Not every rhythm has a widely recognised name, but for those that do it will be because that rhythm has a particular cultural significance. So today we are going to look at 18 of these "named" rhythms so you can be familar with how they sound and where they come from.
The outro music to this video is my track "Clap" which you can hear in full on Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0wKKJ...

"Pass the god damned butter" is a phrase that's going to be stuck in my head for a while.
It’s hard to beat
😂
I learned “pass the chocolate pudding” that’s gonna be hard to explain to your guitar teacher
I watched that part three times and still haven't stopped laughing. I never thought I'd hear that phrase used so seriously.
I learned it as Pass The Peanut Butter
The musical joke of an incomplete Shave And A Haircut rhythm was used in the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In it the judge (Christopher Lloyd) finds Roger by playing the first bar. Roger can’t resist and comes out of hiding to sing, “Two bits!”
Hey i didnt catch that way back when, thanks. I always thought in LA Story (Steve Martin, Sarah J. Parker). He knocking at her door for dinner date, she has to close the door to complete the "Two Bits" and the go to dinner. Wish i had David as a music teacher 35 yrs ago. Great content & comments.
Shave And A Haircut is also indispensable in circus music. And I think another incomplete rendition was part of that Big Bang Theory episode in which Amy tries to teach Sheldon a lesson by leaving lots of things unfinished.
Also the original source of the phrase very likely comes from the old American "Barbershop Quartets" who, unsurprisingly, sang outside barbershops as advertising for the shop and entertainment for the customers.
Definitely the best way to catch a toon.
Bruce Lee too used it in one of his films
Please do more videos on rhythm, specifically for piano playing
that's the beauty of rhythms, they don't really care what is the sound source, pure elegance
David Bennet just consistently churning out some absolute gems
The "football clap" is used in the opening handclaps of John Fogerty's "Centerfield" (a song about playing baseball). It's also used in the Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night." It's really common as a stadium organ riff in the US (typically baseball and hockey teams will have an organist playing live music during breaks to pump the crowd up).
Let's not forget Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio by the Ramones
My after school club when I was 10 in 70s Israel used the football clap. The last two beats, we'd shout out the name of the club, which was two syllables.
Same here in Canada at hockey games. When the organist played it the fans would shout "Let's Go!" followed by clapping "clap clap clap clap clap clap clap" then back to shouting "Let's Go"!. Or at least in in 1980's/90's😂 (it's been awhile).
Fans of the Viennese soccer club Rapid use the football clap, at the end shouting of course "Rapid!" (not pronounced the English way)
Maybe someone should do a video of organ riffs played at stadiums?
Football clap in French : " qui c'est - les plus forts - évidemment - c'est nous " Shouted in rythm by supporters in any sport / game, clapping hands on the two last
C’est les bleus ~
Another well-known example for the Bo Diddley beat is "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow (1982).
Originally a 60s song
Re-record, not fade fade away.
I am practically a fossil.
@@althealligator1467 Which is 10 times better than the 80s one
Bob Seeger did a great version called “Bo Diddley” on his Live Bullets album. Worth a listen!
Thank you!! Oh what torture I couldn’t think of the name!
I know the Football Clap as the signal for everyone to be quiet in school here in the U.S. It didn't always work ... but that's what I know it to be used for
Huh, here in Brazil it's the shave and a haircut rhythm
can attest for this, not sure which state youre from but in NY its also the "get the kids attention" thing the teachers use
@@lapsiluco same in Canada
You’re right! I knew it sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it. In elementary school teachers would clap the first part when they wanted our attention and the students were supposed to finish it by clapping the “England” part.
The way I know it as has the same first bar, but a different second bar
"one two three, eyes on me"
"One two, eyes on you"
I once heard two seagulls crying(? is that the word for what seagulls do?) in a 4:3 polyrhythm. That was a fun day.
Jeff Porcaro’s “Rosanna” groove is both a 12/8 shuffle AND the Bo Diddley beat, put together.
