Evan from Last Chance to Reason explains a groove in their song "Upload Complete." The beat consists of a 4/4 pattern played with the hands while the kick accents the 15/16 pattern that the rest of the band locks into.

  • Dude, fantastic drumming. I have to ask though, what do you use for your cymbal stacks?

  • @YorgySchmorgy64 I use zildjian trashformers on top of wuhan chinas which are mounted on x-hats. There's a 10" + 8" stack and 10" + 12" stack and a 14" + 18" stack.

  • nice.. its hard to fathom immediately, but i guess if its written down, and practice right over and over again, it should be easy..

  • I FUCKING LOVE COMPLEX RHYTHMS AND TIME SIGNATURES!!!!

  • @lastchance2reason oh yeah, I see. I thought of the band as playing eight notes as if it was double time since the tempo would be way down if those were sixteenth notes. But that would obviously not mean 15/16, but 8/8+7/8 instead, which I should've figured it out just by reading the video title, so my bad, haha!

  • @sssssssev If you're counting in 4/4 time in 16th notes I'm hitting the snare on the 2 and 4 of every measure. Every successive measure my 1 is moving one 16th note ahead of the band so after four measures I'm one full quarter note away from the band. You're probably counting the part in 8th notes which would make the snare hits on the 3 every time and change the math of counting. That works too though!

  • Basically in this song.. I copied tomas haake from meshuggah.

  • btw, he looks like a way more bad ass version of Jesse Eisenberg

  • 0:51 is pretty god damn amazing

  • And by the way, I'm pretty sure I hate you for making this video. This is some sick drumming. Like, vomiting up blood sick.

  • @clmanzo123 They got frustrated and decided that it was a bad video because they couldn't understand.

  • @juanbarros88 This is definitely polymeter, which is very different from polyrhythm. If it was a polyrhythm then it would "line up" after one phrase. Since it is polymetric then it continues to change until it "lines up" again after X number of phrases.
