Thanks for checking out my video on rhythm and don't hesitate to ask any questions or share your thoughts here in the comments section 🎵👍
when you did Piccadilly and the mixture of syllables, is each syllable [piccadilly/1234] worth a click on the metronome? or is there a click per segment of syllable i.e. click = 1, click = 2, click = 3, click = 4, click = 1 and so on? if so How does this work when there is a mix of syllables? What is the limit on the syllable segment?
You are such an amazing teacher and I love your sense of humor as well as how much effort you put into your tutorials.
@@alegreone 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your videos are really great. Very well done, and very informative.
I have been studying piano for the past 16 months, and find great difficulty in maintaining a correct and constant beat.
Your video on Rhythm is certainly helpful, and I have watched your video several times to glean as much as possible, and have practiced
your exercises many times.
I was wondering if you had any worksheets available to help in my practice, or any suggestions.
Thank you,
I am 80 years old and have played music most of my life. I only wish I had learned this when I was young. This method should be expanded and put into every school system. Thank you. I know this will help me to play better with others.
Warms my heart reading your comment - thank you ! Ruairi
@quodlibetful It is!
My school has this video as a class resource lol 😂 I search for your video just to say this and subscribe btw
I was born in the 90s but I wish I also had more music education in school in my home country. I grown up feeling like "illiterate" when it comes to music. Can't understand rhythm.
Im 99 years old and i wish i learned this 209 years ago
Never too late!
so many things I’m learning later in life I feel like this about 😅 thank goodness for the internet!
The click that happens in your brain when you get this is incomparable to any other feeling. It's just so cool when your mind goes "ok here's how we do it" like playing a video game when you were younger and there's a level you couldn't pass and you threw the remote into the wall in anger. But when you come back to it the next day you pass that level first try. The new connections you feel your brain make is so exhilarating. Thank you this video
I love that comparison! So true - thanks for writing.
I saw my dr yesterday and he said you need to learn something different. I had a stroke and my brain needs to learn something new. Hopefully this helps me. Thank you 😊
The best metronome tutorial on CZcams. Most videos tend to overexplain it to the point it is confusing. However, you, sir, did a great job! Thank you.
This should be required viewing for all would-be drummers and bass players.
Glad you think its helpful- thanks for the kind words!
also anyone that says they can't dance, it's basically the same!
At first i thought this video was too complex but after a while it turns out it's really easy to understand and it holds a lot of information, thanks man, a lot, may Odin bless you
Glad it helped!
Thank you Sir. As a someone who has always found picking out and keeping the rhythm nigh on impossible, you clear and run teaching is like mana from heaven. You are a great teacher. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the nice words. Ruairi
Thank you for your explanations and the exercises you show. Those "naturals" always say "It is easy, go with your feelings" and never show exercises, how to develop a sense for rhythm. Your video was really helpful, thank you Ruairi!
You're so welcome!
wooww the last method is incredible
Glad you found it helpful!
In my book Sir, You have been nominated and won the Best Music teacher ever. Miracles happen when a teacher knows what he is doing and cares enough to explain it without any sarcasm or elitist behavior. You have my sincerest appreciation and respect. I Thank you Sir!
Not only are the suggestions great, but the editing is clever too. Well done!
Your positive energy is boosting the whole YT ! :-)
This was a lovely intro class. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with many.
Very, very nice and clear lesson - thanks!
I can’t believe this useful video is out there and I I only discovered this now. Thank You
Excellent explanation. Finally getting it. Thank you! :D
Wonderfully explained
This video was so cool, so useful and I'll be trying all the tips, I'm a bass player and struggling with timing a bit, but you made it superfun to learn. thanks heaps :)
Excellent!!!!
Thank you!!!!!
