I've Been Working on this Drum Groove for a Year!

in music •  7 years ago 

this one is for a song with The Walding Family. Some really convoluted polyrhythm math going on in the background, but a pretty fun, nod-your-head sort of beat in the foreground.

Been shedding this HARD the last few days in preparation for a recording session. I'm... almost there...

dope ass beat bro

8 beat cycle on the feet. 6 beat cycle on the snare(hits on the even beats). God knows what going on with the hi-hat!

Yea man that's pretty much it. Hi hat hand is just mostly on off beat 16ths

Nice creation

thanks

I loved it!!! I also do covers, play violin and do videos on youtube as well. We have to support the music industry on steemit, that's why I upvoted you :D

That is awesome, thank you for the upvote.

Nice work man. My rhythm is so bad I can barely hold a 4/4 beat on guitar/ukulele, let alone try playing any sort of polyrhythmic drumming.

I really do love a bit of complex rhythmic structure in my music even though I don't always understand why I enjoy it, haha.

Anybody can enjoy a polyrhythm if it's done right. Music doesn't need to be understood to be enjoyed :-)

True, but it certainly helps if you want to be a musician, haha. Also, I have an unhealthy obsession with trying to understand the things I enjoy and why I enjoy them.

Sounds Super Cool!

thank you
