians. I'm always working on developing new methods and pathways to help people get this kind of process going! I have a theory booster course in the works for MalyanDrum Academy which should help people out a bit, although there's already lots of resources out there! Let me know what does & doesn't make sense and I'll try and help :)
@@MalyanDrum hey its cool i just bought beat scholar and thats how i came across your content. I do really want to know this stuff and not rely on beat scholar so I'm going out of my way to learn the theory as i learn the plug in. I will be watching your videos multiple times until i get it. great stuff and thank you!
@@WforWrath that's really cool! I'm using it as a fast writing and committing tool on the road, I'm really enjoying building presets for Beat Scholar and making lots of fun note grouping experiments. Have you seen my full preset tutorial video for Beat Scholar?
@@MalyanDrum not yet! i'll watch! i watched Composing Prog Metal & Djent with Beat Scholar | Mike Malyan (Monuments) and then this video we're commenting on, then i started jamming xD
It's a 20" byzance vintage crash :D The sand crashes are variants on the vintage series. From left to right the crashes are 16" vintage, 18" sand crash, 20" vintage
Thanks so much Seth! For a comprehensive development on this, please check out my lesson on the subject here: malyandrum.academy/p/developing-polymetric-confidence-1 The beginning of the lesson is a free preview, and there's a 7 day free trial available to see if it's a good fit! I hope you enjoy :)
@@MalyanDrum Tonight Song 08's the jam, but loving pretty much all of them. 06, 11, 13 and 15 have been favorites. Saw you guys when you came through NYC in August, great show 🥳
Malyan! This is super cool thank you for sharing the secrets! I have no idea what's going on yet but something at like 2:45 clicked! Hahahah Mega brain stretch.. Seems there is a lot to do with visualization and thinking.
