Becoming fluent with odd time signatures is something every drummer struggles with at some point. Today, Adam Tuminaro (aka the Orlando Drummer) will be demonstrating exercises and concepts that will help you expand your playing beyond 4/4 time.
Important note! Adam is not just here to provide you with grooves in 7/8, but rather help you become comfortable in 7/8 so you can express yourself without being tied to specific grooves. He will show you how to take any 4/4 groove and chop it down to 7/8, whether it be in 8th notes, 16th notes, or even 16th note triplets.

I love the sound of those cymbals!
ive been playing guitar for 14 years and this has greatly improved my writing in odd meter.
Great lesson, thanks. Your break down of the math is very helpful.
Gene, most songs that I've written (some I've shared on my channel) in the past 2 years are in 7/8 and I look for fresh ideas on this time sig. I dig what you brought to the table and how you brought it. Well done, Gene! Thank you.
Oh hi andrew i just came from your video "7/8 explained" .. and im still confused haha, its okay im just dumb.. gotta learn more
@@natanaelkevin2025 , You are not dumb. If you are getting into music theory that is a good thing! And yes, there will be times when it just doesn't make sense right away. So give yourself some slack, okay? :-) A simple way of looking at what may be confusing about 7/8 or any other ?/8 time signature is this: Although they are called eighth notes there does not always have to be eight of them.
Great instructions, I will be working on it. Thanks man!
Well done and love trying to playing your stuff Adam!
That 2nd groove that he played can also be played as a Purdie Shuffle, but in 7. Sounds pretty cool. Bit more of a challenge but it is a good one
I'm a huge Vinnie Colaiuta fan and found it very helpful to play along some tracks he appears on in regards to wrapping your head around the 7/8 feel. I especially recommend playing along to Sting's "Saint Augustine in Hell" which have a somewhat straight 4/4 to it but is in 7/8 :-)
would love to see the same thing in 5/8. i feel it's a little more difficult of a concept than 7/8 but just as fun.
5/8 is 12 345 or 123 45
just like 7/8 is 12 34 567. Idk why he doesnt say it that way.
he gots some mean on his site great drummer and breaks it down
Great lesson
wow this adam guy is the shit
he's gay
Hey bro, Ur first demo of this video i believe its easier to transcribe as 7/4 time signature instead of 7/8.. coz ur playing shuffle anyway.. 7/4 makes it look easier in the drum score. Anyways good job, killer cymbals..
The last example reminded me of the most recent groove I learned, from the "woven web" by animals as leaders. It's about 3/4 through the song and it is 7/8 with a quarter note pulse, and some double bass. Very fun stuff.
nice stuff , the last quarter note principle is used by vinnie colaiuta but mostly as accents on 8th notes in a few sting songs in 5 and 7 timing , "seven days" , "brought to my senses" ( cymbal tap in that one ) , "i hung my head" etc
+ian pretorius Also Saint Augustine in Hell. It's a great one
Can we learn how to groove freely in 7/4? :)
+graduator14 7/4 is very similar to 7/8 except you count 7 QUARTER notes instead of EIGHT notes. So instead of shaving off 2 notes in straight sixteenths or 3 in sixteenth note triplets, you only shave off one quarter note for every two bars (so a bar of 4/4 and a bar of 3/4).
Thank you for the explanation. :)
Great vocal mic.
Orlando drummer, nice bro
Everyone is talking about the cymbals and I'm like: Boom, what a dope sounding kit! :D
Thanks!
These are really great lessons, thanks Adam
Don't get me wrong, I love Adam's playing, but to me this is more 7/4 than 7/8. Usually when you play 7/8 you have some kind of note grouping, like 2+2+3, or 3+2+2. But I still like this video, Adam's playing is killer. Just my opinion.
+Alex D I agree, I hear this as 7/4.
I would have to disagree! 7/4 would imply that there are 7 quarter notes per measure, and that's certainly not how any of these grooves are counted or notated in this lesson. You may choose to count a measure of 4 quarter notes, followed by a measure of 3 (or vis versa) but I assure you these grooves are in the time signature of 7/8. (How you get to 7 is up to you, but I'm not sure why you would prefer to have the perspective of quarter notes in these kinds of exercises.)
