Rhythm concepts for intermediate producers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2024
- If you're not a percussionist, you might find it challenging to add rhythmic interest to your drums and synth riffs. Let's look at 3 simple rhythm concepts that can get you started!
We cover:
1) Dotted patterns
2) Euclidian rhythms
3) Polymeters
And we apply these not only to the note position of rhythmic riffs, but also to the ACCENT within those riffs.

Thats my boy im 35 and still learning, great job
As a mathematician, I was wondering why the name “Euclidean”. As soon as you explained, it became obvious that it comes from the Euclidean division algorithm, the very basis of arithmetic. It was really nice to see it applied and that it produces such nice patterns!!! Thank you for the video.
That track is fkin gorgeous man. Great vid as usual, even advanced guys will learn a couple of things here.
The world doesn’t deserve you as an educator, dude. Thank you for your knowledge
Depressed? Make some music.
You are the best teacher ever. Thank you master.
9:18 damn spicy groove
👍
That sequencer is amazing. Deffo having max for live envy
Thanks Oscar, still one of the best music channels out there. Much appreciation!
agreed!
@@J0Goproxy Thrice agreed!
8:45 wonderful melody :D
Man, the outro song is so catchy, I was wondered where the track would go during the whole video and I love how you developed it at the end.
YAY! Congratulations to myself for being selected amongst my shortlisted winner's. Gonna take $1,000 out of my pocket lol
Oscar channeling his inner Cyriak at the end. :D
That Andrew Huang video is great, y'all, definitely check it out.
Great lesson, Oscar!
Ahhhh now THAT's a reference :D
Good Morning & Good Day, Oscar!!!
Impeccable timing for how I am starting my day today (and week!), thank you as always 😎🙏👊🎧🎛🎹🎶
Dude that's so sick for live jamming, full live vibes, frothing on that construction 🚧
Hell yeah, I'm here soon.
I'll check the hole video later, but here you have my like.

Gracias!
Great videos for sure.
WOW ! stunned by the euclidian sequencer !!! thanks Oscar !
Great video! Well made and inspiring; liked, subbed and looking forward to learning more.
Euclidean sequencer PRO looks awesome! Have to add it to my collection soon. Thanks for the tip and overall awesome video.
Very cool sequencer
Man! This Guy is a Music Producer Too.
Thank you for your tutorials...one of the best channels
Great video!
Thank you.
I saw a great vid on polymeter but this really took me to a new level amazing!
Thanks!!!!
You did it again... Here is another of those excellent no BS video, straight to the point!
What a great video and as allways extremly well explained. I have heared the concept of euclidean rhythms a lot recently and ever asked me how to rbeuild it. So here it is. Thx a lot!
you are one of the most inspiring tutors around
bringing tools and knowledge that simply work
Masterclass of rhythms ! Clear explanations, very qualitative examples to finish with horrific eyes blinking !
really good stuff bro
I have to say that I subscribed after watching a single video of yours. You teach great stuff, I actually like the sounds you use as examples to teach. It's very inspiring. I look forward to dive more into your content. Thanks.
I feel like if we put you into a producer fight you would knock most out. Thank you for all your work and lessons sir
Awesome as usual Oscar
you're a very sympathic dude! youre videos are very helpful!
A whole new world is opening up to me, thanks to you Oscar, I feel like a newbie, like 30 years ago, thanks for giving my ears and my brain new ideas ? I was going around in circles for a while... and here we go again, you should be reimbursed by social security... Thank you Oscar.
Amazing video! Very, very helpfull. It's quite interesting mapping a cuple of knoobs of a MIDI controller and use it for control the Steps and Events of the Euclidean Sequencer 🙌
Another awesome tutorial, Oscar! And I really like your little pop-up photo images. It really is the same t-shirt!
I may have to look into your course. This channel has already single-handedly made me a much better musician.
this channel is something different then the rest. Love the syncopation videos. Respect!
