- Here's how to play polyrhythms perfectly in time. This trick works on common polyrhythms like 3 against 2 and 4 against 3, but also any other figure. 11 against 4? Why not. (I'm looking at you, Chopin.)

Polyrhythms give this off-kilter, spiraling sensation that's pretty well unparalleled in the world of standard rhythms. You might imagine learning poly-rhythms is essential for pianists, drummers or anyone who plays an instrument and sings (you'd be right) but it's also important for any modern musician, even those who play totally monophonic instruments. Why? Often enough, the music you're playing will call on you to create a poly rhythm with the prevailing groove. Feeling this properly is crucial for a flawless execution.
Plus performing a polyrhythm is a way to practice hearing, internalizing and expressing two (or more) concurrent non-derivative musical ideas: a core musical skill!
Polyrhythms were like magic to me before, but relating them to fractions and the lowest common denominator suddenly makes them make so much more sense. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks Martin, that makes me very happy to hear :)
Yea lol it makes much more sense than using decimals...
This is by far one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam for explaining polyrhythms. Well done, Sir.
Christopher Ammons...Grammar Nazi here. You can’t have “By far one of the best”. It’s either “By far the best”. Or “One of the best”.

Better than Adam Neely for my part
I can agree with that!
Yes
Tribal African drummers don't subdivide their numerous 2-3-5-7-11-13 etc polyrhythms. Instead they "feel" the half and triplet beats and approximate the symmetry of the polyrhythm. Even if single drummer makes a mistake, he can correct it by feeling the half point in-between an odd signature.
👆👽 THAT. When you feel it..that's when you're one with it and don't need to count a thing....
As a drummer, I literally just think of my bass drum as a separate instrument, as opposed to a drum, and that mentality makes it a lot easier for me for whatever reason.
very nice tutorial. You managed to explain polyrhythms in the first minute of the video and the examples were super helpful.
I'm a guitarist and this helped me to create the craziest metal song last night so amazing great job on explaining this it worked so unbelievably well
I’d love to hear it!
Me too!
would you care to share that with us?
FINALLY! A video on polyrhythms I can actually understand. Thank you so much!
Incredible video! I’ve never been able to drum a polyrhythm! Had it locked in by the end of this video and it’s transferred to all of them! Thank you!!!!
Very nicely done. Simplified with perfection. Thank you
Thank you so much for all of your videos on rhythm. I've forwarded links to a couple of my piano pupils who have been struggling with rhythm. You have a real talent for explaining things clearly.
Best polyrhythm video out there. Great work on the visual aids!

Brilliant breakdown. Trying to play this had me laughing aloud, a sort of happy frustration. LOVE it!
Loved it man, really entertaining and efficent, sober, efficent, exciting still !
The way you showed using the lowest common multiple along with the grid was the perfect explanation for me in understanding this. THANK YOU!
This is BRILLIANT. I understood it theoretically but couldn’t make the jump to both hands! I hadn’t ever thought of breaking it down into the common denominator!
Brilliant upload mate. I love polyrhythms.
Great explanation and video
This has to be the most practical hands on tutorial ever made on UA-cam. Thank you very much!

This is a great video. I use polyrhythms often playing guitar. Some things just feel natural that way but I've had a hard time trying to translate the feeling over as I'm learning to play drums. This gives a lot of simple clarification
Your tutorials rock! Thank you so much
Wow, that's helpful. Thank you so much!
Very good vid! I've been working with polyrhythms, and this is very helpful.

Best video on polyrhytm ever! Thank you man!;-)
Thanks as always, Saher! :D
awesome lesson man ! love it
Great breakdown, excellent examples. Now to write some polyrhythms!
thanks a lot for this video! actually for me play a simple polyrythmic groove with a 4/4 music is like a perfect meditation, my brain has to switch off in a way to being able to play haha.
Hi Saher. Thank you so much for this video. It is awesome and so helpful. And thank you so much for other videos including those you posted in 2008 i think - to do with improving and helping one's singing/vocals. You are awesome. Thank you, Chris Melbourne, Australia.
That is absolutely amazing! It's crazy how much this helps; thank you!

What an amazing video. I finally understand!
This was an excellent teaching video.

Thanks!
,':*D
Really helpful video, thank you so much
Really helpful video. Learned a lot comparing other channels
Very helpful. Althoguh admittedly, my brain was switching the "eighth" and "tuplet", so rather than doing a triplet and later septuplet in 2/4, I was basically counting two bars of 3/8 (then later 7/8).
Yeah, that can happen. To keep the underlying meter clearly defined, try to also tap your foot to the quarter note beat and put emphasis on your rhythmic figures there.
Might actually be a 2:3 polyrhythm. Not entirely sure but I'm learnig the bass part and it sounds like it to me.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Really helpful, polyrythms have always confused me.
Love your voice and these videos are incredibly helpful! I am a complete newbie at music theory and learning to play instruments so this stuff is super helpful thank you for sharing!!! Keep it up 👍

THANK YOU!!!
Subdivided polyrhythm is very interesting kept up the good work, Saher!
Oh my god this is so helpful.
I never thought much about 3 on 2 until I heard Philip Glass Opening and found it quite mesmerizing.
Thanks for the info brudda.
A good way that I foundes to find how to correctly divide the beat is to find a comme number in the multiplication tables of the two units we want to opposite. And of course, take the smallest number we can take, so the original beat is divided as little as possible.
Example : 3 against 4 =
Multiplication table of 3 :
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, etc.
Same for 4 : 4, 8, 12, 16, etc.
We see that there's the same number in both : 12. So we have to divide the beat into 12 parts to place and the three and the four beats.
I hope it was useful ! ^o^
This helps the understanding of poly rythums i can apply to scratching 👍
Thanks, I’ll check this out.
dude. thank you