As a bassist and a fan of Iron Maiden, the first rhythm that comes to mind is "the gallop", a simple eighth note paired with two sixteenth notes
That's also the riff to Heart's "Barracuda".
Okay. I just had to pause this to comment. I am only 1/3 of the way through and have learned more about rhythm patterns in the last 6+ minutes than in 50+ years of living. This is exactly the hole I've been looking to fill in my knowledge. Thank you for making this video!
Not surprising. Rhythm is one part (if not THE part) of music that is often overlooked.
In Australia we had a heap of ads for AAPT Smart Chat on TV (phone company), they used the Football Clap rhythm to make the jingle "A A AAP AAPT SMART CHAT"
Those ads were themed around tennis, too
@@Omegavision79 "We are yellow, we are blue. We are Swedish, who are you?"
Came here to say this lol
The last one is crazy because it shows that there are not only unresolved chords but also but also rythms. So cool
Agreed!!
the "football clap" appears in American football, too, and other American sports. the last two beats are usually, "Let's go!"
The way I'm most familiar with that is: first 5 claps stay intact, then (and this is almost always F-D-F-D!) a 4-syllable phrase or "let's go [2-syllable phrase]" on straight quarters.
I can't believe that I can't find anyone mentioning Mickey by Toni Basil. "Oh, Mickey, you're so fine. You're so fine, you blow my mind. Hey Mickey!"
Let’s go team name! *drum, drum, drum drum drum*
@@beat_avenger The way I remember it, those two phrases are swapped!
As soon as I heard the Bo Diddley beat Faith popped into my head.
Family Madrigal/Bluey theme for me!
I went straight to "Hand Jive".
"Do You Remember Rock'N'Roll Radio?" by the Ramones also uses the football clap. Great video David!
Inspired by the Bay City Rollers "S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night"
In New Zealand (and possibly Australia) the football clap was used to advertise Milo, a malted drink powder and the 'two bits" part was said Mi-Lo
ah yes i forgot that one.
you mean the "football" part?
two bits is from the other one.
@oliverdiamond6594 yeah that's the one.
Same here in Nigeria!
Gonna crack out a polyrhythm when I’m asking for the butter
Go for another video on rhythms! This is amazing and very useful!
Glad you like it 😊
You sound like Mumbo Jumbo
True
Woah, you’re right!
Mixed with half asleep Chris
@@stevecarter8810 yea
Mumbo Jumbo has appeared in one of David's videos! He was analysing the music from the Minecraft soundtrack
Thank you so much for outlining all of these rhythms from their origins, it gives so much more depth to everything that has been built from them, so cool
😀😀
In Finland the football clap is used in similar way at least in ice hockey where in the end we yell the name of the team.
And in the song "Poika saunoo" :D
As a kid in rural Canada, when we went to the rink to watch hockey, we’d hang over the boards and bang the “football clap”.
fabulous topic... thank you as always!
This is such an amazing video. You never stop delivering.
David, your channel is such a wealth of knowledge. Your should be proud of what you've created, love your vids dude
Excellent idea and execution. Your past couple of videos (inc the KG&LW) have been fabulous!
I don't know why, but 16:22 had me laughing out loud. The rhythm seems so comical and the text on top of it, said in such a serious manner... but maybe the rhythm has been used in humorous situations a lot, so I instinctively associate it with something being funny?
same, it's so funny. He even sounds like he almost laughed right after.
This is absolute gold! Thank you so so so much David, your channel is one of THE BEST out there!❤❤❤
Thank you!!
@ 16:47
There was a Swedish pop show in the sixties called Drop In.
They used Let’s Go as their intro/outro music.
There is a live 12 minute video of The Beatles playing at Drop In,
30th October 1963, on YT.
They’re even participating with hand claps in the “Drop In” outro.
So that’s my reference🎶
The "shave and a haircut two bits" is SOOOOOOO popular in Argentina but not in music, but with knocking on doors, or with honking to a passing car or a friend, or ringing a doorbell, things like these.
yup, here in Brazil it's also pretty common, but with the added "PAM PARARAM PAM, PAM PAM" in a classroom to make everybody shut up
In parts of Mexico, "shave and a haircut," tapped out on a motor vehicle horn, is used to impute ..... um, maternal canine ancestry to another driver in close proximity to your car. Use it judiciously, if at all.
