@titucolceri7489 9 месяцев назад

I've seen a lot of musicians make these types of arguments when in fact, it's arbitrary. It depends entirely on whether the composed piece uses quarter notes, eighth notes, half notes or even 16th notes as the base meter. It also depends entirely on the written tempo. I stopped using "7/8" or "7/4" a while ago since you can't know the intended root beat structure without talking to the artist. I find it's more accurate to talk about time signatures as functions of a musical phrase. Where does the phrase start and stop? How many beats are present in each phrase? Then just call it a phrase in 4 , or 6 or 13 or whatever the artist is using.

@cdsiema3914 9 месяцев назад

@nuuhishere6752 Год назад

in general it has to do with grouping more than that. 7/4 are seven beats and 7/8 is generally and combination of 2, 2 and 3 beats. So for example you'd count "1 2 1 2 1 2 3"

@scopilio13 Год назад

but you can group the quarter note the same way in 7/4 as the eight notes in 7/8. 7/4 is essentially an augmentation if 7/8.

@nuuhishere6752 Год назад

@@scopilio13 of course you *can* if you want to. But this is usually the reason why people use 7/8 instead of 7/4. It also has to do with tempo. A 7/4 is usually much slower than a 7/8 so it's not necessary to pulse it. 7/8 and even more so 5/8 most of the time can only really be played if you pulse it.

@bradparker9664 9 месяцев назад

@stevepruitt6406 Год назад

You didn’t explain how they were different. You demonstrated what the rhythm groupings would be if the quarter note tempo remained equal; using your example, you could have made the quarter note in 7/4 and eighth note in 7/8 as the same tempo to make the rhythms sound identical. What you should have pointed out is that 7/4 is a simple meter (eighth notes grouped by twos, which differs from compound meter where 8Th notes are grouped in 3’s)) and 7/8 is a complex meter (eighth notes grouped both simple and compound). Slightly more complicated answer, but keeping the same tempo for the quarter note between both meters seemed like a lowbrow way to demonstrate metric differences.

They're actually both odd time signatures. The only real difference between them is how they look on the page, you can group the beats however you like

@callanc3925 11 месяцев назад

The thing is the feeling of the music is what dictates which time signature is correct. For most popular music, kick and snare are on the quarter notes, hence for most popular music that is what dictates whether its 7/8 or 7/4.

@johnnycbad 10 месяцев назад

The drummer is arguing from a specific context. She's playing a typical backbeat (snare on every even numbered 1/4 note). In 7/4 that's 3 snare hits (on the 2 4 and 6), whereas in 7/8 it's only 2 snare hits (on the 3 and 7). It results in a different rhythmic feel. What she says doesn't apply to music without a backbeat as part of its foundation.

@Mejoree113 8 месяцев назад

7/8 is often felt as 4 and 3, snare placement and groove makes a big difference. Ultimately though music theory exists purely as a way for us to communicate ideas, so we have 7/4 and 7/8 because it makes it easier to relay ideas/explain/understand what's going on.

@andycharlton6798 Год назад

I heard a good tip once from Rod Morganstein. If you count 7/8 as 12334567, you can fall into counting it as ..... "Five six sev-en" and you're back in 4/4. Better to count as, "....... Five, six, sev', one two...' (I did notice you count "Seven" in 16th notes to avoid this.)

@joshrelf9477 Год назад

You count it as 8th notes or Quavers, because it literally means 7 quavers. So count 1 & 2 & 3 & 4. You'll notice this has one less eighth note than in 4/4 if you are to break it into 8th note rhythms.

Try to count 7/8 like 3+2+2 and accent start of each group. That's how we do it on Balkan, because it's natural to our folk music and it's easy to understand it that way... Like: one-two-three, one-two, one-two. Similarly with 9/8... It helps :)

@SJohnTrombley 10 месяцев назад

You understand the difference l, but I don't think you communicated it very well. The important part is where the strong beats fall, and I think the emphasis on eighth notes kind of confuses things. The important thing is that 7/4 has 7 equally spaced strong beats, while 7/8 has some unequally spaced sequence of strong beats (usually some permutation of 2+2+3, I guess 2+2+2+1 if you're playing math rock).

