In this video, Nick from Splice shares 5 life-changing and important rhythms that can be used from anything to drum patterns to basslines, melodies, or chords!
00:00 - Intro
00:11 - Tresillo
1:41 - Hemiola
2:57 - 12/8 Bell
4:00 - Clave
5:18 - ThaDhiGiNaThom
6:23 - Outro
One of the incredible things about music is the infinite possibilities that you have when it comes to aspects like rhythms and patterns.
That said, there are some particularly influential rhythms that have shaped a wide array of genres and styles across the globe. Below, we summarize the origins and musical qualities of five of these rhythms-make sure you also check out our video tutorial above to learn more and hear them in action.
1. Tresillo
The tresillo is the most fundamental rhythmic pattern in Sub-Saharan African music as well as Latin American music. The term translates to “triplet”-that said, it’s important to note that even though there are three notes in the rhythm, it’s a duple-based pattern (meaning we divide the beat with even numbers). In common time, the tresillo could look like two dotted quarter notes followed by a quarter note.
2. Hemiola
An extremely common application of polyrhythms, the hemiola creates a two-against-three feel (i.e. one rhythm is playing three evenly-spaced notes in the same duration of time that another rhythm is playing two). Hemiolas are widely used in drum patterns as well as melodies.
3. 12/8 bell
Also simply known as “the bell pattern” in Central and Western African music, the 12/8 bell is a unique pattern that can easily be heard in both 4 and in 3. An audio illusion of sorts, this pattern can really open up a listener’s ears to the idea of rhythmic perception.
4. Clave
The clave is one of the staple rhythms of many Afro-Cuban genres as well as Sub-Saharan African music. It’s a four-beat pattern that builds on the structure of the tresillo, and slight variations create the son clave, rumba clave, 2-3 son clave, and 2-3 rumba clave. Influences of this rhythm can be found across an incredibly wide range of genres, even including the likes of EDM and hip hop.
5. Tha dhi gi na thom
Last but not least, tha dhi gi na thom is an element of the South Indian tradition known as Solkattu. Constituted by five-note groupings, this rhythm can really help musicians develop their understanding of subdivision and tuplets.

What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
Are there more rhythms out there that I’m unfamiliar with?
I also will love to learn more about odd time signatures.
What is the difference between all these types of house music? Pop house.
vocal house
tech house
Acid house
Deep house
Funky house
Diva house
Hard house and beyond
Retrowave (melodic synth led) genres would be interesting. Thanks for the videos.
The way that you've explored rhythms from around the world...perhaps you could explore tunings (i'm not talking about scales, but tunings other than equal temperament).
This was very well executed, illustrative yet compact video! I’d love videos like this about
- classic synth sounds and their history
- subgenre defining songs
- rare instruments that you’ll recognise from hit songs
i really wasn't expecting this video to be so thorough and mind blowingly diverse. i'm latin-american and is simply amazing to know not only the rhythms but their names and origin. this video might change my life
changed my lyfe!
@@theFastestSloth_001 hi
ok chillax
If you found this one cool, you might want to look at Victor Wooten's Groove workshop!! 👍👍🤟🤟
Anybody:
Says something originated outside Europe
Everybody:
wow
This is why I love watching videos from Splice. I did not even know that there were names for these rhythms. Thank you, Nick ! 💎✨🔥🙏🏿
❤️
Facts same here
There’s a name for everything
Boom clap boom boom boom clap
6:18 blender detected, respect for this guy to even make the motion graphics of his tutorial himself.
🙏
Damn. It's so easier to do mograph that way than in After Effects!!! Thx for the info
This might sound somewhat pretentious, but this is the first video I've come across that taught me music theory that had things I didn't already instinctually know. Aside from the Tresillo, all these rhythms were new to me and I'm definitely coming back to this video to experiment with other new rhythms
this guy is using blender as video editor. what a king bruh
buh
As someone of Ghanaian descent it's amazing to see Ghana being recognised for their influence on rhythm. Thank you for this great video and pronunciation of Ewe
Love that this dude gives credit to the homies who taught b4 him🐐
I never saw reggeatone as a tresillo, but that opens up new melody ideas for reggeatone
Watched this earlier, hopped on the sequencer and in 5min had a much more interesting sound than I had achieved before. Just watched again to retain more and put into practice shortly. Thank you so much for this knowledgeable insight and helping to broaden my international ear!
