@@realn1ggamotionits a phrygian dominant mode (harmonic b4) been in egyptian and greek culture for centuries dick dale doesnt own that modal scale. The original is traditional greek as much as i love his version he did not write that song.🤦♂️😂👍
Playing fast: he’s tapping everything at the same spacing between notes but it’s just one melody. Polyrhythms: he’s doing two different Melodies at once with each having different spacing between the beats
That’s so cool. It’s mesmerising to watch someone do something difficult and beautiful at the same time! But it’s also confusing cuz it looks like you’re barley touching it😭
Polyrhythms are easier for me than melody! But i also have an issue with my right hand where my middle finger had no tendon. Surgery made it so that i can move it but only when using my index and ring finger to "drive" it so to speak. So im the exact opposite of this video but you're correct in that polyrhythms take a long time to master, would love to see some 5:4 jamming in that key!
ugh 3:4 rhythm always fucked me up in band id always get out of place in practice and get called out so often it was so embarassing, adhd doesnt help when your trying to focus on only two things being those two paces XD
I feel you! the trick is to not think about it as two things happening at the same time but as just one wierd rhythm. the simplest way to do that is to put some words to the 3:4 rhythm. the phrase "pass the goddamn butter" is what I use. the rhythm of the phrase is exactly that of the 3:4 polyrhythm so instead of trying to think of two beats at the same time you can just memorise the phrase and play the rhythm from memory. hope that helps! btw sorry if my explaination is difficult to understand. english is not my first language😅.
I would assume the second one is harder because you don’t have a rhythmic beat in your ear, so you have to keep the tempo up yourself, thus making things more difficult
Nope, he’s keeping track of 2 separate rhythms in his head (hence why he isn’t playing one aloud) one hand is playing in a 4:4 timing while the other is playing in a 3:3 timing. This is insanely hard and pretty much cannot be done reliably without a lot of practice.
thank you! I have been playing since I was three years old so it's been around 16 years, but with practice you could get pretty good in a year or two. please please please follow your dreams. yes it's hard but trust me it's also very rewarding. I wish you all the best in your musical journey!
Wow if that's you actually playing then you're really good! Hopefully I could become that good one day.... I'm still learning 😅, I love my handpan though, beautiful instrument it is!
I get that the poly rhythm is harder and i don't want to knock your talent at all, but i say stick to the first style. It was easier, according to you, and sounded really cool. Seriously, cool instrument. Thanks for sharing.
thank you! I think the best way to get fast is to start slow and try not to tense up. If you rush yourself into playing fast without practicing slow first your playing will be sloppy and tiring. I know it's tedious to practice slow but trust me it'll be worth it. hope that helps :)
Hi! those are called "udu drum"s! It's basically a vase with a hole on the side it sounds super cool and weird. I highly recommend you check them out, there are great videos of them here on youtube!
