7:11

7:11 Polyrhythm? I've gotten so many requests for this polyrhythms on #drums so here it is! It's infinitely easier to play these polyrhythms without the constraints of time. So knowing where the time is for each rhythm and how it relates to the meter (metronome) is key!

Me: "How many times does 11 fit into 7?"
Jay: "A little tight, but it fits"🤣

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

😂😂

[@afropolski4680]

My brain hurts 😂

[@Boritoman76]

That looks impossibly hard!

[@snarecat3441]

You’re awesome cousin!

[@UndercoverNormie]

"Nikooo, it's your cousin!"

[@robertcullen7202]

Beast mode engaged!!!!!

[@jones2720]

For realsies 👹

[@alexchrist1057]

That's impressive!

[@owen_koz]

awesome!

[@lugaidster]

How do you even practice to be able to do this

[@DrMackSplackem]

That's what I wanted to know. What I would do is 1st draw 11 16th notes into a MIDI track in Ableton Live on one MIDI key and set the time sig to 7/16, Copy/paste those onto a different MIDI key and negative time-stretch to squash them to fit the bar, then select the bar, loop, listen & learn.

[@Purmonk]

Crazy

[@jefflancaster4423]

Awesome thanks for the lesson.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Impressive

[@harddrum9a]

Dis man yah brain good.

[@Paaraadox]

You are a true master of your craft. And as impressive as the polyrhythm is, almost equally as impressive is the switch at the start from counting just the 7, to then counting the 11, with no guiding beats from the metronome, and still being perfectly on time. It's like magic.

[@glenndolleck1262]

Hello Jay. Holy sht. The 11 by itself sounds like a poly-haha. Count out loud both rhythms is hard.

[@H.2.O.]

I can do this, and I never knew the duration. I just memorized the sequence and practiced

[@damdaley8092]

nothing more menacing then a drummer after they just killed a hard ass beat. either they slam their sticks down or they clasp them together.

[@andrewbroughton65]

Brilliant..Is that whats called a polymeter ?

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

Not if the metronome is providing the meter. In that context… the metronome is the meter and what I am playing are notes (rhythms) inside of that meter. So polyrhythm.

[@Bikren]

👏

[@kettlemagic]

Where has this occurred in music? How may it be applied in music? Beats me.

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

Any polyrhythm is just a rhythm… how is any rhythm applied to music?

[@kettlemagic]

Can you make a song out of this polyrhythm? I’m sure it can be done, but it seems tricky. Exercises are cool and all but application is where it’s at.

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

@@kettlemagic not every exercise has to be practical… knowing the outcome of an exercise is key… for example, many drummers practice getting their paradiddles as 16ths at 300bpm… you are rarely, if ever, gonna do that in a song… so why practice it?

[@TastyMcTasty]

Funny enough, there’s a piece called 7:11 by Adam Neely which makes use of this polyrhythm throughout its entirety

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

@@TastyMcTasty Exactly.,, if you have it and you are creative… it just another rhythmic possibility.

[@michaelayers4860]

Uh huh… that’s useful in real life 😏

[@bobczech7774]

Have you tried 7:8?

[@CarneGranada]

He could be bullshitting and I would have no idea

[@stanman2502]

Awesome but where is the practical application?

[@mintgumornot]

Meshuggah

[@gabten6285]

@@mintgumornot Do you think they invented polyrythms ? Listen to Antonio Sanchez, Mike Mangini, Virgil Donati... They play polyrythms much more complex, and they can improvise on the drum kit.

[@kettlemagic]

My question exactly

[@vassilisbakalas3423]

Its not tough, its a pattern. Now, remembering the patern is another thing,

[@harryballsacky]

AND THEY SAID YOU COULDN'T COUNT

[@collin_dempsey]

i don't know what this is showing, but it made my brain hurt 👍

[@coreessentials7584]

I was definitely mire confused than i thought id be

[@WoahHoldOnBuddyOldPal]

Basically showing a 7:11 rhythm, where he starts with seven, progresses to eleven, makes eleven the count, and goes back to 7 count.

[@Brantendo64]

Right hand playing 11 beats per beep, the left hand is playing 7. When playing simultaneously, you get a 7:11 polyrhythmic beat.

[@acornslefteyebrow]

Now do 9:11 💀

[@vosoryan]

Only George W Bush can do that one

[@ayezz2811]

Ain’t no way

[@baherkamalmusic]

How?

[@krunkerdobecool]

how about 9:11 polyrhythm?

[@ricardocivil515]

I see what you did there

[@chimmichanga1221]

That’s actually insane

[@K.J.734]

Whoops, I think I tried too hard. I finally got it but my nose is bleeding...is that normal? 🤟😁🥁

[@Torbenby_]

Bro got that Vsauce stare at the end

[@13iDu57]

Crazy!

[@SilverWolf340]

For non-musicians watching, don’t worry! This is far more difficult that it looks!

[@wtwrush]

Okay this is a level up. You’ve been making videos like this for a while but this is… well done

[@Drumsticks123]

Awesome Jay!

[@christineevelyn]

This is super impressive! 😮

[@theraditz]

This is pretty impressive, and sounds so good!! 😲

[@maximesavard-beaudoin560]
