Kit sounds amazing. None of these are complicated, but I'm assuming this would be gold for a beginner. I don't know how you could dislike this video. It's legit, free education.
I also just play drums with a keyboard and mouse, but this way of starting off simple, using sheet music to assist (for those of us who think visually) is excellent. No distracting words, showy technique or other unnecessary 'dramatics'. This has helped me. Thank you, Jared.
thanks for posting that. i'm not a drummer and sometimes need to work with other times such as 5/4 for a piece i'm working on. this helped me understand what the drummer is actually doing behind the track (which isn't yet written) and now i can space parts around it in my head
I'm not much of a drummer, but I love videos like this. They instruct odd meters much better than non-drummer videos. They really help with writing drum parts to my odd-metered music.
i taught myself to play drums, and when i started learning time signatures, i found it fairly simple. i had always played odd time signatures, i just never knew thats what they were.
Yes this is Rock Beach! I am assuming you have been there? It is an absolutely stunning studio, one of the best we have ever been in. -FreeDrumLessons-
Best part about 5/4 is that Howard Shore, the film composer who did the Lord of the Rings film, actually had the orcs marching in 5/4 as they approached Minas Tirith
Wow this is amazing. it sounds really tough to play, but its really not all that hard. ive been playing drums for over 4 years and have only really played in 3/4 and 4/4. What a treat this is! It makes drumming SO much more interseting!
187 dislikes have no feel or sense of time or rhythm or gratitude... It's an amazing lesson... Am a noob at 53.. getting into Meshuggah / Ron JARZOMBEK type feel of dissonance and polymeters... This lesson is gold 🙏⚡⚡⚡⭐👍👍👍
ta-din-ge-din-dah another way of saying 12345. and much more rhythmically satisfying. Check out konnakol counting - using rythmic sounds - there's lots of variations but its a great way to learning complicated time signatures and feel the groove.
You are a great resource, as I just started writing a song, which, lo and behold, is turning out to be in a 5/4 beat. This information will be a great help in writing the drum line. Thanks!
in any time signature, the tp number is how many count to the measure, and the bottom number is what kind of beat gets 1 count. so 5/8 means 5 counts, each one being an eighth note, and 5/4 is 5 counts, each being a quarter note
When playing odd time signatures, I would also recommend learning the "clave" pattern of the individual song (clave is used loosely here.) An example would be the vamp on the song Take Five. Keep the vamp running in your head and base you’re playing around it. Your playing will stay in time and be musical. In my opinion, it is more interesting than trying to count beats.
This is just the set up used for this shoot. The drummers of FDL like their kits set up very high. These Hi hats are just set up as high as they can go, practically at the top of the hats. The stand is no different. -FreeDrumLessons-
A really easy way to count odd time signatures is to just sub-divide the the measure. like 5/4 can be counted like 1+2+3+1+2+, turning it into a 3/4 measure followed by a 2/4 measure. 6/8 can go to two 3/4 measures and so on. Idk if this is really easier, but is is for me.
It shows what note gets the beat. 4=quarter note 8=eighth note 16=sixteeth note. I love 5/4. It just rolls so well if you do it right... which most people don't. haha.
You are correct my friend. At first he is playing in 5/4 and later in the video he plays in 5/8. But the timing is still the same. it just gives a different feel.
I'll remind you this is the Senior Writer/Editor of Berklee Press for 7 years, as a musician for over 30 years, and with a both bachelor's and master's degrees in composition from New England Conservatory. I reckon he might have the upper hand on us here?
Supernova, how are you breaking them down? I like to do 11/16 in 3-3-3-2 format (Sounds like a 7/8 in swing time) My favorite breakdown of 13/16 is 7-7-7-5 (almost the same ratio) The number 26 is cool too, because add one beat, and you've got the 3 cubed, subtract one beat and you've got 5 squared, so its versatile.
lol. The camera changes are really funny...This kind of thing can be very helpful even for a guitarist or other musician. As a guitarist, learning different time signatures really helps me be more creative when I play. For example, Jack White uses a lot of strange time signatures. Having a really good sense of time also enables a player to sort of "bend" the time, playing behind or ahead of the actual beat which creates different types of tension.
You can also get a 5/4 beat to sound more natural if you play the snare on the sixth 8th note of the bar. That places the snare hit in the middle of the bar, and actually makes for a beat that doesn't sound jumpy or skippy at all.
