Thank you for watching Mark and I'm glad you found this useful! The answer to that question would probably be the 'TH-cam Algorithm'. Please like or share the video - this will definitely help with spreading the word around.
You have devised an Excellent interpretation of this gem concept specially the steps of junction accents gaps isolation. Great to see a musician share the crux of his important learning in just 4 videos .... this may have taken you weeks to understand, practice and finally arrange it in an intuitive tutorial. Very generous of you Asaf!
Asaf, your videos are very clear, well explained, and best of all progressive. Thank you for the work you've put into sharing this on your channel, I'm inspired.
These lessons are great, and I attended a workshop you did at Morley College a few years ago, I have just started watching and completing the exercises again. I am having trouble working out how it fits with the rhythms in my orchestra music. Have you got a video or any advice about that please? Many thanks
Hiya, Thank you for watching the video and for coming to the workshop at Morley! I'd have to see specifically the rhythms you'd like to practice in order to give you a definite answer regarding your question but in general, practicing Konnakol will help with elevating your rhythmic awareness. Also, you can always break the rhythms you're trying to learn to groups of 'TaKa' TaKiTa' and 'TaKaDiMi' so you can understand the rhythms better.
@@AsafSirkis Thank you for your reply. I tried to copy a bar in but it wouldn't work! I probably need to carry on with the videos and all will become clear in the end. Many thanks
Thanks for your videos Asaf... for the knowledge but also making it accessible... I'm slowly working through them... the sylables make it so much easier to count rhythm and I'm hoping it will help my ability to count overall and coordinate playing the bass and singing, or at least know what's 'really going on' than just going on feel which can break down.
This is so great it helps us build a vocabulary learn how to speak in rhythm annunciating leaving out different gaps we can explore have rhythm can move up and down like a roller coaster and start building our own toolbox of syncopation. :)
Excellent !! It just traces me a path to a world of rhythmic experiments (with maybe a lot of work, due to my poor rhythmic abilities ;-) ). Thank you very much.
Hey! I’ve been taking these very slow trying to master each one before I move on. I have a question regarding future application to drum set: does it make sense to try to convert to exercises on the kit like playing through them first on the snare with feet keeping time then moving on to keeping jazz ride and foot and playing them between bass and snare? Or am I getting way too ahead of myself? Just as I get each rhythm internalized I’m getting eager to use them in my playing! Thanks again for this amazing video series! It’s been eye opening!
@@AsafSirkis Thanks a bunch! I’m seeing a lot of improvement in musicality from this! It’s freeing my hands up to play from the mind more than just mechanical. This has been huge. Really excited to see where it takes me!
Hi! I'm trying to incorporate Konnakol when practicing with my instrument. I'm trying to find out how you would count sextuplets at around 100 bpm. Just straight sextuplets, no real rythmic patterns. How would i count that? Ta Ki Ta Ta Ki Ta?
I’ve listen to several instructors but you are the first to talk about shuffle using ta-n-gu that helps me a lot.
why doesnt this have more views....this is rhythmic gold !

It’s a pleasure Asharman. Thanks for watching these videos!
I am a music student from Colombia and i am enjoying this course so much! Just wanted to say thank you.
Its a pleasure Felipe. I'm happy you're enjoying it!
Perfectly explained!
Thank you for watching!

Absolutely! Its a good idea, once you've internalized the rhythms/exercises, to translate them to the drums in any way you can come up with.