Great channel!! 👍
Great material…
Great video
I never understood Euclidean rhythms till now.. Thanks for always making difficult concepts easy to understand. Cheers Oscar!
That really is his special skill
Excellent content, Oscar.
That section where you place the synth strike (and multiply the placement to show its transformation on the rhythm) would make a viral SHORT for sure!
nice. thanks x
I'm going to checkout your course. That track was so good.💯🔟
Euclidean sequencer is crazy!
Great video 🤘🤘
Man your vids are the best
Big thanx
you da man, thanks
Great set of techniques! The explanation of euclidean patterns was let's say "improvable" :)
Handy function of the LXR-02 is a built-in quick euclidean sequencer.
this is an extremely meaty, extremely thoughtful review of some critical rhythm concepts i've struggled to put names against. while i understood the gist of the ideas upon listening, and knew when i found them, the application for me has been haphazard as i did not understand the principles. really excellent work, along with all aspects of your channel.
Nice video ❤
As a live only producer (i produce with external gear only) I remember how I go by the gut instinct to create rhythm, melody, climaxes, and finally to finish the track. It’s not really something you think at, it’s a feelings that just fallows, and the hands follow that when operating the gear, but I guess is same with the daw production, when you get a certain experience you just fallow your instinct, you’re relaxed, you have fun, music making shod be very easy, ❤
goood one thanks
Great thing you announced that scammer Oscar from Underdog. Many creators is scared to tell or they ignore it. Again you proved you are a human being and not just a calculator. Love to you.
I am also a techno dj, fairly new only 2 years (11 years in djing) , your channel was recommended and I find it very useful to analyse the techno tracks that I am mixing.
I was following the chromatic weel and charmonic mixing, also beaking the rules when I felt it.
I will see more of your videos to learn more about techno music
thx oscar, best tips ever... now if I only found the time to use them ;)
Thanks for this Oscar...I finally understand what my ears have been hearing...and more importantly, how to produce it 🙂👍✌️
Men Always really awesome video, thank you a lot. Please dont die.
With love from France ;)
harnessing your inner AFX album art on that outro, nice
Ahhh so good as always! Thank you Oscar! Cool way to do a build up too with this sequencer. Also - the Polymeters video is still very valid, don't waste your time on redoing it ;).
que buen video parcero gracias omee
Allways top news and information...greetings from Vienna
The greatest cheesy opening to an Underdog tutorial.. brilliant. ;-). I have the Euclidean Sequencer Pro. It's fantastic. Great tutorial yet again... This is something I'll be bookmarking and incorporating into my new track. Thanks Oscar.
Plot twist : "Fake" Oscar is actually Oscar! He's not doing it for the money, it's just for the opportunity to proclaim himself a big channel!
Joke aside, I realized that I lost the account I've been following this channel on and although I haven't commented anything before figured I might thank you for all the knowledge you share! Not only is your desire to share it genuine and combined with a unique talent of translating it to all of us aspiring loop engineering students :D , it still must take a lot of your time..( this would be such a dad pun if I decided to write this a week earlier on the previous tutorial)
Peace!
Hahaha cheers Tora :D
I was today years old when I learned that every time I struggle placing on the grid the rhythm I pictured in my head because it was “off-tempo” I was just making Euclidean rhythms 🙂
I’m going back into all of your bassline videos. I’m trying to make some house basslines that sound older than I am, and I know the trick to stay true to the limitations of the time period is to stick to 16th notes, same with the tr909 drums. I need to continue just doing more things and making more, and hopefully find and create some fun movements between the drums and bassline
Wow! I love all your videos!
I'm gonna sign up for your course soon I hope!
BTW, any chance you released the final output of the piece you did in the Euclidean rhythm section?
Bedankt!
Awsome 🥳
From 9:00 is just beautiful... I need to recreate it so I can play around with that Euclidean plugin
Oscar, great channel great videos.
you are the best as always
I am becoming a fan of your channel :) Can you do a video in the style of Floating Points (or Lapalux, AndyStott)? These are styles that noone can describe the way its done.
