My two favorite polyrhythms 5:4 & 4:3

Here's my two favorite polyrhythms. Playing the backbeat over these polyrhythms adds so much depth to these beats. It takes a lot of practice, but it's worth learning.

So many comments on why his hi hats are so far away from his snare. I'll make it easy for you to compute. When a drummer plays open-handed, the hats are further away. I play both styles and I do the same thing with my hats. Its way easier to play open-handed with the hats further away.

@iheartZildjian Thank you!!! I wish I could have my hi-hat a little closer but the stand interferes with my other pedals. The two pedals on the left are a cowbell and tambourine.

You have one of the most retarded setups I've seen in a long time. Your cymbal is sideways, your hi-hat is 80 feet away from your snare, and you have two kick pedals that you have to kick sideways. What's up with that?

@lowellroxz First of all, what's up with you? Jerk ass

[ricardoieci]

what head s u use on your snare?

[janken919]

@ricardoieci EVANS HD Dry and EVANS GENERA G1 for the reso.

Your 5/4 is not. It's a great poly rhythm that you are playing but the 5 has to be equally subdivided and what you are playing is a syncopated beat.

i notice you have a hard time staying in time

@janken919 You can search around the web for legless hi hat stands, that should help you out. It's pretty much just your standard hi hat stand but you only have the pedal that takes up space and not 2 or 3 legs coming down any which way. Was thinking about getting one myself.

@lowellroxz sorry, i should have been specific: my comment only addresses about why his hats are so far away from the snare. i dont know why his pedals are like that.

[iheartZildjian]

@lowellroxz maybe youve never a open-hand drummer? check out carter beauford from the dave matthews band. hes amazing and he plays the same way.

@darzil007 That's such an arrogant answer. I've seen videos on YouTube where people are drumming with high heels or without any pair of shoes and still being great.
