After I retired, I started digging deeper into my love of songwriting and performing. David, though I'm old enough to be your grandfather, your videos have taught me so much, brought be joy, and kept me interested in music when things are tough. Honestly surprised you weren't at a million viewers long ago. Many congratulations, sir.
Congrats on that gold play button!!! I saw your late night (in the US anyway lol) stream celebrating it actually happening and it’s an awesome achievement- well deserved!!
5:19 I just now realized the Habanera rhythm is pretty similar to the Reggaeton rhythm, so it might be common in pop! Speaking of, the first song I think of with the double tresillo is clap your hands by Sean Paul
Congratulations David, upon reaching a million subscribers. Your channel is hands down one of my favorite and most useful channel in UA-cam. I have learned so much from your channel and look forward to years ahead. Kudos to you David.
I don’t know what this rhythm is called, but it goes “1 + (2) + 3 + (4).” It shows up a bunch in film scores. It’s used slowly in Jurassic Park behind the main theme at one point, is used a bit in the Titanic soundtrack, and a ton in the Back to the Future score. Additionally, BTTF also uses a variation of it: “1 + (2) + (3) + (4) +.” These two rhythms are so simple yet cool!
Seriously David, the only reason I felt confident to go out and get the equipment to learn to play is because of you. The Korg on my desk is not £1,500 paperweight but a tool for learning and now a device for expression. Thank YOU for all your (free) help.
3 for dbl. tresillo: (well, I don't know if the third counts) "In The Air Tonight" fill "The Distance" (Cake) riff (maybe) Never Gonna Give You Up (the famous fill is very similar to the one from In The Air Tonight) 9:20 In "Ranking Polyrhythms," after hearing 5:4 Shawn says, quote, "We [Sungazer] do that on... 'Machina.'" Skank: "Just A Girl" (No Doubt- most prominent in the synth combo, I think) Gallop: William Tell Overture finale and it feels like that's what John's playing in the intro to Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da! Here's an 8th rhythm altogether: (large/medium = medium/small = 2); most famous version of this has metronome markings of (1 beat = large) 120-126 bpm, somewhere in there. Here it is: MM SSM M M L | M M M M M M M and repeat indefinitely! Sometimes, depending on how/why you play this rhythm, the goal is (put simply) to Increase the metronome marking, if that gives you a hint about this "how and why."
You are so deserving of all the success you are enjoying right now...as you pointed out, there's so much defunding of educational programs and curricula right now, and that's one of the many reasons why your channel - and more to the point, your VOICE and your ERUDITION - are absolutely VITAL right now. Thank you so very much for teaching all who care to watch & listen, and for all the learning you encourage and enable. I am, like so many others, excited to see where your success takes you...and I look forward to all you may offer in the future. Cheers!
The rhythm from 'what a fool believes" appears in several songs. The clearest examples to me is "you should hear how she talks about you", "steal away", "he's so shy" and "love will keep us together".
Congrats on the well deserved achievement! Something I love about your videos is sharing fantastic examples of these rhythms in popular and notable music, reminding us of fantastic songs that use interesting rhythms. I will never forgive you for not playing Ska.
As a self-admitted prog nerd hearing Closer to the Heart was nice but not too unbelieveable, it's a pretty well known song and a solid example of a double tresillo rhythm. And then you hit me with Day of the Baphomets. Excellent choice, and one I genuinely would never have expected. Congratulations on a million subs, you've earned it!
Congratulations David !!! You earned it. Your content is novel, high quality, interesting and educational. It's obvious you put in a lot of time and research into each of your videos. Among my favourite music video UA-cam channel for sure. I'm always excited each time you post a new video.
What's worth noting about the gallop is that there are TWO gallop rhythms in metal. One where the group of three 16th notes start betweeen the beats (0-000-000-000-00), which is the one that actually sounds like a gallop and is used in Motorbreath (and in your notes). But there's also the reverse gallop where the group starts on a full beat (000-000-000-000), which is the version used in Raining Blood and Heresy (it's a lot more obvious in Raining Blood). So two out of three metal gallop examples actually show incorrect notes.
