There are really few tutorials applied to electronic music (of techno almost that I have not seen) ... that talk about call and response, a technique born in the cotton fields, and the slaves singing and others answering the same phrase or similar to the call". I would like if there are more tutorials on this, and let's say in shorter grooves or in percussions how to apply it. Thanks, very good videos
Excellent trick. People can also use the example in your video to practice playing polyrhythm patterns. What they could to is at 3:14 they can tap the green notes with their left hand (on a table or desk etc), and tap the blue notes with their right hand. Once they have it mastered they can switch hands and play the green notes with the right hand, and play the blue notes with their left hand. Alternatively, they could tap a straight four taps per bar with their left and, and three taps per bar (triplets) with their right hand. It's a good exercise to increase left/right hand independence and for feeling two different rhythms at the same time. Let me know if anyone wants me to explain it more.
No worries. If it's initially too hard to do, what people can do, is load up the piano roll in Ableton and draw in the left hand notes triggering a kick (4 notes per bar), then draw the right hand notes triggering a snare (triplets, three notes per bar). Loop it. That way they will be able to visually see the relationship between the quarter notes and the triplets, which makes it so much easier to tap them out with their hands.
I prefer it straight. Without that strange cycling. Unless it’s for a jazz class or an experimental group, the traditional rhythm works better for the dance floor
