So, we know your history with drums in the video you did talking about how they have been a part of your life. I would LOVE to see a video about all the different types of genres you've played and what you've gotten from each genre of music. I believe the difference between a drummer and a musician is the ability to adapt and use the tools you have amassed over the years for each genre. A drummer might be able to play the world's fastest blast beats, but they aren't going to be playing it in a worship setting. (Please prove me wrong in this because I would love to bring my double bass to church 😂😂) All that to say, you are a VERY experienced musician and I would like to know how different genres of music have influenced you, not necessarily particular drummers. (Although I realize that they can be one and the same) Thank you again for your content, it simply just makes me want to be better at my craft!
@Trevor S What a great suggestion man! I've definitely gone through my fair share of genres over time, from punk, metal, prog rock to jazz fusion, and now I like lo-fi. 😂 Pretty crazy how musical taste changes over time but as a drummer it DEFINITELY helps to learn as much as possible. I'll give this one some thought. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@lucaslindley4210 I wanna build a stave snare drum out of skateboards... Like a mini 8" snare drum that could double as a high tom lol I want to try and create that tight trap snare sound.
Your editing and explanations always take me back to the days of elementary and Jr. High when we'd watch Bill Nye in science class. For me, you're the Bill Nye of drumming education. THAT is the collaboration and video we all want and need. I feel like there's some drum science (not sure what) that could be discussed or discovered. Listen...I know this isn't a very realistic expectation...but you asked the fans!
I got all the joy on tool albums via walking to work 2 miles. Accountant colleagues thought I was mad, 20 years later I'm still an Accountant, they may have been right! Bugger, oh well, drumming is never a waste of time. Love your work man.
I just imagine you walking to work on beat with all the tool odd times signatures... 😂 You'd be tap dancing, People will think you're a spaz! lol Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! Cheers!
MAN that editing is so damn good, how the music stays in the background and the demonstrations blend into it perfectly! What a brilliant way to demo different rhythms!
It’s true! Thank you for saying it! As a newbie on a drum kit I love the nature of clear teaching and was certain I was misunderstanding how swung tempo works until this clarification. - thanks Brandon!
The way you not only explain it but also use the graphics are super helpful understanding this stuff!! Oh and the pedal you made is literally art,well done!!
1) I literally have that book, and have never opened it 2) It was super smooth how you edited your playing to be in time with the background music. Nice touch!
As a drummer, play some polyrythms on a piano over some basic chords. I tried it once in front of a number of musicians, and they were intrigued as they'd never seen someone play the piano like it before. They had a puzzled look as they tried to figure out what I was doing.
Amazing video bro, cant wait till your viral. The value and quality of the video is insane, loved that you used the backing track during your talking as the example. Made the whole learning process and understanding the idea communicated so much easier. Keep this up bro doing amazing!
this whole video is like a melody, it felt so satisfying and relaxing for my brain while i was actually learning! imma play it again just because it's so nice and flowing idk how to explain it haha thank you for putting all the effort into it, it's well worth it!
great video :) just a small explanatory addition: the different fundamental subdivisions are defined not only by their quantity per quarter note but also the fact that they're evenly spaced amongst each quarter note. 1:51 so if you want to play triplets for example, you not only have to play 3 notes per quarter note (since e.g. two 16th-notes + one 8th note would also be three notes within a quarter note, without them being triplets) but also time them evenly.. as you did, but I thought it would helpful to mention that :) 3:20 also to avoid possible confusion for beginners I would always recommend to not use the same syllable counts for triples like you use for 8ths & 16ths. Even if it's probably usually distinguishable from the given context Counting 8ths 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + and 16ths 1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a fits, since the "+"s are the same, but if you then count triplets with 1 + a 2 + a 3 + a 4 + a that could confuse some people who are just starting, especially younger music students, since e.g. the "+" is not the same beat as the "+" from the 8ths & 16ths - like shown at 4:32 (where you then used "&") just my 2 cents :)
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I’ve just always counted triplets that way but I see how it can get confusing. There’s too many ways to go about things with the drums. I just do my best with these vids lol. Thanks for watching and giving helpful tips! 🙌🏼
Absolutely! I believe that each place on the grid should have a unique and specific name. For example, if I describe the note to be on the "and of two " that is different than it being on the " trip of two".
One of the best approaches I ever seen about polyrhythms. This channel deserves 1 M subs asap.These animations are getting really pro Brandon and they are awesome.
Haha having gone through the mastering time course for the last 2 years I felt like I might not learn anything from this video, but alas, I see how a herta slowed down is a 3 over 4 pattern. Something simple but bells went off. Thank you brotha
I learned this by playing a 6/8 slowblues beat. Kick on 1, snare on 4. Then i forced myself to keep the kick and snare in the same spot and imagine what the ride would do in 4/4. Its a cool thing to do in the bridge of a ballad song or to give the final guitar solo some extra lift
Hey Brandon, funny you posted a polyrhythm video. I was just thinking about them today, and if I could play 3/4 polyrhythm, but with my left hand doing 3, and my right hand playing essentially a paradiddle. Haven’t tried it yet, this gave me inspo
Normally i dont comment! But dude! your quallity is on Point. Editing, Kamera, Audio.... I am a Drum Teacher by myself since 5 Years and watch tons of drum vids but your quality is outstanding. Keep it up!
Bro just pls make more videos. I like chilling while learning with your tutorials. Feels just like your friend or neighbor hanging out while learning. That's the Brandon vibe w quality content guys. 💪
Bro i just found you and your vid quality is crazy high, u can tell alot of work and thought goes into your videos. I hope u get the recognition u deserve🤞🤞
Whenever I’m tapping along to a song or beat I like to subdivide my tapping whit the use of polyrhythms to get some nice metric modulation going. It’s always a fun time
Dude, came back here to say that this video helped me to play a passage in a Debussy's piece for piano. Probably, if I hadn't watched it a few days ago, I wouldn't have realized I was in front of a 3:2 polyrhythm on the sheet music. Thanks!
Love your videos, Brandon. Not only you´re a great, tasty drummer but you´re also very entertaining and your videos look just soooooo coooool. Keep up this amazing work, man!!!
Hey Brandon. Intermediate cat here. Great video. I was hoping, however, for more elaboration on how polyrhythms are useful in musical context. This felt more like a tutorial/intro into grasping the concept itself. Great video once again. :)
Thanks this was very helpful! I think it would be really cool to see you do a drum reaction video. Your super funny and I think you would be really good at it! Much love 🙏
Hey Brandon! Serious talk... have you considered doing a video course on creating thumbnails and/or video editing? Because you're great at it and I know how much you enjoy every single one of those little details you make. Think about it! I'm sure a lot of people would want something like that I would buy it tomorrow! 😎
Banger video! Highly recommend checking out the relationship between triplets and quintuplets (5:3 polyrhythm) if you want to push that Dillaesque wonk further.
Dude. I love your content man. My band fucks with a lot of polyrhythms. Only thing I need to know is what kind of ride you have… its godly. Also; check ‘Polygondwanaland’ by the band “King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard”. Please.
Fantastic video. I find the 3/2 hard to feel especially trying to get that shuffle to work, the irony being "Not Difficult" is like the perfect rhythm for tapping it out.
You are certainly not alone in using the turn signal like a click track. In fact, I'm creating a metronome app and a turn signal was a MUST sound for me to include in it. 😅
I like my own excersize playing with hands alternating 4, 5 and 6th notes on full beat with my r/foot. The fun of the 5ths is that you cn alternate Left / Right on half the beat.
I figured out a different version of swung notes, Love of my Life by Santana, pretty sure Carter Beauford played on the song, anyway, I figured out there were swung notes on the hihats and kick, I transcribed the groove on Sibelius and figured out they’re dotted 32nd notes, it suddenly clicked. To swing notes, simply add dot to them, I could be wrong, just the way I figured them out :) and btw I play patterns to my cars click as well! Lol
Hope you enjoyed this discussion/lesson! I forget this is a drum channel sometimes. :)

