This video even further explains polyrhythmic theory than Part 1. Understanding is always the most important part! This also explains where the video series is going.

In a polyrhythm's most basic form we can take the top number as it's subdivision and the bottom number to dictate our meter and spacing within the subdivision. Watch the video to see how it's done!

  • Im a little confused on that second beat you came up with. You said 3 as in 3 quarter notes of 3/4. So how did you accent the 32nd notes with 32nd note triplets if it was 3/4. My confusion points me in the direction that it should be accented every 6th 32nd note, instead of every 3rd. Sorry if this is a confusing question to, you don't have sheet music of this do you?

  • @mrmoose1337 Hey man! Thanks for the question and I'm sorry it was confusing :)

    First up, there's no triplets in that example at all. It's straight up ordinary 32nd notes. Which means we have eight notes per quarter. In 3/4 that results in 24 notes within the bar. To make eight equally spaced accents in that we have to play every third one. So take it really slow, kick on each quarter note and accent every third 32nd note which will give you eight equally spaced accents over three pulse notes!

  • @mrmoose1337 I'll transcribe it real quick and post a link to the transcription in the description for the video, gimme a few minutes to get it uploaded

  • @mrmoose1337 Alright, the transcription is the first link under the video. Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have any further questions. :)

  • @aaronedgardrum Well damn makes alot more sense to me on paper. I really appreciate the time transcribing it man.

  • @mrmoose1337 No problem! I'm glad I was able to clear it up for you :)