I’ve been watching your videos for years even though I was absolute rubbish in music theory. You just made it interesting. Since I followed in my Moms footsteps I bought a digital keyboard after my retirement. Merci et félicitation David.
IM IN SCHOOL FOR THIS STUFF AND YOU`RE TEACHING ME WAY MORE THAN THIS INSTRUCTOR I GOT WHO ACTS LIKE WE`RE SUPPOSED TO ALREADY HAVE MASTERED THIS THANK YOU
I have a couple examples. “Have a Nice Day” by Bon Jovi uses the Double Tresillo. And “Subdivisions” by Rush does the Barbara Ann rhythm but in 7/4 time. Btw, Congratulations on the golden play button, David! You deserve it!
Thank you for your content, David. And congratulations on your success. They really are a treat, and I'm touched to see how many people you've reached with your educational videos. You are a treasure.
Congratulations on the gold play button, David. Yes, your videos have helped me see music differently when I'm thinking about chords to add to a melody for a church service; for instance, thanks to you I better understand 7 chords and why I sometimes chose them for a song even though I tended not to like them (I choose them a little more now). Also, from you I now know the name of a trick with which I may end a song: the Picardy third.
So excited to see you reach 1M! Since finding your channel I've learned so much and I've gone from terrified to play my first gig, to a confident professional musician booked every weekend over the past 3 years... the same amount of time I've been watching your videos. Coincidence? I think not! Thanks for everything 💜
Take 5 is a song in 5/4! It’s funny coz later in ur video you actually mention about Dave Brubeck and show the album with the song on the front cover . But what was nice for me was that I never knew who wrote this because I just played it learning sax when I was younger without actually being that interested. Now however I’m much more interested in music and Jazz and now I’m gonna hit this time out album up and listen to this religiously . Thanks for connecting the dots for me !! Also congratulations for channel . Honestly your are really informative, between you and @gracieterzian your both helping me remember a lost subliminal information dump I received as music lessons as a child.
Congratulations on your Gold UA-cam button. Well deserved. You are one of the best and most entertaining educator on this platform. You make music fun.
As for the 5:4 polyrhythm, the first half of Horse Lords' "Fanfare for Effective Freedom" is based on it. And it's built up to with a sequence of 1:2, then 2:3, then 3:4 to finally fall into a 4:5 which gets flipped into 5:4 for the main part of the song. Horse Lords love their polyrhythmic play, I'd recommend their music ten times over :)
A lot of Cumbias, especially in Mexico, have a Gallup rhythm to them. It’s also there in many Quebecois (French Canadian) traditional & folk, and Celtic folk/traditional as well.
Thank you, David, for always bringing theory down to earth. I'll probably never remember the double tresillo as a concept, but hearing it in all those well-known songs (like AC/DC) makes it accessible in a second.
It is awesome to see you got your gold button! Thank you, David, thank you for sharing your knowledge of music. In the few years that I’ve been following your videos not only have you educated me but my son as well.
The tresillo and double tresillo can be used to spice up just about any tune that's in 4-4. I tend to click my teeth in the form of a 4-4, tresillo, and double tresillo while humming any 4-4 tune all the time. One cool example is how you can hum the Wellermen song's titular lyrical line while clicking your teeth(basically biting to produce sound) and with some practice, you can do it in tresillo and double tresillo and it sounds awesome, especially when you can seamlessly transition from one to the other.
idk if this strictly counts as a habanera, but the kick and snare pattern in Be My Baby by the Ronettes and many other ballads of that era is the same thing slowed down a bit. in that form it is indeed common in western pop music. great video.
@@zzzaphod8507 it'll be 30 years old this september. first appeared in 1994 on windows NT 3.5, released on the 21st night of september, love was changing the minds of pretenders.
Habanera rhythm is constantly found in reggaeton. In fact, the 4 is usually made by the kick where the snare is making the tresillo which forms the habanera.