Really amazing breakdown and infographics that ties these rhythms to their origin. Kudos to Nick.
3:33 Absolutely, the perception of rhythm is so fun to play with!
I've made tracks using 5/4 having a melody play ten normal 8th notes and then lowering the tempo slightly playing the same ten notes but with five-tuplets instead in 4/4...
So the "personal/subjective tempo" of the ten notes of the main focus, the main melody being played, is almost exactly the same, but everything else around it changes. In other words the actual absolute length of the notes don't change even though both the tempo and their designation changes (from straight 8ths to fivetuplet 8ths).
Such a fun track to make!
This video reminded me of that and has made me want to make more! (and I'm only halfway through the video)
Thanks!
Metrical Modulation is a hell of a drug
If you explore more of the Indian music, there is lot of learning from there. Id love to learn.
I studied South Indian music in college and must say out of all musical genres it’s probably the most complex rhythmically! So much so it’s almost to it’s detriment as it can get pretty “heady” but i absolutely love it. Will definitely try to include more concepts and techniques in future videos thanks for watching!
@@nickthechen hello ! loved the video, very informative and entertaining ! I have a question, what would be some good artists to get into to start checking out this South Indian music?
Indian music is complex you have to go to the roots of it to understand it better
you're a learrrnooor?
This kind of thing is insanely useful. The examples REALLY showed the versatility of these and how they could be applied.
Hey Splice, thanks for sharing these rhythms. This is a video I keep coming back to, since it opened my ears to a lot of things that I didn't notice before.
Just this morning, I noticed a Tha dhi gi na thom beat in "Hyper Bass", by yunomi when I was playing through an old playlist!
Can't believe this is free! Thank you for adding so much value to community
only after finding a desire to make my own music did i realize how much more i could have learned and absorbed from carnatic music, which i felt i was 'forced' to learn growing up. very clear and informative vid thanks mate
UNT Alum here. It was wonderful seeing Srini and Gideon mentioned. And Ewe music. They changed my life too
Wow, this really opened my eyes. I've learned a lot of theory, but almost none of it was related to rhythm like this. This was enlightening.
Of all your videos I’ve watched, this is by far my favorite. Please do more like this
Good to see a vid covering rhythms such as these getting some exposure. Very interesting.
You managed to make me see rhythm from a new perspective.
Dude, I tip my hat to an amazingly well done, educational (in the least
possible beige-sounding or stuffy way) and inspirational video! Plus, I
love how chill you sound throughout while explaining the wares. Thank
you so much for this.
This video is amazing. I love it when people use the origin and show examples from real songs to reinforce the examples.
This was really well produced! This format is great
Really very interesting. Seeing as you asked, I think a world history on rhythm and instruments and music styles etc would be great to experience. I think these videos are presented very well. That 12/8 Bell section was soooo cool
That 5th Rythem Is So Mind-blowing And Complicated
Omg I needed this because I'm not well versed at making drum beats, they're usually what's lacking in my compositions.
I was really going to skip this but I’m so glad I didn’t; absolutely riveting, informational and historical to watch! Fantastic video.
Really great breakdown my man. Gonna keep this in my library to reflect on later.
Great, informative video. Drumming examples and all the other details much appreciated. Thanks
This was such a dope insightful video! I feel that when sped up on hihats, tresillo forms the fundamentals for Drill drum patterns. So cool
yep, that's exactly it:)
Ah yes, splice always coming through with the goodies. Gracias mi amigo 🙏🏼
Tresillo in melody is used in, for example, Airbase - Genie (in the main synth), and sometimes (or often?) in bassline in trance tracks.