I would still consider a lot of these as 7/4 because there aren't distinct groupings of 2 and 3 like you would usually have in an x/8 signature. The very last one in the video definitely has a distinct 7/8 feel of 2+2+3. Most of these- though notated as 7/8 feel more like 7/4 because you count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 rather than 1 2 1 2 1 2 3.
Never mind haha, I jumped around the video and didn't listen to it fully- at the faster tempos he does these definitely sound as 7/8. I still prefer counting the groove at the intro in 7/4 though :)
+Control Alt Delete You don't have to count odd time signatures using groupings. You can, but you don't have to. A 7/8 is nothing but a bar that is 7 8th notes long. As simple as that. :)
Bring Adam on full time! His lessons are great and very clear to understand
plz : )
+Josian Soto go to Orlando drummer he has his own site
now, that is the way Adam should sounds at his vids, I love the way he plays but not so much the sound of his vis
thanks for the info, bblessed
Great
Guy remember 7-8 rythms are : 3+2+2, 2+3+2,2+2+3.Also the same thing for 9-8,12-8.U just count the accent and it;s easy
those byzance cymbals though!!!!!!
Fantastic video! What cymbals are you using?
+Scott Lee aren't they the Sabian's Big and Ugly cymbals?
www.sabian.com/en/article/introducing-the-big-ugly-collection-from-sabian
+Scott Lee I'm pretty sure he's endorsed by Meinl.
*****
ok, didn't know that
+Scott Lee They are meinl byzance extra dry
Sounds Jeff Porcaro's groove at 3:37 (Rosana)
You can also think 4+3 or 5+2 when playin 7/8 or 4+5 or 5+4 when playing 9/8, feel free to break it down as you wish
He has legit, all the quintessential meinls
thank's
awesome👍
Stephen Taylor made a video on the same topic 2 weeks before this one came out. Coincidence or nah?
What drum set is being used? What are the sizes? Also, what watch is Adam wearing?
The sound of muzak - Porcupine Tree
Thanks dude! Now I'm gonna write a song in 7/8 :)
nice
luv
Hey what kind of sticks do you recommend to play fast and to sound loud ?
Brandon Trif experience, skill, preferably 5A sticks lol
Brandon
The ones that feel most comfortable to you!.......
I need advice. What would be a good program to use to edit music at ur house.
❤❤
@5:39
Why isn't this written or read simply as
1 2 3(first 3 qtr notes) then
4& 5& 6& 7&
Wouldn't that make it simpler and easy to loop or am I missing anything fundamental here?
It's because the beat lasts 2 bars
Purd/7...wish my kick wasn't so 1....thanks.
That kick has more bass than my subwoofer can handle
Feel I need to go to a fraction learning class.????
Could anyone explain why 1 2 3 4 1& 2& 3& 4 is still in 7/8?
Das Tofutier he does the quarter note in 1,2,3,4 and eight notes in the 5,6 & 7. But he write it as a 1,2,3,4,1,2,3. Instead of 1,2,3,4,5&,6&7&
Τhat are taste

Groovy? Not at all. Check out Gavin Harrison's videos about odd meters or listen to Sound of Muzak, Bonnie the Cat or So Called Friend by Porcupine Tree.
How to play 16th note grooves in 4/4 should be the title.
and what about SEVEN ELEVEN 7/11
1234567 7/8 ok. but 1212123 7/8 very hard.. try ;)
1234567 is 7/4. not 7/8. Thats the difference between 7/4 and 7/8. and yes 7/8 is hard.
How To Groove Freely In 7/8 - Drum Lesson
I'm early, gottam ake a joke
thong.
this man just called meter a fraction ouch
First :) loved the lesson
Adam is a white Dothraki
If you do a lesson goes slow please…
This guy makes it so complicated. Subtract 3 triplet sixteenth notes? 14/16? He doesnt even talk about meter. Which is the easiest thing about it.
So basically what you want to do is to take off the last sixteenth notes in the groove. So instead of 1e&a 2e&a 3e&a 4e&a; it would be 1e&a 2e&a 3e&a 4e. Then count it as 7 beats per measure instead of four beats per measure. Hope that helped !
But thats 3 and a half quarters, not 7 eighths. Its about the feel. I know how to play and count 7/8 and 7/4, which is what he played in.
+George Walker ok. Just wanted to help out.
Rhythm Doctor told me to come here to practice for a boss fight.
