    That accenting one every 7 notes 25/16 groove is actually really cool.

    I am not a drummer, but I can see that there is something valuable for drummers here. In fact, it's not just for drummers, but for those trying to learn music. I appreciate it.

      Yes, I think you are right. I hope this video is giving an idea and a practical demonstration about irrational time signatures, also maybe inspire someone to learn and use them.

    never really understood how these work but this helped me understand, i love all sort of time signature weirdness so hopefully ill be confident enough to play in an irrational time signature soon

    I will stick to the classic odd meters and odd groupings. Thanks though, you are quite jaw dropping as a drummer. Have a good day!

      Thanks! Yes with odd meters and groupings there is so much to do already 😄(and so much to master!)

    The things you are doing are rare like very very rare... I am into this thing for over 2 years now its a whole new world .. irrational signature exists but no one talks about it .. the world of tuplets are fascinating as hell...
    But the reason why people dont talk about irrational signature is the fact that it can not exist independently without a rational bar .. for instance you have to have a base click on which you are doing the modulations.. and if you just minimalize the jerk of every odd notes by doubling the top even if its irrational without a base click it will just sound like a normal signature... So people will just stick to modulations...
    However orchestra peeps doing this for centuries

      Yes, depending on the time signature context they can be the best solution

      Hey fam. I figured to minimize the jerk nesting it is the best solution simple hertas or sticking can do wonders... Love from India. I hope you are doing great and irrationalising on the kit. Happy drumming ❤️

    It seems Brian Krock's prediction of irrational time signatures becoming more common has (kinda) come true!

    Abstract math metrics - hope the hype of odd time signatures/prog music comes to an end :-)

      It's not just prog music. Actually Thomas Adés popularised the "irrational" time signatures in his 1997 piece Asyla, and the practice has spread everywhere now.... Jazz, Math Rock and classical music are taking that technique forward. You can't stop progress!!!

    Why does traditional music theory make it so confusing why not just say how many beats there are in the bar like instead of writing a 8/12 time signature you can just say that there are 8/3 beats in the bar.

    • @Pietro.Valente
      @Pietro.Valente  Рік тому

      Interesting, so in your idea 8 is the number of beats and 3 is the subdivision?

      @@Pietro.Valente if I have x beats per bar I can just put 1/x and that'll give me what the subdivisions look like. 5 beats per bar means the bar is subdivided with distances between them of 1/5 bars