Wow….fascinating Ruairi …..I’m very interested in the interconnection between language and music and I’m looking forwards to checking out your documentary….thanks for sharing musical theory and your passions in such enjoyable video’s🙏
Honestly, I am 72 years old and never felt I understood rhythm, beat, and time. I have a tendency to overthink such things, and I probably have a lack of naturally engrained rhythm; even though I love music, naturally, want to move to the music and somewhat play guitar. I wish I had had such clear instructions about 65 years ago :) Honestly, this is great. THANK YOU!
Great stuff Barry!
Thanks, man! Super helpful
You unlocked everything,thanks!
Say it and play it! I teach rhythm and I loved your video, you’re a fun and great teacher, you communicate clearly and with joy. Thank you! 😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Brilliant Lesson. Thank you man. 😊
Excellent …..love the stomping excercise…..I went to see Stomp once 🙏
Ruairi! Hope you've been to Chicago to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! One week before St. Patricks day the Chicago River is dyed Green. The green dye was originally used to help in the effort to clean up the river's waterfront areas. According to NPR, when Richard J. Daley assumed mayorship of Chicago in 1955. You are the Irish Blessing on CZcams!
Brilliant, massively helpful, thanks!
Thank you so much ! it’s very helpful 🎶🙏🏻❤️
New to music and the guitar.. this really helped this old guy out.
Ruairi excellent, clear and fun video tutorial as always!! Wonderful! ❤️
Thank you dear Sensei 🙏🙌
Thanks for all the video mate, practice every week, cheers
Great stuff Jeremie- enjoy the practice! Ruairi
Best lesson I’ve ever had. I took a semester of music . However, I understand more from this than the class.👍🏼
beautifully explained sir.
thank you so much for your time and effort and patience.🔱❇♾🏁
Thank you! I’ve listened to other videos and I’m so hard headed I wasn’t getting it Finally I get it! Yay!!
Amazing video Ruairi. I love your straight forward way of explaining things.
You lead the way Alex! I'm just following you 🙏 Thanks for the kind words.
When I was a kid I was in a music theory class for over ten years. We did this stuff exactly and I have to say having done the speaking and moving from a young age its made a huge difference in my music. But also the class was super fun bc us little kids got to jump around all the time!
Fantastic stuff Mikkel- thats the way to do it! Ruairi
Please make some more exercises of this kind,, its really helpful 🙏
Excellent. So simple to understand ,so important to know.
Thanks Rolf - glad you found it helpful. Warm wishes, Ruairi
This was an amazing lesson. Thankyou Ruairi.
You're so welcome Maureen!
Thanks Ruairi for another awesome, fun video! What a great way to awaken those instinctive rhythms we all possess. I think this would also be a brilliant way to teach kids about rhythm. 😁
Thanks so much Jeni - glad you had fun with it :) Ruairi

Delighted it was a help 🙏
Thanks for this amazing tutorial
Glad you liked it! ☀️
One of the things thank I worry about trying to play drums is getting all 4 limbs to work together. I will work on this exercise so to get my mind and body in rhythm.
I am so intrigued in percussion and the drums.
Thanks.
As a piper, love yr video, glad I found you! Thanks.
thank you so so much for this ! just beginning music and this helped so much 💗 will binge watch your other vids 😊

As a dancer this really , is insightful, I appreciate you
Holy sh*******ttt! You're aWesome! The concept of this video, editing, quality and just the way you talk and explain things it's just so smart and helpful! I was terrified of learning rhythm, but I guess I'm just not anymore! :D
Awesome! So glad you found it helpful - have fun and thanks for the kind words!
🙂utmost useful to awaken inner rhythmus !
Very good lesson. Thank you a lot!
Your very welcome :)
Amazing! Thank u!❤
The stump stump knee knee method is really useful to learn rhythm techniques
Very good concentrated explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
never someone explained the timing so well,even at school,thank you so much,could you explain how to match melody to the rhythm
I'm learning to play the bass guitar and I'm struggling with the rhythm aspect of it, so thanks a lot for this video! I'll try the exercises and hopefully I'll get better at it
I'm in the same boat!
