  • Is this technically a polyrhythm? He is accenting every 5th beat in a 4/4 groove, but the 5 grouping doesnt fit over the 4 grouping. Isnt that what a polyrhthm is?  Wouldnt a 5 over 4 polyrhythm be a quintuplet played over 4 beats? Or would that actually be a polymeter?

  • @RaddNiner The fill is essentially a polymetric fill. The accents create a 4 over 5 polyrhythm.

  • Are the sheets avaliable anywhere? Just to print them out as I find it easyer to learn the beats when I brake the beats down

  • @DisturbedBehaviours Sorry, no sheets for most of the YouTube lessons.

  • Very nice video !!!

    What snare drum and ride are you using?

  • Thanks.

    It's a Pearl free floating 5x14 snare (wood) and a 20" K Custom Medium ride.

  • ...O.o this frazzled my brain D:

  • The best thing in my opinion about polyrhythms is you can make nice and smooth tempo changes instead of changing the tempo out of nowhere. Great example is from the band Between the Buried and Me. They do it all the time!

  • Love that floor tom/snare flam fill round 6:44.

    Great vid as usual Joe!

  • Ha that beat at 3:40 is almost the exact same beat b4 the solo in rosetta stoned by Tool.
