  • Poly rhythm is when you put two time signatures together but make them different tempos so they still match up at the end of the measure and a multimeter is when you put two time signatures together at the same tempo so they actually usually take multiple measures to match up again. I mis spoke when I called this a poly rhythm.

  • That's awesome though you should know that it's actually a polymeter.

    You haven't taken any theory classes, don't kid yourself.

    7/8 and 6/8 are two different METERS, hence playing 7/8 over 6/8 would be a polyMETER.

    I already told you to do research before talking, yet you still talk without doing research and you're pretty arrogant about it. You're making a very common mistake. Now calm down, read the following article and appologise afterwards.

  • @bassbaby82 this is polyphony, multiple melodies

  • what the hell down there?

  • @whatshendrix You're right this is actually a multimeter. My bad.

  • Polyrhythm is like playing duplets(eight notes) and triplets at the same time. IE tap your foot to a slow beat. In one hand tap twice per beat and in the other tap 3 times per beat. If you succeed, well you just did a polyrhythm. :)

  • Polymeter...

  • @fenderwangcaster this is what the world is turning into....

  • @fenderwangcaster

    Ah, the denial phase... Did you even read the article from the link I gave you? Educated yourself, man, don't make a fool of yourself.