Maybe im just a pad drummer (like those 4x4 squares on controller) for my productions sake, but this is really helpful even for that. Thank You very much.
Im bassist and I understand very well , actually on rythm I think is easy , you only think on 5 / 4 and counting , but qhen you know about harmony and composition es a little beat more confuse make a song in 5/4 , but not impossible Take Five !!!!
@AreaCode978 A lot of people have a different method. Some people feel very comfortable in other time signatures. Personally, I will often write a drum beat or guitar line and don't even realize until later what time signature it's in. Once I wrote a guitar line and figured out I was playing 5/4, 5/4, 2/4. Other people purposefully write a song in a different meter and then make a big deal about it (like the jazz song Take 5).
1:12 and that's how John Carpenter came up with the idea to take that exact rhythm and put it on the piano/synth to create one of the most iconic movie themes ever... Halloween Main Score
@AreaCode978 The situation depends on some factors. Sometimes people play things that are simply played in a different time, sometimes they want to make a beat/riff in a different time so then the timing comes first. Personally, I play a beat in 4/4 first and then sometime I'll think of an addition to the beat that makes it sound better and different timing. so it goes either way
If you have problems counting up to five (it can easily be), split into alternating 3 and 2 counts, which can add additional movement and slight accents. With this technique you also reach easily other odd counts, such as 11/8's and produce the right feeling (Take Five, btw).
The question was: I understand odd times that are over 4 and 8, like 5/4 and 7/8 and anything else with 4 or a multiple of it on the bottom, but something I don't quite get is time signatures with other numbers on the bottom. Like 5/7?
@KingRundzap I think there's a few people that'd like to see a video of you demonstrating the written score and how to play / count it. I think that way I'm likely to follow what you're saying. all the best.
The guideline for choosing what time signature to write something in should be, "What is most likely to get this played the way I want?" If you write something phrased in 4s in 3/4, it's likely to at least lead to time being wasted while musicians figure it out.
My comment was directed at Dailydent, who's saying that "non-musicals aren't bright enough to get music either" He's teaching beginners musicianship so he should be phrasing it as such.
One of the answers that kindly came in was: Hi Corey, I'll go out on a limb here and risk looking stupid. As Senior Writer/Editor of Berklee Press for 7 years, as a musician for over 30 years, and with a both bachelor's and master's degrees in composition from New England Conservatory, I have never ever seen an odd number in the bottom number of a time signature. Finale, which is essentially the world's most powerful notation program, doesn't support writing them.
@AntiPirateSquad I pointed out earlier that in 5/7, quarter notes then work differently than they do in 5/4. Two quarters, at the start of a bar, would be played on "1" and the "a" of "2". Again, you could write that differently. You can write ANYTHING in ANY time signature.
@KingRundzap no, there's no beef, I'd just like to beleive there was a simple way to explain what you're saying so we can arrive at the point where you realise there's a simpler way to score and count 5/7, or that there's a good chance 5/7 doesn't exist? What's the difference between 5:7 and 5/7 then? perhaps this is where I'm loosing you? sorry if so.
Re differences between, say 3/4 and 6/8: There are some pretty well-entrenched conventions about time signatures with respect to typical accents and phrasing, but those conventions are broken just as often. Really, ANYTHING could be written in ANY time signature--phrases would just line up with bars unusually. Stravinsky did that kind of thing all the time, btw. Look at some of his scores while listening to the pieces.
It means that the rhythm will have an eight note feel, count it 1&2&3&4&5& That's pretty much it...listen to Sting's ten summoner's tales with Vinnie colaiuta playing 5/8 and 7/8 feels on several songs to get the idea...
@AntiPirateSquad 5/7 would be a time signature. 5 "beats" in the measure, and one note of an eighth note septuplet grouping (in 4/4) gets one beat. 5:7 is a notation that we're going to play a quintuplet--a 5 note grouping, in the space where we'd usually play a septuplet (a 7 note grouping). The way to think of it would be a "5 on 7" polyrhythm. It could occur as quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, even over a number of bars, and in any time signature.