The two rhythms out of these seven that really intrigue me are the Double Tresillo and Barbara Ann. Double Tresillo (1--+--4--+--3-4-) has oodles of examples beyond what's mentioned in this video: "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin "Dance With Me" by Orleans ("Night is falling...") "Reminiscing" by Little River Band (opening tune) "I Melt With You" by Modern English (guitar tune during verse) "Keeping the Faith" by Billy Joel "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr (B minor tune before "I ain't afraid of no ghost") "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer (Ab bridge) "Faith" by George Michael "Everybody Everybody" by Black Box (organ/trumpet tune after every "Ow!") "I Got a Name" by Jim Croce (after "Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by" comes a tune...) "Interstate Love Song" by Stone Temple Pilots (...which this song clearly borrows) As for Barbara Ann (1-2-3--+-+-+3---), two songs preceded that titular namesake: "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & The Comets (1955), and "Tequila" by the Champs (1958) songs that followed Barbara Ann, in addition to those mentioned in the video: "I Feel Free" by Cream "C'mon Marianne" by the Four Seasons "Break on Through" by the Doors "Tra La La Song" by the Banana Splits "Down on the Corner" by Credence Clearwater Revival "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple (very distinctive opening tune) "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley ('Woy-yoy-yo") "Rock This Town" by the Stray Cats "Part-Time Lover" by Stevie Wonder "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" by They Might be Giants "Lovefool" by the Cardigans
I love the variety of music and genres truly shows the dedication, cause even if you listen to lots of music on a daily basis remembering where something comes up isnt easy
A great example of the 5:4 polyrhythm is in the chorus of Fandango by Pain of Salvation! The song is in 5/4 meter throughout, but in that section, the drums maintain the 5/4, while the guitars and vocals are going in 4.
Dear David, thank you for your inspiration and your diligent work to edify us. It must take hours and hours to do your research to provide us with effective examples. Congrats on your well earned award--which truly reflects your heart of gold for music education!
Samba. Which i have been studying has chord changes on the half beat before 1. A wonderful groove that is distinct. And more than this obviously and very complex as a form of Brazilian street music.
Here are some other rythmes that exist. One of them is 11/8. It's a dance from the Balkan's. You count as groupings in 2 2 3 2 2. The 3 is accented. Flamenco has three rythmes which can be done in 6/8 (dotted quarter note as a beat), 4/4, or 3/4. In Flamenco, in 6/8, you can count 1 2 3 4 5 6, but 1 and 4 are accented. In 3/4, there's eighth note, quarter note, quarter note, and tnem eighth note. Repeat. And in 4/4, it sounds like Skank. So exclude that one. Mind you, Flamenco is fast, so pump the tempo up to 160, less, or more. Another ryrhme is Bolero. (Both Latin Music and from Maurice Ravel's Bolero.) In Latin Bolero, you have an eighth note, triplet sixteenths, and six eighth notes. Repeat. Bolero is usually slow, so it's usually at 80-120 BPM. In Maurice Ravel's Bolero: Eighth note, triplet sixteenths, eighth note, triplet sixteenths, pair lf eighth notes | eighth note, triplet sixteenths, eight note, triplet sixteenths, triplet sixteenths, triplet sixteenths. Repeat. (Taken ar 62-72 BPM.) I don't know of this one counts, but it's the jazz 2-4. The cymbal plays quarter note, pair of eighth notes, quarter note, pair of eighth notes. With that in mind, notice how the pair of eighth notes come in on beats 2 and 4. The drummer adds high-hat or side stick (or both, or high-hat on beat 2 and side stick on beat 4, can also work vise versa) to emphasize those beats. (It also explains why music inspired by African culture or jazz, have people clap on beats 2 and 4.) Anyways, that's all the beats I know so far. [I'm a little sleepy and burnt.] Hope you read this. !!!
Massive congratulations for the 1 Million subs. I already watched a bit from your live stream but man is it amazing to see you grow. Your channel is one of the most interesting ones that I have watched in the last few years. You have taught me so much and as I am starting to learn piano, you were one of the biggest inspirations. Thanks David.
I love that my 3 year old loves this channel as much as I do, but he stays up late in his crib reciting "pass the goddamn butter" and I find it very distracting...
Favourite example of double tresillo: "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" by LCD Soundsystem. Good for learning the rhythm because almost all the instruments are emphasising the double tresillo.
