Thanks for the concise explanation! Could you also explain ternary 1 vs ternary 2?

Hello, thanks for the suggestion for a future video. In the meantime, those concepts are explained in Mamady's recent books as well.

Could you explain the difference in how these different rhythms are used? And why?

Thank You!!

Is this similar to duple / triple time?

Hi Malik, it would depend on the context in which you are using those terms. It's important not to confuse the number of beats per measure and the number of pulses per beat.
