ODD TIMED DRUMMING | Drum lesson with Jay Postones (TESSERACT) 

The first time I heard meshuggah I thought the same thing… it’s so random! But I promise it isn’t - there’s almost always a pattern that repeats at an odd point, and it’s about learning how to hear that displaced ostinato against whatever pulse you’re keeping.

It is Exile, yes! There is a section on the ride though.... I promise

@@JayTesseracT hmm... let me use this as an excuse to listen through it all again :p

@@JayTesseracT Found it. The section after How do you sleep at night? is played on the ride. I guess it's been too long since I've last listened to the record after all 🙈

You’re welcome! Check out the other lessons on my channel sometime if you dig this. There’s plenty of odd time stuff in there

Mate, you can have as many electric kits as you want. You just have to buy them

Well said! ❤

On my website 😎 - and thanks for the kind words

No, but that actually uses the same Poly!

No, I’ve set the sensitivity on my Roland module so that those tiny rebounds don’t trigger a sound. I play the same way on my acoustic kit. It’s never been an issue even in recordings - even though I know some drummers and educators would get you to stop playing this way… it works fine for me.

@@JayTesseracT I’ve always buried the beater here and there and always had this issue. Lately I’ve been keeping the beater off but I’m definitely gonna try this Thank you so much !

In the same way that some athletes have a physical advantage, some of us have a mental advantage too. I have always found it pretty easy to hear and interpret numbers rhythmically - which is likely functional autism aka ‘talent’ - but these ‘feels’ can be learned too with time. Slow it down and place it on a grid - for example with the 3/4 polyrhythm, create a grid of 3x4 - 12 beats, and use the numbers to figure out where each of the other number lands within that 12-count: 1+3 = 4 4+3 = 7 7+3 = 10 So the 4’s will land on the 1, 4, 7 and 10 of a 12-note count. Do the same for the 3’s using the 4 to measure the timing: 1+4 = 5 5+4 = 9 So, 1, 5, and 9. Play one of those counts on your left hand, and the other on your right, all the way up to 12, then repeat. You can do this to work out any polyrhythm 👍🏻

Ohh.. thank you very much . I will try my best to build it with practice..

No, but good guess

@@JayTesseracT damn. It’s exile isn’t it lol

A little jingle our guitarist Acle wrote that we never used. It was the music for the Tess' podcast, until I stopped doing those. So I nabbed it for these lessons to make me appear 100% pro.

@@JayTesseracT hope someday it will be a new TesseracT song😃

I'm very sorry for your awful experience. I'll try harder to offer quality free resources next time. Also, you could just not watch or comment on my videos.... just saying.
