A lot of musicians tap there left or right foot. You can try doing that. Also if you make it a point to ALWAYS practice "in time" and at the correct tempo. Use a metronome if necessary. Hope that helps Adam
its true about drums/percussion and everything else, i am a drummer but now am starting to learn keyboard and rhythm is everything and the fact i know drums makes learning keyboard easier! awesome stuff man!!
I've been trying to play Lateralus for about 6 month now, and I'm no where near it. Watching this really does help though! thanks alot for sticking a tutorial up for this :D
the chorus for lateralus (over thinking over analyzing) is in 9/8, 8/8, 7/8 repeating until the verse. the drum part after the 2nd chorus is in 5/4 and continues to be until Adams guitar "solo". the bass is in 6/4 for this part like he says.
@82drumhead Yep, with a polyrythm, the different timings line up every measure. A poly meter of.... say... 4/4 and 3/4 will line up on every 12 beats (4 measures of 3/4 or e measures of 4/4)
wow thats harder than i would have thought. I've played guitar for 11 years and piano for 2 months now and I tried to get a hang of this but no improvement yet (in 5 minutes haha). Gonna try again when i wake up.
my friend is getting angry with me because i'm hijacking her piano in order to learn this song. she's in for some bad news tomorrow. thank you so much for this.
right after like the "first part of the song with Justin playing just the bass, then Danny comes in with his hi-hat and thats the part that he's imitating.
Nice turorial, thanks! Deviant1853: Before going to that level I recommend practicing music by Bela Bartok and/or Philip Glass. After that you should make work something like Lateralus way more easily. :)
@NinjaOnWeed Yeah it does. my first instrument was the guitar, and I am starting to learn the keys, but I am translating all the notes, cords and scales from guitar to piano. it's kinda strange.
just match up that little diagram i just wrote out. For LH start by playing DDDDDD DDDDDD DDDDDD for each note above, match it with one of these 123451 234512 345123 make 1=D 2=E 3=F 4=G 5=A to practice once you get the basic down you can start to improvise in right hand
What part is this? at that bass section he's doing quick notes on the D. The whole section is in 4/4. Also, the chorus is in 3/4 and the verses are in 5/4. That's the tabs I got anyways, and everything sounds right.
i know i'm a little late on the initial comment but.....it's the middle section of the song. all he's doing is taking the hi hat part and playing it on his right hand and giving it a melody.
you could try this. the left hand is 6 beats per measure and its played with 4 D's and then 2 beats off. instead of playing DDDDXX to start practicing, just play the note D on all 6 beats in the left hand. DDDDDD DDDDDD. then develop a pattern in the right hand that uses 5 beats and repeat it over and over. try playing DEFEF DEFEF DEFEF over and over. start very very slow then work your way up, then take one of the extra D in the left hand out then take the other. patience my son
I really hope you're joking, he has the entire song on another video (look to the right side of the screen). Also this was a Polyrhythm tutorial on how he translated Danny Carey's insane timing from Drums to a Piano. I'm sure he doesn't have time to just write these songs out and just hand it to all the people demanding stuff from him on UA-cam.
savant doesn't always refer to savant syndrome kiddo. Have a good day buddy. P.S. Lostagain, I finished the 5th season of lost last night. It was really good. Your name just reminded me of it.
Can you really play two seperate time signatures in each hand? I'm not completely sure, but either that section of the song is in 4/4 and he is playing triplets with the left hand and quintuplets with the right, or the time signature is 6/8 and the left hand is eighth notes and the right is quintuplets. This is one of tool's most complex songs and it's not easy to follow, so PLAYING it must be insane.
Oh! I get it now, he isnt playing quintuplets in the right hand, it's just a 5 repeated 8th notes over a 6/8 time signature, accenting the first note of every measure. It looks almost like ragtime.
I still don't understand completely. I deal with 3 against 4, for instance, by counting 12 beats and playing the RH/LH every 4 beats, and the other every 3 beats. When I don't do this, the hands aren't even. Can you explain more?
thanks a lot i've been trying to learn polyrythmns but i think i got it now wow thank you are the two sides in different time signature's? 4 beats a measure that lasts 6 beats is 4:6? vs 5 beats a measure so 5:6? or is it just 10:6 or could you say 5:3? i'm gonna be drumming this everywhere now and i hope to learn this song eventually!
this isn't 5 against 6 in the sense that theres 5 beats against 6 beats. LH DDDDXXDDDDXXDDDDXXDDDDXX RH 123451234512345123451234512345 The timing for left and right hands are the same. i see your name is chopin, this isnt the same as fantasie impromptu, where you play 4 notes in the right hand for every 3 in the right hand. The timing is the same, its just the phrase in the right hand is one note shorter, so it takes 6 rounds of playing the 5 note right hand riff before it matches up again
you demontrated well, but you gotta show us where to start from the rudimentary, just showing us how a polyrhythm is played isn't helpful. Explain all the counting you did, please.
thanks for the correction
I had a really hard time getting polyrhythms with drums, but once you get them, it's hard to forget.
Fantastic stuff, man!
Thank you 🙏 .
Muy generoso de tu parte.

it would actually make my year if u did a tutorial of orestes!! its just so gud on piano!!
the chorus for lateralus (over thinking over analyzing) is in 9/8, 8/8, 7/8 repeating until the verse. the drum part after the 2nd chorus is in 5/4 and continues to be until Adams guitar "solo". the bass is in 6/4 for this part like he says.
good job
pretty cool. Great poly
awsome

Cool!!! You should show a Tutorial onhow to play Vicarious Song ;)
you are my god i worship this XD

i agree
This is so great. Your words at the beginning before you start the exercises are unbelievably inspiring. All I have to say is THANKS!
I just knew you were a drummer xD
just match up that little diagram i just wrote out.
For LH start by playing
DDDDDD DDDDDD DDDDDD
for each note above, match it with one of these
123451 234512 345123
make 1=D 2=E 3=F 4=G 5=A to practice

@82drumhead Sweet playing, though. I'd be interested to see you lay down your 5 beat riff on top of a 6 beat drum track. Keep it up!
i know i'm a little late on the initial comment but.....it's the middle section of the song. all he's doing is taking the hi hat part and playing it on his right hand and giving it a melody.
oh he did

It can be called polymeter or polyrhythm, but polymeter is the more...professional term, I guess you could say.
no actually I started with keys. I picked up drums later which really helped out with every other instrument I play
Oh! I get it now, he isnt playing quintuplets in the right hand, it's just a 5 repeated 8th notes over a 6/8 time signature, accenting the first note of every measure. It looks almost like ragtime.

5/8 over 6/8 man =]!
thanks a lot i've been trying to learn polyrythmns but i think i got it now wow thank you
are the two sides in different time signature's?
4 beats a measure that lasts 6 beats is 4:6?
vs 5 beats a measure so 5:6? or is it just 10:6 or could you say 5:3?
i'm gonna be drumming this everywhere now and i hope to learn this song eventually!
I think your a savant! hahah i tip my hat to you!!!
lol My piano teacher said piano translates to all other instruments :P
what part of lateralus is that polyrythm at?
still cant found the different beteween polymeter and polyrhythm
Very impressive, but it's a polymeter, not a polyrhythm
this isn't 5 against 6 in the sense that theres 5 beats against 6 beats.

I'm pretty sure that is a polyMETER.... not a polyrhythym
SUB "Freaking" Scribed !

lol "professional term", its the american term... both fine tho
I've never seen the show. The name doesn't relate to it.
