Rhythm concepts for intermediate producers
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 06. 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.

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.
Thats my boy im 35 and still learning, great job
You are the best teacher ever. Thank you master.
The world doesn’t deserve you as an educator, dude. Thank you for your knowledge
Depressed? Make some music.
Thanks Oscar, still one of the best music channels out there. Much appreciation!
agreed!
@@J0Goproxy Thrice agreed!
That sequencer is amazing. Deffo having max for live envy
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.
Those Euclidean rhythms are 🔥 - great job Oscar!
7:52 Thanks Rust!
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 🚧
Awesome as usual Oscar
the best seq i think, electronic hero
I like that you can very simly explain tricky things.
this channel is something different then the rest. Love the syncopation videos. Respect!
Awesome to see your channel grow to where it is. You really deserve it.
you're a very sympathic dude! youre videos are very helpful!
Hell yeah, I'm here soon.
I'll check the hole video later, but here you have my like.
I learn so much from this channel. Love it.
9:18 damn spicy groove
👍
I never understood Euclidean rhythms till now.. Thanks for always making difficult concepts easy to understand. Cheers Oscar!
That really is his special skill

As despicable as these scoundrels are, you should absolutely be flattered!
Con-artists, scammers, "managers", they ALL rely on REAL TALENT... to pull off their little childish schemes... because they themselves have no real talent, other than the drive to feed off others like the leeches they are!
To those who want to ensure they aren't deceived, notice how there is a grey bar around Oscar's username? That is how you ensure the commentor is in fact the channel creator themselves... Plus, we should all be pretty clear on what Oscar's intentions are in teaching us his wisdom and expertise 😎
Love all these videos, thanks again for the tips/help. Definitely useful in multiple genres.
Oscar - thank you so much for your content. Always clear. Always inspiring.
Masterclass of rhythms ! Clear explanations, very qualitative examples to finish with horrific eyes blinking !
I may have to look into your course. This channel has already single-handedly made me a much better musician.
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.
You did it again... Here is another of those excellent no BS video, straight to the point!
YAY! Congratulations to myself for being selected amongst my shortlisted winner's. Gonna take $1,000 out of my pocket lol
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!
was thinkin' polyrythm = polymeters , now i know ,thx
you are one of the most inspiring tutors around
bringing tools and knowledge that simply work
WOW ! stunned by the euclidian sequencer !!! thanks Oscar !
Euclidean sequencer PRO looks awesome! Have to add it to my collection soon. Thanks for the tip and overall awesome video.
8:45 wonderful melody :D
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!
Love this!
Bro you rock it all the time. Thank you for the inspiration!
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.
Thank you for your tutorials...one of the best channels
So much fun and inspiration! Thanks! 🙏
harnessing your inner AFX album art on that outro, nice
Great stuff. Thank you, Sir.
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
Man! This Guy is a Music Producer Too.
Loving your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🎼🎹☯️
As usual, interesting and useful! thanks Oscar!
Thank you so much for this video, super interesting and inspirational!!!
Men Always really awesome video, thank you a lot. Please dont die.
With love from France ;)
Brilliant as ever.
I saw a great vid on polymeter but this really took me to a new level amazing!
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
Thank you!!! Awesome. 🎉
Another awesome tutorial, Oscar! And I really like your little pop-up photo images. It really is the same t-shirt!
Great video, thanks a lot Oscar, this type of content helps me a lot in my producer path :D
Merci tes tutos sont toujours très intéressant
I'm going to checkout your course. That track was so good.💯🔟
Great videos for sure.
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
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 fantastic video!
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.
Really nice video as usual! Thanks
Man your vids are the best
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.
Gracias!
Euclidean sequencer is crazy!
Very cool sequencer
Great video!
Great set of techniques! The explanation of euclidean patterns was let's say "improvable" :)
Great video
Cool thanks for the info
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 ;).
Great video 🤘🤘
Allways top news and information...greetings from Vienna
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 🙂
Thanks for this Oscar...I finally understand what my ears have been hearing...and more importantly, how to produce it 🙂👍✌️
Great video! Well made and inspiring; liked, subbed and looking forward to learning more.
Great material…
Thank you.
Thanks!!!!
really good stuff bro
Great channel!! 👍
you da man, thanks
thx oscar, best tips ever... now if I only found the time to use them ;)
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
Handy function of the LXR-02 is a built-in quick euclidean sequencer.
goood one thanks
you are the best as always
From 9:00 is just beautiful... I need to recreate it so I can play around with that Euclidean plugin
nice. thanks x
Oscar, great channel great videos.
Big thanx
The correct term for the dotted pattern is a "tresillo". What you are basically doing is phase shifting the tresillo one 16th forward on each iteration. You can phase shift this pattern any way you want. Try combine it with a halftime tresillo to form actual phrases for further intricacy.
Interestingly, the tresillo is also present in euclidean rhythms. I like to call them "harmonic pulses" (which are movement/trance inducing).
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 dude, I've been playing this on my drum pads in my sessions. I've been training myself to play all my notes instead of entering them on the piano roll.. Part of my practice sessions are playing these off notes But i never did know what they were called. I just feel them. To see them entered on the piano roll is kind of trippy
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.
que buen video parcero gracias omee
