Okay, it's not really polyrhythmic madness, it's just one polyrhythm played a few times over. It's not even a particularly complex one, but I penned it and decided that it would be fun to play. I really like the riff, I might open a song with it. Expect that soon.

I apologize for the MIDI drums. It was a quick process.

Check my fish. His name is Prometheus.

  • Prometheus is, an awesome name for a fish

  • Not a polyrhythm -__-

  • u mean polymetric

  • The second I saw ur strings i new exactly what it would sound like.

  • @juussttee Obviously not.

  • @TheModCon as a music teacher for a while I can say I'm not speaking of ;)

  • @juussttee Lawl lrn2polyrhythm

    That's polymetric you speak of

  • its like a meshuggah riff face fucked a cloudkicker riff. nice

  • @nycbassist76 If you play sixtuplets on a binary bar it will be polyrythm just because you have binary and ternary at the same time, but if you do a simple 4/4 beats with 4 notes and an other part do exactly the same but doing 8 notes, yes you have two differents rythm but it's still not 'polyrythm', but if you do triplets against a 8th note feel or a shuffle against a 16ths like you said you have binary and ternary, and binary and ternary is not written in the same time signature.

  • @juussttee it has to do with rhythm which could be as simple as playing triplets against an 8th note feel, a shuffle feel against 16ths...it has to do with more than one rhythm at one time...hence..Poly rhythm...not poly time signature...you can play poly rhythms in different time signatures.and yes you can play poly-rhythms in 4/4...you can go back to studying now
