It’s impossible to do anything other than the basic 4/4 because the sequences on top are speeding up and slowing down continually. It’s not one steady polyrhythm, it’s cycling through every polyrhythm.
He actually makes house, complextro, disco, with some orchestral intros/outros.. imo he's already a complete producer. You should listen to his last album, for sure it's edm but I think you'll hear what he's capable of. I agree that he CAN do other things, but not that he SHOULD
The beauty of this is that it shows the true ability of the drums- keeping rhythm- and just how difficult it can be. Moreso in the world of jazz where solos can go to all sorts of extremes, it falls to the drums to hold a steady beat all the way through. It would be extremely difficult to process a rhythm for this song without the drums, 8bitdrummer really is a master of his craft
As an aspiring musician, the most impressive part isn’t the keeping rhythm. The song has an even best in the background that makes it somewhat easy to follow. What makes it so good is how many little flairs he throws in to follow the vibe of the song, when he’s hearing this for the first time! Being able to correctly interpret the dynamics and match that with his own playing is the mark of a pro.
Virtual Riot is actually insanely good at finding concepts like this and turning them into absolute bangers. For example, there's another video on his channel called "death by amen" where he makes a full song using an amen break. Another example being when he collabed with Andrew Huang for one of his 4 producers 1 sample video and turned a short piano piece into a full complextro song ("Everything here except the drums uses the sample" is what he said). He's got a lot of technical knowledge and it shows.
i feel like playing along with polyrhythms is like trying to use a broken clock. it tests your timekeeping abilities, but the moments when you're in sync are so satisfying.
This absolutely sounds like a song my now dead brother would have designed. Dani (Daniel) i miss you so much. Hopefully you now have your peace. Thanks for this trip. It was quite nice.
I love seeing your drummer's ear and brain chewing on this song. ^_^ It's super fascinating, huh? I love the shifting patterns, where sometimes it almost doesn't work, but then it becomes something else that does. I like listening to this one while I'm working.
Kinda like some sci-fi trippy pixel game boss music the polyrythme sometimes being attacks in the game others being the song it's self dunno my thoughts tho
If you wanna hear an even cooler version of this. Look up "I heard you like polyrhythm techno" from Mel Doy. Trippy visuals, and a banger edit of the original track.
Heard this song a week or two before seeing THIS video and I couldn’t get through more than about half of the og vid but with drums I could listen on repeat.
To better understand what happened, I think: ua-cam.com/video/_iXlef9GFTY/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/4GaGnU8Ij2Y/v-deo.html would help I love your drum! hope you can discover more amazing beat!
This song is confusing, like everything was clicking for a good chunk of the song, then my brain felt bored, but in the last minute or so I started vibing with it again.
I know exactly what you mean. Most of the track just doesn't work for me in the slightest, but there are one or two moments where I just go, 'Oh, damn, ok...' The rest just irritates me for some reason.
I like how this started as *confused drumming* but slowly shifted into *vibing drumming* xD
it suits the original vibe so well too
pov: when your uhhmmm uhhhh going to do drums and you uhhh get tripped out from the music too much and you uhhmm uhhh uhmmm
Drummers with adhd zonig out be like
You are not napstablook bro
Merg style pfp
You tried
so quirky and funny, very haha lmao indeed
Virtual Riot really said "Its Polyrhythm time" and polyrhythmed over all of us
That was my favorite part of the movie ngl
Defiantly the quote of all time
yeah bro i liked that part when it said "♪♪♪"
Virtual Riot is an amazing producer, his Ableton music videos are 🔥af, I especially like the amen break one.
wait, you're telling me there's people who haven't heard of virtual riot?
@@litterbox019 yeah. not even squishyman does
Dont forget his cubase era too
This both works and doesn’t work at the same time, and it makes my brain turn inside-out trying to process it. 😵💫
welcome to polyrhythms
Yeah, a really hard bit starts and it slowly becomes less catchy as time goes on
no it just works
that's what makes it great
And it feels wonderful 🧠
I heard you like the8bitdrummer
You were right
how did you know??
yeah, man why i havent found this channel sooner, damnit youtube algorithm
"It's a straight beat, but I man wanna do something different, yanno?" then the drop and he do something different. And had a blast doing it.

Man this Virtual Riot is good, he should make a music career out of dubstep or something.
He actually makes house, complextro, disco, with some orchestral intros/outros.. imo he's already a complete producer.
You should listen to his last album, for sure it's edm but I think you'll hear what he's capable of.

Also I have no idea how he keeps beat while reading chat 😂

for 4 producer 1 sample, i would give it to au5. he made everything from one sample, including the drum. man really good at sound design
@@prohanta9360 he wasn't in that episode but yes
Close your eyes and imagine each color syncing the polyrhythms, you'll start seeing a spiral
you're right but it's crazy that you can just imagine that
You got me real confused
My synesthesia-less ass could never
another reason why i wish i didn't have aphantasia
i read this in the tune of my time by bo en

