I’ll tell you one thing: We’re not going to learn a 5 on 4 on 3 on 2 polyrhythm today - or a 12 on 11 or 99 on 100. Nobody wants to hear that stuff. Instead, I’m teaching you one that sounds really cool and that is extremely useful and that I use ALL THE TIME to create interesting tom grooves. YOU CAN DO THIS too.
The 4 over 3 polyrhythm is probably the most common and most musical polyrhythm to show up in standard 4/4 time. (I’d be willing to be that a 3 over 2 is most common in 6/8 time - but that’s a topic for another video.) This rhythm is totally worth learning and mastering since you can use it all the time. I teach you how to play it by literally learning the rhythm - or by saying a mnemonic that helps you remember the relationship. I then demonstrate some grooves containing the rhythm for your listening pleasure, and you can grab the notation PDF if you want to learn these too.
We also reference the “Bo Diddley” rhythm from Bo Diddley’s 1955 hit, because this rhythm is very close to a 4:3. So is Jeff Porcaro’s groove in “Rosanna.” The connections and references are endless, so have fun digging into this super practical, useful lesson. Enjoy!
Watch the legendary Jeff Porcaro break down his “Rosanna Shuffle” and reference “Bo Diddley” in the process!

If you’re into music notation, I found that counting in 12/8 helped me a lot - you can place the bass every 4 beats, and the toms every 3 beats.
12/8 isn’t intuitive, but it’s the same as 3/4 with each beat into sixteenths, or 4/4 with each beat into triplets if you want to get the feel
I find it’s a lot easier for me to count 12/8 as 4/4 triplets. Also what makes it easier for me is saying pass the butter while playing a 3/2 polyrhythm, and pass the goddamn butter when playing a 4/3 polyrhythm. That way you can play and infinitely long polyrhythm by saying pass the and then repeating goddamn butter over and over again.
Caught the "Rosanna" groove in there. Nice.
Love this, thank you… Love how you make it so easy to follow along with the counts
Stephen , bro, as a very bad amateur drummer I have to thank you for all the insight you drop every week. I dont even know to ask the questions you answer. You've been very helpful
Thank you, Stephen! You are a PHENOMENAL drum teacher. Learning so much from you.
Really good lesson this has helped me to appreciate the polyrhythm
Greatly appreciate your show
AWESOME FREAKIN LESSOR MAN!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Your videos are so helpful bro.. I'm still in progress of rudiments.. Love from Nagaland India
Another fab song that highlights this rhythm is ‘the story of Bo Diddly by The Animals released back in the 60’s one of my favourite patterns. Thanks for sharing this lesson 🙏
I Love that video ! Because more than technique or advise, it gives us something new we can play / train !
A very good example of that rhythm is in the title Dimestore Diamond” by Gossip (drum and bass)
Would be very useful for a next video if you could show step by step how you do what you do at :
- 2:30-2:40
- 2:40-2:50
And 5:01-5:23
Each of these could be worth their own video or video section !
Thanks
Great lesson Stephen. I think I picked up a bossanova in one of your grooves.
Nice snare sound man!!!
Thanks can't wait till put the sticks and kicks 2 this.
this will help me a lot thank you beginner here...
Nice snare sound
Stephen, I like your lessons more than Orlando Drummer ХD Please, do more!
Sounded like evenflow for a second...awesome
Hey Stephen! Great stuff! +1 subscriber here brother
Could you please tell me what is that beat you're playing at the very beginning of the video? (The one you're telling we're not going to learn today :) I really liked it and want to find more about it.
Much respect from Russia
yes, i can do this. but i have a hard time remembering the pattern - those mneumonics definitely help!
Ok this video perfectly proves google/UA-cam is overhearing us through our phones.
I was messing around on my drums, and found a rhythm which sounded interestingly (had to tweek it here and there until it fit into a real rhythm)
Now I open UA-cam 20 minutes later and get this video as suggestions, which is exactly what I had "created" before -.-
Anyways good job explaining to me what I was doing, so next time I am on the drums I can continue developing this skill.
