  • This video teaches you exactly how to break down a 7 against 11 polyrhythm, and play it. Why? Because memes can be a way to musical aptitude.
    It should have been sponsored by 7-Eleven, but wasn't. Oh well.

    If there isn't a 7-eleven near where you live, don't worry! Just do the #the711challenge near any small grocery store or convenience store. Through the power of 7:11 polyrhythms, all stores are 7-elevens.

      You used Mike Chen from Strictly Dumpling! I subscribe to his channel too and I'll bet he was talking about the 7-11s in Japan as they're famous for great food. I love your channel by the way. I'm a pianist and have great difficulty with poly rhythms. I very much appreciate your insights on music theory. Thanks for such an interesting channel!😃

      @Jeff T Interesting, all I see on your channel is music from *other musicians,* yet you're talking shit about a highly skilled professional musician who actually creates music. By the way, lots of classical composers were shitposters of their time - take Mozart, for example, who created pieces such as "Lick the inside of my ass!" (roughly translated, it's "Leck mich im Arsch!", literally "Lick me in the ass!") and "A Musical Joke" ("Ein musikalischer Spaß").

      hey i learned this stuff many years ago, one of my first experiences was The black Page of Frank Zappa and next some works of drummers like Bill bruford and Mike mangini, in fact i printed a Berklee web Page all about developing independence with metric modulation where they analized a brufordss tune that has implied metric modulations.. until i met chris dave i was developing a way to improvisation with pollyrhythms, then i realized that in history we used only 10% of the rhythm palet available... any binary o triplet o quíntuplet o septuplet and so on rhytm can be reconstructed 'inside any other' polimetry (for example in 11:7 would be funny if its used in a tune in 7/8 where you can play triplets grouping the notes of the eleven pulse) and whith only that, and the correct way to internalize for a jazz way to improvisation, one can slowly learn to figure out how to play any rhythm in any tempo, maintaining the original tempo! i have barely seen other musicians and composers that could use the académic notion of metric modulation like Chris Dave in a context of improvisation, with full full acuraccy even mathemathically, and the fact that he just throw those modulations like an emotional jazz musical exploration

    Dude thank you! I was walking around with this question in my head a lot latetely (mostly if you could divide a rythm like a 7/11 in half, in which case you actually end up with a 3,5 measure) since I never really dived into musical theory. But very well explained, good examples (I'm an auditive learner) and I literally laughed out loud during the intro!

  • @FahlmanCascade
    @FahlmanCascade Před 5 lety +212

    This is a gratifying and vindicating video. My music education did not include any practical tips for hearing or performing precise polyrhythms other than the 3:2 and 4:3. Anything else was handwaved away as "rubato," and for some styles of music that was fine. I worked my way up to clockwork versions of 3:5 and 4:7 by myself, using many of the same strategies described here.

    • @Ricocossa1
      @Ricocossa1 Před 5 lety +15

I don't find too much of that sort of territory these days, so thank you!
    I think I'm three years late to the party to be posting my own 7:11 contribution, though. We'll see if I come up with anything.
    When you were using words to envision these types of rhythms, it reminded me of the jazz thing "who parked the car, who parked the car, I did, park the car." I learned that for something to cross play triplets against 4/4, I think.