This feels like it shouldn't work and does work at the same time?!!! WTF?
I usually don't like polyrhythms but this one is a jam
what isn't there to like? haven't you heard 3:4?
You usually don’t like polyrhythms
My hands are on the sides of my head and my mouth is open
Not to be that guy, but have you heard tool?💀
The way your head perked up at the drop reminded me of that one Shaq clip when he was on Hot Ones LOL
Please check his other experiments like this, like 'death by amen'
Dude, that would be nuts
It's such a weird feeling to play at a constant tempo and feel the polyrhythms gradually shift
I love seeing your drummer's ear and brain chewing on this song. ^_^ It's super fascinating, huh? I love the shifting patterns, where sometimes it almost doesn't work, but then it becomes something else that does. I like listening to this one while I'm working.
My head feels transported to another universe
Man, once you fell into the proper rhythm you started zoning in. Majestic tune.
the many, many thousands of emojis sent trying to capture just how hard theyre jamming out
Virtual Riot x 8BitDrummer is the actual best thing ive ever seen 💫💫
I can only count to four.
The numbers have all beaten you
You never made it through middle school
1 2 5 4 (5 4)
now it's time to make half life 4
1, WHAT COMES AFTER ONE? 2, WHAT COMES AFTER 2? 3, WHAT COMES AFTER 3? FOOOOOOUUUUUUURRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the definition of the phrase “To Get in Rhythm”
I heard you like polyrhythms, so I put polyrhythms in your polyrhythms so you can polyrhythm your polyrhythms ;3
i already loved the song but drums on top of it is so good to listen !
its a friggin metronome combined with water noises. so cool
Man you really elevated the song to another level
Virtual Riot proving to be an absolute legend yet again.
this goes so hard, didn't expect you to cover this one!
this is such a lovely video, the joy on your face while listening and playing to this is everything
Polyrhythms must be the hardest shit to play on drums
Love to see two of my fave online musicians (Virtual Riot and 8-Bit Drummer) intersect
This is like the stopped clock illusion but in audio form.
so cool to see VR getting the praise he deserves. been an absolute game changer in bass music for the last decade or so now.
Ever since Virtual Riot dropped this, everyone is going nuts over it.
dude can drum to just about anything and it's amazing
狂いそうになる曲だ…😂
そのうち以下2曲をやっているところを見てみたい(*´∀｀)
・23時54分、陽の旅路へのプレリュード（かめりあ）
・SuddeИDeath（xi vs. モリモリあつし）
my man val going viral, ya love to see it ♥
Kinda like some sci-fi trippy pixel game boss music the polyrythme sometimes being attacks in the game others being the song it's self dunno my thoughts tho
Duuuuude this give me such stank face, beyond impressive you stayed on beat
Y'know what the song reminds me of?
Rez Infinite. Combined with 8Bit's drums, it's just pure bliss.
listening to this while watching an rgb audio visualiser is a trip and a half
I got that videeo in my recommended but never bothered to watch it, now this makes me want to watch it
When an experiment gets really popular :
If you wanna hear an even cooler version of this. Look up "I heard you like polyrhythm techno" from Mel Doy. Trippy visuals, and a banger edit of the original track.
Heard this song a week or two before seeing THIS video and I couldn’t get through more than about half of the og vid but with drums I could listen on repeat.
i can't tell if i like virtual riot's piano roll visuals more or vistanz's spiral visualizer more
Absolutely knocked it out of the park. Fav part for me is 5:37
You like polyrhythms on drums, don't you?
So I've been obsessed with this song. And this video was fuckin awesome
This makes my brain release the funny happy chemical
virtual riot is my all time fav musician. one in a generation. he can redefine any genre he puts his mind to
this mf sightLISTENING polyrhythms, while I can't even reach the hi-hat 💀
YOOO, a VR does crazy ableton things video??
Speaking my language 🧙♂️🪄🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶💚🙏
I Heard You Like Pokerythms would go hard. If only I knew or had Ableton.
Loved the song the first time I heard, fainted with the drum cover.
This is disturbing and satisfying at the same time. This offbeat/on beat is sick
Awesome thx for making this!! 🔥🙏
Virtual Riot the GOAT
oh shoot, my best friend literally showed me this exact video like a week ago XD
This would throw off my tempo so bad 😣 If not for the beat already in the song.
I just found the music like a few weeks ago. Nice!
god i can vibe to the drum part all day. esp high af xD
polyrhythms? he hasn't seen II-L
5:35 Peter Hoffman says in the YT stream chat "she poly on my rhythm till i get trippy".
i just wanted to point that out
i love how he covered the donation too at 4:46 !
so glad u added drums to this masterpiece
It somehow sounds like melodic riddim
Pendulum: the song
I want a version of this with 8Bit's drumming.
THIS GOES HARDER THAN IT SHOULD WTFFF
I couldn't be a drummer. I found out I think too much.
virtual riot said "ever heard of ear candy"
Alr now we need him to play Shatter The Pantheon
4:00 mario cart item block :)
Soon, someone will request Levitation 21 just to introduce him about... stuffs.
virtual riot mentioned 🗣🔥🗣🔥🗣🔥
To better understand what happened, I think:
ua-cam.com/video/_iXlef9GFTY/v-deo.html
or
ua-cam.com/video/4GaGnU8Ij2Y/v-deo.html
would help
I love your drum! hope you can discover more amazing beat!
music and math moment
Virtual riot video on drums????
This was a cool one to hop into
That was magical
YES YOU DID IT
instant sub on this one lol
This gives me a huge Touhou vibe for some reason. Old Touhou, not modern.
Old Zun sure did love his crazy piano riffs and scales ❤
So you're the PolyGod they talk about 🙀
This was awesome
I certainly do!

Polyriddim cover when
Now do Polyriddim
The minute before the last minute kinda reminded me of Minecraft music.
The whole song was reminding me of it lol
this is awesome
if u find that satisfying, check out stuf by Lucid Rhythms
Nah King Gizzard could play this polyrhythm lol
If you really love Polyrhythms y'all should checkout Prolaps