I like playing it between the closed hats and the bass drum with the snare on 2 and 4 and just reverse the source (3 on bass 4 on hats) every 4 bars. This is super accessible and drummers who don't understand polyrhythms think your a genius...lol. Right after this I went after that thing Danny Carey does at about the 6:35 mark in Eulogy, (y'know cuz I figured I was a polyrhythmic God now) and got totally spanked! Still to this day I can't play that beat...😆🥁
i like playing it as the accents in triplets over the toms. hats on 2 and 4, normal kick pattern.
What drum set do you have, I think it’s a Gretsch but I’m not sure
Like the vegatables count 😁
I am sure I have downloaded this how to listen and write cheats sheets. -- I don't think this is the polyrhythm notation chart you say is available??
Not sure what kind of churches you go to although they must be pretty cool because I have never heard any other instruments other than the organ and rarely a piano within the sanctuary
I learned "Pass the stinking butter" for this polyrhythm. Polyrhythms are fun.
You can play it backwards as well...kick playing the 4 notes and hand playing the 3 notes
I have been playing this in church so long and didnt know what it was lol
the bo diddley beat is the Clave
One of my favorites is "Change Part 2" by Karnivool that uses this 3:4 polyrhythm between the hihat and kick.

That band got me hooked on polythythms (even inspired me to start working on a polyrhythmic metronome app) because I loved the rhythms their drummer (Steve Judd) plays.
And for what it's worth, *_I_* want to hear that 2:3:4:5 polyrhythm at the beginning. 😂😂
The 3:2 is preeetty darn common too
Watched
Dude tune your toms , But a great video thanks great job
✌️
The phrases XD XD XD
Polyrythems are so difficult I apparently used to do one of those and didn't realize it's a poly now I can't seem to do it that I know it's a poly
As a more complex exercise I'm switching between hands after 4 bars.
Pass the Goddamn Butter!
Do you watch adam neely? Haha
That first groove kinda sounded like iko iko
BoDidle -. The Mask movie
Move Along! LOL
It may be helpful to note that at 2:30 this isn't a 4:3 polyrhythm as described immediately before, but is rather five dotted eights in a row followed by a sixteenth note rest. (Um, maybe I explained that badly. I meant: against the four-on-the-floor kick, Stephen is playing notes worth 3-3-3-3-4 sixteenths notes, in series. It totals out to 16 sixteenth notes, i.e. the full four beats.) This isn't the same as a 4:3 polyrhythm. If you find this unimportant, hey cool, keep groovin'! I'm only mentioning it because this would have caused me a lot of confusion when I was first learning this stuff.
to be honest i think that it's really bad that this guy has all this followers. I think that he wants to be a youtuber more than he wants to be a good musician, and it shows. He gives bad advice, clearly has almost no technique and we never see him play not one song or fill. I really think that he is going to screw up a lot of new drummers.
@@FernandoCuadro Really???
@@SubhashKumar-gv7ch if you disagree you can explain why. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful. It's just that I really think that he gives bad advice.
@@FernandoCuadro I am not opposing you. I am just asking that is he a bad guy who is giving wrong advice. I just asked cause I am a Newbie.
Days of alisha
Adam Neely did an excellent video on 4:3 polyrhythms -- ua-cam.com/video/CtZ74JdxCt0/v-deo.html -- and now I can't do 4:3 without hearing Britney Spears.
eat the brown potato
Word of caution, don't eat the green potato, might be rotten 😉
Green potatoes have bene left in sunlight, the green is poisonous. solanine. It's part of the nightshade family, along with Tomatoes, and Eggplant, which all have Solanine in them, and you should not eat too much of them Raw.
I can't wait to get a gf & asks if she is ok with me playing poly!!😂🔥💥
share more of your faith dont be ashamed
Friend- add a f** tab lol
_Potato, tomahto_
The second I clicked on this vid I knew you were gonna play "pass the god damn butter". For the millionth time, this is NOT a polyrhythm. It's a 3/4 groove with triplet accents. The reason people say this is an "easy polyrhythm" is just that, because it's *not* a polyrhythm. The meter doesn't go by the accents, it goes by the hard count. The hard count to this drum beat is in 3. (1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, etc.). My students kill me with this beat /sigh
