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!

@SaherGalt 7 лет назад

Thanks Martin, that makes me very happy to hear :)

@blankname4716 3 года назад

Yea lol it makes much more sense than using decimals...

@mrammons81 7 лет назад

This is by far one of the best videos I've seen on RU-vid 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”.

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.

@thelemite935 Месяц назад

👆👽 THAT. When you feel it..that's when you're one with it and don't need to count a thing....

@LysergicJesus 4 года назад

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.

@bruxermusic7044 6 лет назад

very nice tutorial. You managed to explain polyrhythms in the first minute of the video and the examples were super helpful.

@RFcity712 5 лет назад

FINALLY! A video on polyrhythms I can actually understand. Thank you so much!

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.

@emmat88 2 года назад

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!

for anyone having trouble with the 2:3 polyrhythm, the way I learned it was through the "Hark how the bells" holidays song. It sounds exactly like a 2:3

@adamanderson8799 5 лет назад

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

@alexhebert9981 Год назад

@jamisbillson4872 5 лет назад

@decent1345 Год назад

@vidiac2012 6 лет назад

Excellently explained! Thank you!

@RacingStripeAV 7 лет назад

Very helpful. Althoguh admittedly, my brain was switching the "eighth" and "tuplet", so rather than doing a triplet and later septuplet in 2/4, I was basically counting two bars of 3/8 (then later 7/8).

@SaherGalt 7 лет назад

Yeah, that can happen. To keep the underlying meter clearly defined, try to also tap your foot to the quarter note beat and put emphasis on your rhythmic figures there.

@thickoquick573 2 года назад

Might actually be a 2:3 polyrhythm. Not entirely sure but I'm learnig the bass part and it sounds like it to me.

@chessaddict4077 6 лет назад

-- "Pass the god-damned but-ter" -- Say that in your head at normal speaking speed -- Both R L R L-R -- Tap with your corresponding hand to the corresponding word above it. Congratulations. You can now play a 3/4 polyrhythm, and will think of butter every time you do.

WHERE's budDY RICH? WHERE's budDY RICH? Btw the polyrhythm you were talking about is usually referred to as a "4:3" but to each his own. I'm just being a nitpicker

@rnsnkl 5 лет назад

What an amazing video. I finally understand!

@simonhoarau-piano9679 3 года назад

A good way that I foundes to find how to correctly divide the beat is to find a comme number in the multiplication tables of the two units we want to opposite. And of course, take the smallest number we can take, so the original beat is divided as little as possible. Example : 3 against 4 = Multiplication table of 3 : 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, etc. Same for 4 : 4, 8, 12, 16, etc. We see that there's the same number in both : 12. So we have to divide the beat into 12 parts to place and the three and the four beats. I hope it was useful ! ^o^