Thanks David.....May never be able to Thank you enough for what you do for us!
The pure joy of having you explain something to me in that precise yet easy to follow kind of way you have, then recognizing for myself what you're talking about through the examples of songs you give... I can't begin to describe it. Glad I found your channel, I really appreciate your content.
Oh and the football clap is known as THE football clap in Germany as well.
Simply, an amazing video. Thanks!!!
This was such a great video, David. Thank you very much!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent teaching. Very informative. Thank you, David.
Bossa Nova (or some variation of it) can be heard in 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' by Bauhaus. Which, according to their bassist, was the one of the few rhythms that the drummer knew at that time
Here in the U.S. many still use the Football Clap at sporting events.
Usually saying "lets go."
I.e. quoting the Routers directly!
Whenever Dude Perfect uses this, they (more often than not) turn the last two beats into "dead space" ("usually" because for Garrett bar 2 is his nickname, "pur-ple ho-ser," but for everyone else it's "let's go" and then 2 beats dead space) That's more like how I remember it (more like Garrett's variation, with bar 2 *normally* played on F-D-F-D!)
Really beautiful lesson, thank you very much for taking your time and making this amazing and helpful lesson.
Brilliant tutorial. Well thought out, well explained with great examples
World, folk, classical, jazz and pop all referenced. Love it.
I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 76 years old.
Your video is EXCELLENT, both in content and approach and careful exemplification. Maybe it doesn't seem that way to those who haven't yet looked into the matter; but for me, who has toiled for years, alone, about the rhythmic particularities, so poorly addressed in the texts
"conventional", trying to understand how such peculiarities can appearing on so many and diverse "musical fronts", it makes me want to cry for being born so before that crazy time, but with such objective learning opportunities, like in your video.
Thanks.
Fred Pereira
Yet again, just the sort of thing I was looking for. Thank you.
Gold. Thank you!
Dude... you are amazing! Thank you!
Thankyou. I struggle with timing issues in music and this has been really informative .
In the Netherlands a variation of the football clap is infamously used as a provocative chant, where it is sung as "broek uit - op je hoofd" which means "take off your pants and put them on your head"
The "Shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm in Rhythm Heaven, in the song for the minigame Sick Beats. It's played as kind of a melodic climax of sorts, leading up to the next section of the track. When I heard it, playing through that minigame for the first time, I immediately recognized it.
There are also minigames there that are called Bossa Nova and Polyrhythm, for what that's worth.
Lovely! Explains alot.
I have been trying to write out a such rhythm, yet didn't know this.
Thank you. 🧡
Bravo! Informative and great fun! Thank you from Texas.
Well done video. I think my brain melted very early on, but the san clave music examples served as a wonderful example of music I'd like to explore more of. And bossa nova being another I need to listen to more of. Wonderfully done video!
that "shuffle supercut" made me chuckle. I never knew what was going to come next but it flowed so well
great rhythm tutorial David, thanx mate
Stirring my frequent cups of tea always ends with “A Shave and A Haircut” inside the cup and the “Two Bits” by tapping something with the spoon outside the cup.
Great compilation of rhythms, more videos like this please.
This overview of rhythms and styles with examples of each was very useful to get some ideas to expand horizons. Thanks for that. I did half expect for Meshuggah to show up somewhere near the end though. Maybe next time, in the advanced edition.
Thank you. A very informative and useful video.
16:25 I love how you can hear him nearly laugh before holding it in. XD
Excellent. Thank you.
Thanks !really like this
Excellent video and explanations. Once again. Thanks
Thanks 😊
Great video for the student! Thanks so much.
Great video! I’m here for more rhythm theory! Why should chords get all the love?! 😁
Good stuff! Volume 2 please!
Amazingly explained. Thank you very much!