Actually on my path to learn more and more about music Your channel has been extremely helpful ever since I first discovered it accidentally in Oct. of 2021, UA-cam itself recommended it to me then, a hit in the bull´s eye😊😊
One of my favorite songs says "feels so good when I know you're skankin' with me" and I had to go back and listen to see if that skank rhythm was used. Sure enough it was right there!
Congratulations on the Million ! You are one of the few youtuber of whom I'm excited every time I see the notification. I owe you half of my musical education, the other half belong to rick beato like a lot of other here I guess 😂 Please keep going and feel free to try new concepts in the future if you want 😁
I love love love this channel. I think Tool "Vicarious" is 5/4. I'm the type of drummer that just kind of does it and reads after what it is so this gets my 🧠 programmed right. Will be looking to do more drum programming so theoretical rhythm breakdowns are super helpful
4:15 Habanera in "Carmen" by S.Iradier too (like "Paloma"). Bizet didn't know about it, he thinked that is Cuban folk song, but later he wrote a remark, that this tune has author
Thanks soo much for the Skank rhythm. I'm always excited when my favorite music is mentioned on your channel. But the songs you listed are more classic examples of Rock Steady rather than Ska, especially when it comes to the great Toots Hibbert with his Maytals or John Holt with The Paragons. Although it's nearly the same rhythm, of course. Just much slower and with different bass lines. But anyway: great video and please do more of this old jamaican stuff! :)
Awesome and informative and clearly presented, as always. Thank you. May I suggest a few more rhythms to consider? 1) "America," from Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story," has a meter which constantly shifts between 6/8 and 3/4. This also happens in many songs from "Man of La Mancha," (yes, I'm a Broadway nerd), so perhaps there is a name for it? 2) Also by Bernstein, "Gloria tibi" (from "Mass") is in 5/8, usually a feeling of 3+2, except for a short contrasting portion in the middle, where it switches to 2+3. Bouncy and fun. 3) "Ergen Deda" by Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares is an amazing song with a tricky rhythm. I think it's 7/8, but I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps worth checking out. Thank you again for your wonderful channel.
Many Congratulations David, on reaching your 1m subs. I couldn't believe I wasn't one of them. I've watched tons of your vids! Anyway, sorted now. And a big thanks to you, for your amazing output and willingness to educate for free.
Your videos are mazing, they have got me thinking about music in an entirely different way, I've been making a lot of songs in odd time signatures in different keys thanks your videos about chords and time signatures
13:18 - thank you, David, as always, for another excellently produced and informative music education video! It's great to see your gold play button plaque in your hands at last!
Congratulations on the 1mm subs, you have such a great channel, I learn a ton all the time and I've been studying music theory for years and playing for >30!... Glad great creators like you exist!
After I retired, I started digging deeper into my love of songwriting and performing. David, though I'm old enough to be your grandfather, your videos have taught me so much, brought be joy, and kept me interested in music when things are tough. Honestly surprised you weren't at a million viewers long ago. Many congratulations, sir.

Every song that's ever made me wanna dance is the Barbra Ann rhythm, and I'd never noticed it before. Thanks for that.
Nothing better than when you're lazing around the house on a Sunday afternoon and you see a new David Bennett video has dropped.
😊😊😊

Chilling at home in South Africa. Pure Bliss.

I don’t know what this rhythm is called, but it goes “1 + (2) + 3 + (4).” It shows up a bunch in film scores.

3 for dbl. tresillo: (well, I don't know if the third counts)
"In The Air Tonight" fill
"The Distance" (Cake) riff
(maybe) Never Gonna Give You Up (the famous fill is very similar to the one from In The Air Tonight)
9:20 In "Ranking Polyrhythms," after hearing 5:4 Shawn says, quote, "We [Sungazer] do that on... 'Machina.'"
Skank: "Just A Girl" (No Doubt- most prominent in the synth combo, I think)
Gallop: William Tell Overture finale and it feels like that's what John's playing in the intro to Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da!

I was thinking of Spiderwebs by No Doubt for Skank. I'm sure they had a few more.
@@jspihlman I feel like "Just A Girl" has it too!

