so is your left 3/2 while the right is in 2/4 or 4/4? i have not tried this yet on the set but it sounds really cool.

[schoolofmusiconline]

@trasuranic The simplest way to think about it would be in 6/8 with the left hand playing 1 2 3 4 5 6 (starting on the snare) and the right playing the 16th notes in between in groups of 4 (starting on the first tom).

@Mahaweilo From your lack of interpunction and the use of 'xD', I got the suspicion that you're a teenager - and I was right, as you're 19. How exactly can you speak for 'everybody who ever played drums'?

For your information, I came up with this exact same idea on my own, when I was about 14. It's actually very easy to play, just a bit of a mindfuck.

Tomas Haake, Virgil Donati and a lot of others could easily play this. Try this: /watch?v=stiHAHJuxWY - THAT's hard. (Also not impossible)

Peace!

@XxSharkBatexX totally agree of what you said

[skippyskatestuff]

@schoolofmusiconline How do you tune our toms??? D:

[Skinsmasher66]

Very cool!!!

[TheMichaelseymour]

sacha ... i really like the tone of your drums ...{apart from the content } very "crisp" sound.

very good sound quality too ....excellent all around.

@XxSharkBatexX I haven't touched a set in more than 10 years and could easily play this. Also, this is a "polymeter", not a "polyrhythm"

[candy1a68]

Nice job. Pay not attention to the mindless freaks

[candy1a68]

Now this is different. so much better than some of the mindless bull that has been on the tube. Nice job

[Ismaelthefirst]

NOT A POLYRYTHM! Some nice school of music you are...

[MrBKreeves]

that snare sounds amazing

[zappafan45]

Yeah! I can do it.

Nice camera angles. There is just so much stuff one can learn on the drums. Playing the drums is a lifelong journey with new discoveries along the way.
