the drums might sound 4/4, but not the guitars. i noticed this is what most people mean when they say boohoo meshuggah is 4/4, they're only counting the crash and snare
Well a lot of people think that it's weird time signatures that makes musicians sound "skilled" or whatever(and sometimes that might be true), but Meshuggah prove that you can also have a dominant 4/4 and still show immense musical skill with polyrhythms and other quirks.
@@Hooga89 exactly. gotta love how meshuggah makes it sound as complicated as possible. it's kinda like tricking one's ear into hearing 4/4 but they're actually playing in polyrythm the entire time
That's the whole point of this video. They groove in 4/4's , but their guitars are written in various measures, and they close their cycle in half bars, so they jump back in 4/4 along with Tomas. I know my friend, that's why i admire Meshuggah.
@@sadpotato7029sorry to be that guy, but it would be polymeter, not polyrhythm. Polymeter are 2 meters at the same tempo like meshuggah, while polyrhythm are two meters at different tempos so they repeat on the 1 of a measure each time, creating a new compound rhythm, which you hear in a lot of world music and drummers like danny carey. You hear examples of both concepts at different times in the works of Frank Zappa or Tool