@jgt_ 9 месяцев назад

It’s not always that simple. One technique often employed by drummers is to alternate where the strong beats fall between each bar. The band will be playing in 7/8, and it will feel a bit like the drummer is playing one bar of 7/4 for every two bars of 7/8 the rest of the band is playing.

@ExaltedDuck 9 месяцев назад

They can be almost the same.depending on tempo and.subdivision. It's like... 6/8 and 2/2 are pretty different but if you have a song written in 2/2 with all quarternotes as triplets and then swing them a little, it's basically 6/8. So to that end the differences between 7/4 and 7/8 are a lot like the differences between 2/4 and 2/2.

@kevinmerino7432 6 месяцев назад

In band we were taught to think 7/8 in groupings, so 12 12 123 or 123 12 12. Same goes for 5/8, 12 123 or 123 12. Made a huge difference when learning how to feel these rhythms

@ibbumpn 11 месяцев назад

You are absolutely incorrect. The only difference is in how it is written. That being said, if you tell someone to play in 7/8 or 7/4 they are more likely to put the emphasis where you would like it.

@edgunther8136 7 месяцев назад

@gronodon 10 месяцев назад

I think the gist is that each one has a different vibe. If your piece is fast-moving with a pattern like 2-2-3 then it likely makes sense to write it 7/8, and if it’s more deliberate & slower paced 7/4 may be acceptable. Although tbh this example makes them sound the exact same, which in practice isn’t true and just muddies the waters for no reason

@firefox7801 9 месяцев назад

@SilverlandgmodTV 10 месяцев назад

7/4 = 14/8 and 7/8 = 3.5/4 (although you'd never write the second one that way) is another way to think of the difference between the two time signatures. Time signatures are like fractions, although in music there are good reasons to sometimes not to write them in simplest form. Although 4/4 is the same as 1/1; that would just be a silly way to write common time.

Most instruments aren't playing two things at the same time, the way drum kits can. So the primary functional difference is in note grouping. X/8 tends to involve triplets and three-beat structures more often than x/4.

Time signatures are just there to help us conceptualize music and what we want to play/what we are hearing. Technically, these are both 7/4 and 7/8.

Practically though, 7/8 is usually split in different combinations of rhythmical emphasis. Taka taka takata (1,2 1,2 1,2,3), or takata takameeni (1,2,3 1,2,3,4) etc. Even weirder combinations in Eastern European music!

@jaylocked9072 9 месяцев назад

So this is technically correct in terms of the subdivisions. So yes 7/4 is 7 notes divided over quarter notes, and 7/8 is 7 eight notes divided over eighth notes. But how you subdivide it or count it out is really going to depend on the composition and style of music you're gonna play. your version is right if youre playing straight eighths/straight quarters. So for example, in my experience, i generally feel out 7/8 more like a 6/8+an eighth note. So I count it 123-123-&-123-123-& or 123-456-7-123-456-7 or 123-123-1-123-123-1 - this is more typical of swing, big band music, and jazz music. Where the eights are usually grouped in triplets. And a lot of the 7/8 i've seen is generally written in triplets with an extra eighth incorporated. It's honestly more rare in my opinion to see a 7/8 written as straight eighths although it can be (at least in mt experience anyhow). They're two very different feels composition wise.

Well technically it can be the same if you scale all other notes by the same factor. I also played an instrument a while ago and being math focused I never really understood why it said "4/4" and not just "1" or what the difference is between 2/4 and 1/2, because it all comes down to the notes. Tempo 60 or 120 can also be the same. You could also play a 7/8 written down in a 4/4 by just writing down the notes accordingly. I had similar thoughts about why tf we had flat and sharp notes if any flat note can be written down as a sharp note. It all comes down to easier interpretation and readability and today I can better understand why you would do that.

Damn I was looking forward to seeing the 2 together. Guess I'll never know.

Dangerous explanation. You should specify: "Keeping the same pace" what you said makes sense. But if you have a 7/4 at 80=crotchet and then you have a 7/8 at a slower tempo (i.e. 50=crotchet) the two things are basically the same. The important thing to lay stress on is that 7/x is a irregular tempo, which means that we perceive it as a sum of two basic patterns (4+3 or 3+4). This is always true.

7/4 and 7/8 (even 7/16 and 7/32) would absolutely sound the same. The difference only exist when writing and reading it. It has nothing to do with tempo or the hi-hat.