Omg it was really helpful and working great for a beginner 🤧💖
Pls send more videos on timing great explanation
Thank you so much Ruairi, as an emerging drummer (at age 78) interested in mostly jazz, this lesson cuts through big time. I’ve subbed for more…👏👏✌️🌻🇦🇺
Awesome!
Keep doing these videos, you're really good at teaching :)
Thanks for the kind words! More on the way
Nice video and lesson, Ruairi. Those trained in Orff-Schulwerk will find some of these ideas and suggestions familiar. It's always good advice to start in the body, voice, and simple movements before moving to instruments. We all have our "native instruments" we can develop and you provide some accessible ways to do that, in rhythm. Great job!
Thank you so much Kalani, you lead the way! Ruairi
The best tutorial on rhythm I have seen. I'm have been trying to play a string instrument since forever and have been unable to coordinate my right and left hand and this tutorial has helped greatly. Thank you. Watched some of your INDIA videos too, great stuff. Tea, coffee, Piccadilly, tea…
Fantastic- delighted it was a help Marc, and thanks for checking India doc out too. All the best, Ruairi
Thank you!
After clicking so many videos, including preschooler videos, this video was the one I could understand completely! Thank you so much you are something special😅 you see I love to sing, but I never understood rhythm till now, this is really is going to impact the way I sing.
Really glad it helped! 🙏
Wow- this video really helps me get it- over-lapping the visual aspects of the notes/ words with the sound of the metronome and saying the words out loud really helped this click for me. I thought Piccadilly was 4 beats, but in your examples, its 1 beat over 4 sixteenth notes. My music teacher would sometimes mark the beats on complicated sections of music for me and I was OK when the beat would fall on a note or a rest- but sometimes it would fall in-between two notes and that would drive me crazy. The clicks on the metronome are like mile markers- they can hit at the start of a tone, in the middle of a tone, or on a rest. Thanks for this informative video.
What a great explanation ....my 9 yr old daughter loves it !!!! Thnx so much ...
Happy to help!
this is incredibly heplful! My dad is deeply into dancing, but he seems to have some problems with rythm and dancing on time, so i started giving him some sort of lessons (i'm a producer btw), but i hope this video really helps out, cause i'll be sending it to him. Great work
So helpful in training Acappella singers!
This was helpful as I don't really have what we call "a sense of rhythm "and using these exercises seems to help build that.
Delighted it was helpful - I believe rhythm is developed with practice so keep going!
Ruairi! You are a fantastic film talent, a natural National Geographic guide of world Rhythms & I am enjoyed all 4 of your Hidden Drum films, playful tutorials. With this video I wrote down your Stomp 2x +Knees 2x + Chest2x - Clap 1x - @ 70BPMs just like a recipe in order so I can practice without the video. Genius to tell us to use the metronome with the human voice not the wooden block counting. I didn't know that was an option! I am an adult new music student and your videos are the sugar in my coffee!! Thank you for making the impossible possible. You explain your "Why" so well! Thank you for all your video efforts& drum talents they are noticed & greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much for the kind words, and it makes me so happy that you are finding the videos helpful!
Great Video 👍👍👍
Great i have learned from this
Best tutorial congratulations
Glad you think so!
Super clear, Ruairi. Thank you for putting this together. I'll be showing my kids at school - I know they'll love it. Syllables....!
Delighted to read this A! Thanks for the kind words and Happy New Year!
Just what I needed. For the first time I feel I might be able to develop musicality
this is very good i learnt so much as a beginner
Really glad to hear that!
Great vid ty
Thanks so much Ruairi 🙏I enjoy your videos and way of teaching and explaining.Do you teach an online music course?
10:26
did these on my guitar. it really helped me feel subdivisions better
fantastic - glad to hear it was helpful!
I will try this with my 9 year old son. Thanks for the fun ideas
Great stuff! Thanks for watching :-)
My string teacher in high-school would give us sight reading exercises by making us say the note name, clap the note timing, and to tap our foot to the pulse. Talk about tightening up.
Excellent
so helpful, thank you!