Thanks 😊
With the football clap, for me it’s just instinctual to complete the rhythm when someone does the first part XD
Thank u so much for giving several notes and countings. Even I'm a western teacher from India, chennai 🙏🙏🙏
OMG I'm in rhythm heaven!! 🥁 (Great video, David 👌)
Great topic, superbly executed.
The best explanation with examples thank you so much sir very very useful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I find these videos very useful and entertaining. Not only do I enjoy learning new things and memorizing data, but I can also easily apply this knowledge to my own music compositions. Thank you, David.
P.S. Here in Czechia we also recognize the Football clap purely as a sport thing :D
Best video on Rhythm and music Theory! Nice!!
Very nicely done as usual, and there were some new ones for me, thanks. Right now, I'm working on the polyrhythm 11 against 13. But this is a rhythm that no one needs to know, and perhaps should avoid. :)
cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott
Brilliant! Now I have to learn and remember all those names.
There's an anarchist chant on the football clap, "Li-Li- Liberta, anarchia totale"
I’m assuming there’s an extra note at the end for the “e” in “totale”?
@@th.nd.r Its more like to - tal
@@th.nd.r Spanish and Italian don't really use feet (iambic etc) - you can just ignore non-accented syllables when you count out the rhythm or sing (you usually just talk about how many accented syllables there are in a line of poetry or a song, and ignore all the unaccented syllables.) So you can happily ignore the final, unaccented, 'e' in totale when counting the rhythm. To make the chant work, you have to put more stress on the 'to' in totale than you would in regular speech, and then minimize the e; but it totally works.
@@otsoko66 that’s brilliant to know, thank you! I’ve always wondered where so many of the syllables go in Spanish-language music lol
Great video!!!!!! You're the best pedagog!!!!
13:25 is objectively the best part of this video. no bias trust me :)
Thank you
THIS IS A SUPER ULTRA HELPFUL VIDEO! GREAT JOB SIR! You deserve more subs!
Thank you!!!
I always liked Tresillo in the bass... e.g. Madonna's Take a Bow, but there are tons of examples, and anytime I hear it, I like it. The next best thing for 3 steps besides the Waltz itself.
A lot of interesting rhythms, thanks for the video!
Excellent explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
This is one of the most elucidating videos Ive ever seen ❤
Excellent!
Amazing. I finally understand how to read tuple notation. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Now ... check out "The Black Page" by Frank Zappa. 8-)
Just great! I was trying to identify the pattern tresillo used in many latin songs and even in the 'funk' here in Brazil, but never knew what was this from. So nice!
This is amazing lesson 👍🏻
Thank you 😊
Yo David. Incredible video as always.
I wonder if when discussing rhythms and jumping to different examples, it might be clearer to start every example with a quick clean 4/3 count. To set the tempo so the listener can really hear how the rhythms presented push and pull against the traditional pulse.
Great video, as always! But, along with Bossanova, Brazil is also known for the legendary Samba rhythm!
I was wondering which is more popular
Awesome video! I'd love to see you continue branching out into rhythm now that you've got a video for basically every chord progression 😂
SUPER HELPFUL. came here to wrap my head around clave rhythms and this did not disappoint!
Glad it helped!
I found this very interesting specially from a songwriting point af view as the Rhythm can be the flavour of the song your trying to write, rhythm can be the inspiration sometimes needed, many thanks
bo diddley naming a song after himself is pretty goated
I love this video so much.
Great!
Excellent video on rhythm. Thanks
Thank you!
Yes, the football clap is also used in American sports. But I'm a little disappointed you didn't include the "A Noose, A Tree, Hang the Referee" rhythm.
4:02 FINALLY we can talk about this song! I always thought of the intro and bridge having a 3+3+2 8/8 rhythm.
Very useful! Thanks!
Thanks 😊
Fantastic. Saving this as a reference for learning and practice. It's amazing that so much music is based on just a small collection of basic rhythm patterns, but they do each have a unique character and lend themselves to pushing and pulling and stretching. I wonder if there is a name for the rhythm behind Queen's iconic "We Will Rock You"? Thanks!