I know you gave many examples for the double tresillo, but I still can’t believe one of them wasn’t Pinball Wizard!
Or Kashmir!
I was waiting for him to mention Myxomatosis as an example... would I be wrong in thinking that it could be described as a double tresillo rhythm?
@@amnesomniacThe rhythm for Myxomatosis goes further than just a double tresillo tho
Right. That's just the rhythm of the guitar part.
Or Chop Suey

The "Apocalypse in 9/8" section of "Supper's Ready" by Genesis is the other famous usage of the Aksak rhythm in Western popular music.
That's in 9/8, but it's not an Aksak rhythm. As he says, not all 9/8 rhythms are Aksak rhythms.

Dear David, thank you for your inspiration and your diligent work to edify us. It must take hours and hours to do your research to provide us with effective examples. Congrats on your well earned award--which truly reflects your heart of gold for music education!
Samba. Which i have been studying has chord changes on the half beat before 1. A wonderful groove that is distinct. And more than this obviously and very complex as a form of Brazilian street music.
Here are some other rythmes that exist.
One of them is 11/8. It's a dance from the Balkan's. You count as groupings in 2 2 3 2 2. The 3 is accented.
Flamenco has three rythmes which can be done in 6/8 (dotted quarter note as a beat), 4/4, or 3/4. In Flamenco, in 6/8, you can count 1 2 3 4 5 6, but 1 and 4 are accented.
In 3/4, there's eighth note, quarter note, quarter note, and tnem eighth note. Repeat.
And in 4/4, it sounds like Skank. So exclude that one. Mind you, Flamenco is fast, so pump the tempo up to 160, less, or more.
Another ryrhme is Bolero. (Both Latin Music and from Maurice Ravel's Bolero.) In Latin Bolero, you have an eighth note, triplet sixteenths, and six eighth notes. Repeat. Bolero is usually slow, so it's usually at 80-120 BPM.
In Maurice Ravel's Bolero: Eighth note, triplet sixteenths, eighth note, triplet sixteenths, pair lf eighth notes | eighth note, triplet sixteenths, eight note, triplet sixteenths, triplet sixteenths, triplet sixteenths. Repeat. (Taken ar 62-72 BPM.)
I don't know of this one counts, but it's the jazz 2-4. The cymbal plays quarter note, pair of eighth notes, quarter note, pair of eighth notes.
With that in mind, notice how the pair of eighth notes come in on beats 2 and 4. The drummer adds high-hat or side stick (or both, or high-hat on beat 2 and side stick on beat 4, can also work vise versa) to emphasize those beats. (It also explains why music inspired by African culture or jazz, have people clap on beats 2 and 4.)
Anyways, that's all the beats I know so far. [I'm a little sleepy and burnt.] Hope you read this. !!!
Massive congratulations for the 1 Million subs. I already watched a bit from your live stream but man is it amazing to see you grow. Your channel is one of the most interesting ones that I have watched in the last few years. You have taught me so much and as I am starting to learn piano, you were one of the biggest inspirations.
Thanks David.
Congratulations on the success of your channel David. Incredibly well deserved
I love that my 3 year old loves this channel as much as I do, but he stays up late in his crib reciting "pass the goddamn butter" and I find it very distracting...
Favourite example of double tresillo: "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" by LCD Soundsystem. Good for learning the rhythm because almost all the instruments are emphasising the double tresillo.
Actually on my path to learn more and more about music Your channel has been extremely helpful ever since I first discovered it accidentally in Oct. of 2021, UA-cam itself recommended it to me then, a hit in the bull´s eye😊😊
Congratz David! I haven't subscribed yet but am a constant listener!
This guys a very gifted teacher and musician
One of my favorite songs says "feels so good when I know you're skankin' with me" and I had to go back and listen to see if that skank rhythm was used. Sure enough it was right there!
You're incredible David! So well deserved 🎉🙏
Congratulations on the milestone.
Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on the Million ! You are one of the few youtuber of whom I'm excited every time I see the notification. I owe you half of my musical education, the other half belong to rick beato like a lot of other here I guess 😂 Please keep going and feel free to try new concepts in the future if you want 😁
I love love love this channel. I think Tool "Vicarious" is 5/4. I'm the type of drummer that just kind of does it and reads after what it is so this gets my 🧠 programmed right. Will be looking to do more drum programming so theoretical rhythm breakdowns are super helpful
4:15 Habanera in "Carmen" by S.Iradier too (like "Paloma"). Bizet didn't know about it, he thinked that is Cuban folk song, but later he wrote a remark, that this tune has author
Thanks soo much for the Skank rhythm. I'm always excited when my favorite music is mentioned on your channel.
But the songs you listed are more classic examples of Rock Steady rather than Ska, especially when it comes to the great Toots Hibbert with his Maytals or John Holt with The Paragons.
Although it's nearly the same rhythm, of course. Just much slower and with different bass lines.
But anyway: great video and please do more of this old jamaican stuff! :)
Awesome and informative and clearly presented, as always. Thank you.
May I suggest a few more rhythms to consider?
1) "America," from Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story," has a meter which constantly shifts between 6/8 and 3/4. This also happens in many songs from "Man of La Mancha," (yes, I'm a Broadway nerd), so perhaps there is a name for it?
2) Also by Bernstein, "Gloria tibi" (from "Mass") is in 5/8, usually a feeling of 3+2, except for a short contrasting portion in the middle, where it switches to 2+3. Bouncy and fun.
3) "Ergen Deda" by Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares is an amazing song with a tricky rhythm. I think it's 7/8, but I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps worth checking out.
Thank you again for your wonderful channel.
Congratulations! You totally deserve it. Your channel is highly professional! Excellent work! Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Many Congratulations David, on reaching your 1m subs. I couldn't believe I wasn't one of them. I've watched tons of your vids! Anyway, sorted now. And a big thanks to you, for your amazing output and willingness to educate for free.
“Solace” by Scott Joplin was in the soundtrack to “The Sting,” and it uses the tango or habanera rhythm.
The Gallop happens in classical as well, in the beginning of Grieg's Holberg Suite for example.
Congrats on the gold play button! Certainly deserved!
Another obvious one is William Tell, finale!
Reverse gallop and you end up with an incredibly common synth rhythm.
Is Kraftwerks Trans Europe Express a Gallop? Sounds a lot like one.
Obvious gallop rhythms in Tchiakovsky's "Russian Dance" (1892) and J.S. Bach's "Bourrée in E Minor" (1710s)
Congrats for the gold play button. Well deserved! 👏
Congratulations on 1M subscribers! Thank you for all your hard work!
Congrats to a wonderful teacher from one of your million!
This channel is so amazing. So knowledgeable and good teaching.
Thanks!
I love the fact that I really learn so much about music from this channel ❤🎉😊
Another amazing video David! Fantastic. Well deserved on the 1M subs! Very happy for you!
Your videos are mazing, they have got me thinking about music in an entirely different way,
I've been making a lot of songs in odd time signatures in different keys thanks your videos about chords and time signatures
Congrats on the 1M Dave! Truly a great music teacher out there!
13:18 - thank you, David, as always, for another excellently produced and informative music education video! It's great to see your gold play button plaque in your hands at last!
Thanks! 😊
god damn david, your videos inspire me every single time I watch them. Thank you so much!
so good! thank you!
Thank you too!
Hearing The Mars Volta followed by System of A Down was like a one-two punch at 2:09. Some awesome examples in this video as always!
Oh, and congratulations on a well-deserved golden play button. :)
Missing something here. To take Tresillo as an example, there are 4 notes (if you count 2 for the tied notes), yet there are 5 audible beats.
Another good example of the Barbara Ann rhythm is what the trumpets play during the clarinet solo of “Rocking in Rhythm” by Duke Ellington
I could listen to you talk about this forever
Congratulations love your channel
Congratulations on the 1mm subs, you have such a great channel, I learn a ton all the time and I've been studying music theory for years and playing for >30!... Glad great creators like you exist!
There is an universe of rythms in flamenco music! Bulerías is a rythm everybody should know about.
The double tresillo is my favorite rhythm!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Thank you for your help!
