I have a bachelors degree in music education and a masters degree in music performance. My moment has finally come. I can confirm, after all that study, this song is in 4/4. And here I thought those six years were a waste.
Based on years of extensive investigation and research of peer reviewed sources on drum set performance I can confirm that she is in fact playing in 4/4.
Wait I thought this was one of those videos where the title hints that the drummer would trick everyone into playing an odd meter modulation with some sort of 16th notes displacement and it was still a 4/4, but she’s REALLY playing a straight 4/4.. ok.
Yea I was also waiting. I guess that is the joke. Because I really did have the arrogant thought of "oh yea? you think you're gonna make me not recognize 4/4?! Hmpph, Child's play!" And then what I thought would happen, happened. I wasn't fooled.... but I feel like a fool. damn it. lol
I just consulted my AP music theory teacher and he came to the conclusion that she was playing in 4/4. If you have any questions I’ll be happy to answer.
Hey Jesse, just go to your ophthalmologist and tell them you need your glasses adjusted. If you’re like me and have had loose glasses on your face your whole life, it will make a lot of difference. My glasses are so much tighter and ridged now so they never fly off my face, and I got the temple tips bent at a more severe angle so my ears hold them in place.
I show up but I’m always late I just think I have toomuch on my plate Offer me dessert tho even tho I just ate Blue berry muffins or straw berry shortcake
The fact that this is a song with no odd tricks on 4/4 all the way through makes me smile I just love simple rock beats, some rock n roll, man! These math dudes, I swear, they need some of that
Psshhh sorry you don't understand linear algebra and complex systems theory enough to understand my riffs. I guess they're just too intelligent for you.
I wish there were more clips of her, she’s insanely talented and my daughter (a young, aspiring drummer) loves to watch her play. She has almost no media presence-who is this total badass?
it is so cool to hear something like this. i posted these and didn’t even go back to keep up with how they were doing for a year. now i’m just so surprised that it’s been received well. your comment makes me want to be much more active!
i check back here every now and then to make sure she’s still playing 4/4 edit: yup, still playing 4/4 edit: just came back to make sure, definitely still playing in 4/4
I have been studying, practicing, and performing music since the age of two. It quickly became my greatest passion and a lifelong pursuit. At the age of 5, I won first place at a piano competition of high school level pianists. By age 8, I was in 4 different rock bands, I was performing in high school symphonic, marching, and jazz bands, and I was a member of the Blue Devils drumline. I graduated high school at age 12 and immediately began my higher education at one of the most prestigious musical institutes in the nation, and it was there that I earned my doctorates in musical performance and musical composition. While studying, I was also the principal clarinet, principal trumpet, principal trombone, principal percussion, and director of the New York Philharmonic. In addition, I toured the globe with Metallica as their sound engineer (they wouldn’t let me be their drummer). I’ve since won 20 Grammies while fulfilling various roles with various groups, I’ve been awarded 12 honorary doctorates, and I was listed on Rolling Stones’ list of 100 greatest musicians of all time. With all my accolades, experience, and knowledge, I can thus conclude that she is indeed playing in 4/4.
What I like more than being talented at an instrument is genuinely enjoying playing something and making music. You, stranger, are both. This is great!
@@arcaicorecords check the pulse again. I doubt you feel this section in half-time. If it's 3/4, there are still two bars of it. Giving you six beats. You could also say there is one less bar. First still in 4 with the other being in 2/4. Though if you do feel the tempo is halved of what I perceive, then I suppose one measure of 3/4 would be appropriate. The pulse of this section seems to conflict with that. You could, theoretically, notate this however you wish though. Just definitely not 6/8, though possible.
@@sanargyros6 I actually felt the entire song in "half time" (about 90 bpm), which in that case, yes, that was a bar of 3/4. But music is all relative. When you mentioned half time, I had no problem feeling the music at 180 bpm like you suggested. It's like one of those optical illusions, where you might see one thing, but your friend says they see another and they you suddenly see it that way. I love music.
at this rate you'll never finish the first measure! but anyway, to be fair, you can't ever really play the first two beats. to do that you'd first have to play 1, and to do that you'd have to first play a half beat, and to do that you'd have to first play a quarter beat...
This music reminds me of bands like braid and spirit assembly and cap n jazz I went to so many shows in the 90’s and bought tons of records. Excellent drumming and guitar on this song.
Wow, I really loved that song, beautifully composed drums. Well timed rests add so many layers, especially those couple in the 32nd note fills. Well done!
Yep... i can confirm with nearly 16 years of guitar experience and 12 years as a drummer and with a degree in music production, she is indeed in 4/4. Great jam and what a drummer. Guitarist was vibin hard
That's not how it works thou it be 8 beats with 8th note getting one beat. Also it was uploaded by the guitar player most likely and so hence the name.
Man, that sounded awesome! Fantastic drummer and some awesome guitar playing to go with it. Didn't expect to listen to the whole song, but was a bit disappointed when it ended honestly. Wanted to hear some more!
She is playing drums here. This i know, its music that she is playing. I believe it is a song. And those are drums that this young lady is playing upon .
Wow!! Very much in the vibe of playing I do these days.. keeping tabs on this and if you should ever get lost in the vicinity of Sherbrooke QC, I know venues and we're willing to rock!!
After consulting with the rest of my IB Music Theory classmates, we have come to the conclusion that the percussionist appearing in this piece of videography, is in fact performing in a 4/4 time signature!
This is so incredible, please record more, I love this style of drums, definitely going to try to integrate a lot of these things into my playing, inspiring shit for sure i love it!