The editing makes this just so much easier to learn thank you for making this video
The video editing part makes it more fine to understand the concept of polyrhythm, thankyou and nicely done.
Glad it helped!
The Animation 🤩
It just looks to good 😊

Bro. With your videos you are raising the bar in quality for all drum content creators. Excellent editing and excellent explanation!
The way you not only explain it but also use the graphics are super helpful understanding this stuff!! Oh and the pedal you made is literally art,well done!!
Very creative way of explaining this , and loving the production quality as usual
1) I literally have that book, and have never opened it
2) It was super smooth how you edited your playing to be in time with the background music. Nice touch!
1.) I knew it.
2.) I stumbled across the idea while editing and am glad you noticed & appreciated it.

So much effort was put into this bro! And it's amazing!!!!
Couldn't believe when you played on top of the background music like that. Some of the best drum content out there.
Clear, concise, and short. Amazing work man. I admire your work tons.

Totally agree, I find that counting triplets is easier when you use the actual word: 1 trip-let 2 trip-let etc.
Absolutely! I believe that each place on the grid should have a unique and specific name. For example, if I describe the note to be on the "and of two " that is different than it being on the " trip of two".
Crazy production value and very informative!
Hands down the best illustration ive ever seen!! It will stay with me till the last beat!!
One of the best approaches I ever seen about polyrhythms. This channel deserves 1 M subs asap.These animations are getting really pro Brandon and they are awesome.
What makes this video stand out for me / next to your relaxed style / is the animations. Spot on, showing the drums as a passing timeline. G.r.e.a.t
Channel is so damn underrated..
Haha having gone through the mastering time course for the last 2 years I felt like I might not learn anything from this video, but alas, I see how a herta slowed down is a 3 over 4 pattern. Something simple but bells went off. Thank you brotha
Brilliant editing. Relating the subs to walking what a great way to explain it to a beginner.
Was really hoping to get some insights into 15-11 polyrhythms but maybe that’s for next the video. Loved the great editing and the clear explanation
Excellent and useful instruction - thank you.
I like the editing of your videos. Very good work!
Visuals; explanations are... as always clear and sharp.. spot on ❤👍
Thank you! I'm a visual learner so I'm glad these animations seem to help others as well. Thanks for watching!