I love these kinds of videos you guys make, very helpful !
This is huge, I've been looking for such a video for long time...
this just changed my life- not joking..thank you for this- I have been stuck and this opened a world of new ideas
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
This video is awesome. I especially love the editing, it early makes things easy to visualize
Tresillo is also what some call the “drill pattern” used with hi hats and countersnares within a majority of drill songs
Is weird because in Spanish tresillo actually means what in English Is called Triplets.
I was about to correct this guy xd
This is awesome. It’s great to see a fellow percussionist talk about production.
Exactly the video I was looking for.
seeing the ways you apply it is amazing great work!
Wow this is really great, knowing all this rythms will help me, I will follow your channel now
one of my favourite videos in a long time. thank you
one of the best music production videos I've ever watched
Great video breaking all these rhythm it down awesome. There so much info here I appreciate you Big Ups💯
MAN ! THANK YOU SO MUCH ! Amazing video !!!
I would love to see piano or guitar pattern in those style of Music (Rumba/ Salsa/ etc…)
Loved that video
This is a new world to me
excellent video! so much info and brilliantly edited 🔥
Blender sighting! As always, great video! Did not expect for you to use Blender in your animations. I'm assuming you use that for all of your videos. Glad to see it utilized in all the great and cool videos you have been producing.
Amazing video, so much knowledge to absorb. Thanks for uploading.
as a producer I could watch this kinda videos for hours, very informative!
that last one was fireee
Best channel for music writing and production
Thank you for this video! It was very useful!
Discovering polyrythims was an eye opening experience for me too and 3/2 was my first also haha
I remember sitting for hours trying to figure out how to play it right
Great stuff! Too many consumers of mainstream music and music education never get this rhythmically literate
Super informative video, love the 12/8 bell!
I've been wanting to get into more African drum music since I heard the Orchéstre Baka Gbiné, which blew my mind with how intricate yet catchy the rhythms are (Example: the song Boulez Boulez)
Thank you for putting up examples! I'm going to have a lot of fun diving into these recordings
Coming from the Caribbean TRINIDAD 🇹🇹 &TOBGO this beat really change not only my life but the way I see music production Especially the dancehall/reggae to transition
You opened a gate to another world. As a composer of orchestral music who received a classical education, it seems to me a fascinating world with a lot of opportunities!
Really nice video brodda I'm glad I found your channel. I'm very intrigued with all these concepts lol So I really liked the part where you were using the ride for the rhythm, I guess? I will have to go back and watch, but I would love to see a little bit more of that type of stuff. Cheers!
GOAT OF YT VIDEOS NO DOUBT.
Dude love this! Thank you!
this was PHENOMENAL thank you
Brilliant! Nicely explained
Wow! A well thought out and informative video
This is possibly the best video I have ever seen on CZcams, on any topic, ever. I would love to see some more videos about rhythms and more about music from different cultures. And the number 5 is just the right number of things to include!
really well explained 🙏🏼
Great video, thank you
These types of rythms really bring computer music to life

This is super useful!
Thanks man!
high quality beginner content! everyone should see this!
The Tresillo rhythm entered Latin American music by way of Jamaica. Reggaeton started with Jamaican immigrants and their kids in Panama making reggae/dancehall music in Spanish. Then it spreads from there to Puerto Rico and then everywhere else.
Tresillo was already in tango in 1910, though called a habanera at that time. That implies it was already in Cuban music by then
@@stevecarter8810 Thats actually a very interesting factoid, I didn't know that! Its modern usage in popular latin music is still traced directly to Jamaica, though. Its a "dembow" named after the Shabba Ranks song "Dem Bow" :)
@@cassiuscruz8570 yeah I don't see any reason to deny reggaeton got it from dancehall.
@@stevecarter8810 Yes reggaeton comes from Bahia in northeast Brasil. Bloco Africo's like Ile Aiye, Filhos de Gandhi and Olodum.
Great video, thank you so much for inspiration !
This was so amazing 👏
