to: "MuseDuCafe" Yep, this is not for everybody, that's true. However a 3 minute clip is just an introduction to a very progessive rhythmic concept. I really recommend purchasing the book "Polyrhythms The Musicians Guide" and to start at the beginning. It is step by step process. BTW Polyrhythms and Polymeter is a "World Music" concept. We are behind in this area but it's there and does wonders for your musicianship - if you play drums only in 4/4 time, or play violin in a symphony orchestra.

The clip above is for all musicians ! However if you play drums or percussion you might want to own The official 26' Polyrhythm Rudiments.These are the original 26 standard snare drum rudiments now re-formatted into six basic polyrhythms. You don't have to master them all to benifit. Go To: cdbaby.com and search: The 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments. Leave an Email Address when you download the introductory cd - Then a PDF file of all 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments will be emailed to you directly.

"fizz225" is correct. This is what is happening with "Polyrhythms an Introduction". Nothing wrong with other concepts but this is what is going on here. "Polyrhythms The Musicians Guide" (the 1st book) covers it all. "Polyrhythms For The Drumset" applies them to the kit. It can get difficult granted but the concepts are age old in other cultures and do a lot for your musicianship. Get into them and out of them at any time. The study will add "lanes" to your rhythmic highway.

Like this comment if you ended on this video because you listen to "Djent" Bands

I eat polyrhythms for breakfast

[djembeweaver]

@paigebobba No. By this guy's definition it is two pulses played simultaneously. More often it's two (or more) rhythms that each imply a different pulse. This is very common in west african 12/8 rhythms. This means that you can hear the rhythm in two distinct ways. Have you ever seen a "Necker Cube" that can appear to come towards you or away from you depending how you look at it? Well this is the aural equivalent. Since 12 can be divided by either 4 or 3 any 12 beat cycle can have 2 pulses.

Hey guys go easy. You cannot hope to be an expert with a 3 minute you tube clip. However this shoud be enough to get you into it. Also, this is for musicians who have some experience playing and reading music. If you are one then I really suggest that you "buy" the book. "Polyrhythms The Musicians Guide" ( peter magadini) Also: polyrhythms come from playing "polymeters" ie: playing in two time signatures at the same time. The results of what you play in those time signatures become "polyrhythms"

He is a terrible teacher

[paigebobba]

So a polyrhythm is just one rhythm played over another? I'm confused

[kbonzie]

Come on, you guys. These clips are out there so that they may assist you with your ongoing musical education. I own this DVD, along with so many other educational materials. Just listen and try to learn something new. By the way, I eat Polyrythms, too for breakfast! What does this mean?

@LeopoldDavidMusic I do mostly listen to jazz music , i play jazz guitar mostly.I also played classical piano for ... 13 or 14 years now , since i was a kid actually .

but yeah , i do listen to djent a lot . And tons of progressive . And that polyrythm thing is awesome . I use it a lot , since years , in what i play ... And yeah. It's tough to get other musicians to get what i do , sometimes. This kind of video will help me being better at it, and better at explaining it.

@MusicalDarkHorse The polyrhythms resolve when they reach a common factor correct? Like a 3:7 would resolve at 21? Correct me if I'm wrong please because I've only been practicing these for about a week now.

[MusicalDarkHorse]

Another thing, is that all polyrhythms EVENTUALLY will resolve; in other words there is a single note where it recollects itself. Getting there is the tricky part. I like how this is done on the drumset, it makes it easy to hear

[MuseDuCafe]

This is piss poor instruction unless the student is already half-way into the concept or practice of it.