it's easier if u counting it like this : 1.2.1.2.3. or 1.2.3.1.2 .
That's what Ralph Humphrey recommends, too. He approaches odd time as combination of "twos" and "threes".
Persian Karaoke .... It IS 12312 and 12123
I instinctually do that. It just works.
ta-din-ge-din-dah another way of saying 12345. and much more rhythmically satisfying. Check out konnakol counting - using rythmic sounds - there's lots of variations but its a great way to learning complicated time signatures and feel the groove.

Outstanding, I love how you explain what you are about to do before you do it, and how you play at moderate speed, keep it up, we are learning a lot
That's really cool how he does this for free for the good of drummers.
Gives me a fuzzy feeling inside lol

@KingRundzap
time signature exists if one can divisively organise rhythmic phrases into odd and even numbers / fractions and subdivisions thereof.
Daney Carey of Tool is amazing for odd timed beats, but it's such hard drumming, GOOD LUCK trying to play it
Excellent explanation.
Beyond this life is a great example of 5/4
the 1st pattern he played is in the song "long distance runaround" by Yes.
they are the 1st group that i ever heard 5/4
i play bass and i've helped drummers with these kinds of time signatures
This is gonna really psych out my band members

5/4 is one of my all time favorites to play
nice Jared. i am curious about the click on your left. is that what i am hearing on the sample and what brand is it?
1:12 and that's how John Carpenter came up with the idea to take that exact rhythm and put it on the piano/synth to create one of the most iconic movie themes ever... Halloween Main Score

Personally, I play a beat in 4/4 first and then sometime I'll think of an addition to the beat that makes it sound better and different timing. so it goes either way
@eatrocksah odd time signature doesnt mean odd as in unusual, it means odd as in not an even amount of beats.
If you have problems counting up to five (it can easily be), split into alternating 3 and 2 counts, which can add additional movement and slight accents. With this technique you also reach easily other odd counts, such as 11/8's and produce the right feeling (Take Five, btw).
+y2ksw1 2s and 3s are great for building all sorts of rythyms even in 4/4

Damn click track... I'd like to sample this stuff. 5/4 loops are hard to come by
Still sampling it, click track and all would be a power move
Great lesson man
Yeah it's definitely for beginners. You should show some double-bass-pedal in 5/4, it sounds awesome....

As a bassist, these beats and rhythms are simple. When you get into percussion bass, you do a lot more complex rhythms.
ill be honest... these videos are a bit dorky. but give him credit. this is a GREAT tutorial.
SHE TURNED MY DAD ON SHE TURNED MY DAD ON DAD ON DAD ONNNN wait that is my dad

His voice: Okay, I'm really excited for this video lesson! We're going to be playing through some 5/4 beats!
His face: T_T
Odd times signatures are probably the most interesting thing I've ever witnessed.
the mix is great
good lesson
Thanks. Needed a beat for this weird acoustic part I wrote. I didn't know how to make a 5/4 beat. lol
Because they play lots of odd timed stuff. And they rock.

This lesson covers six odd-time beats that are played in the 5/4 time signature. Unlike most rock drum beats, that are played in 4/4 with four quarter notes per measure, these beats are played with five quarter notes per measure. Watch the included video for step-by-step training on how to count and play these unique beats.

5/4 and 7/8 are best time signatures, unconditionally

Damn click track... I'd like to sample this stuff. 5/4 loops are hard to come by

I also just play drums with a keyboard and mouse, but this way of starting off simple, using sheet music to assist (for those of us who think visually) is excellent. No distracting words, showy technique or other unnecessary 'dramatics'. This has helped me. Thank you, Jared.

thanks for posting that. i'm not a drummer and sometimes need to work with other times such as 5/4 for a piece i'm working on. this helped me understand what the drummer is actually doing behind the track (which isn't yet written) and now i can space parts around it in my head

You dislike this video
Omg you've come on long way my friend on camera haha you da best
@KingRundzap yes, I am saying the same thing three times dude, but I'm worried you're not hearing me.
I'm going to post 'from' a link from a forum I'm on. I'm hoping this'll shed light on why I don't get how you can possibly arrive at 5/7 or 5:7 ok.
These guys actually are extremely helpful, I mean, free sheet music? Not many people would give you the skin of their shite
@KingRundzap
I've got a degree in Music (Ba Hons) I should be able to get my head round what you're saying, but since score is far easier for me than someone's / anyone's explanation, it'd be really appreciated, I'm sure not just by me but others' who feel they can't get their heads round the fact you just reinvented the law of western music and time signatures after some thousands of years...
