Derrick breaks down the process of counting odd time signtures in an easy and understandable way.
I personally believe that when it comes to this subject in drumming, many drummers try to run before they learn how to walk. Understanding time signatures is the crucial and often overlooked first step towards playing in odd times, and that is what this video focuses on. COUNTING, not playing.
His "rambling" is what i call passionate and critical teaching. he can relate something like music and its "odd" time signature labeling to life and other areas in it. This is quality teaching.
I've been playing these time signatures for years without knowing it. You are a fantastic teacher!
I wish I could find a teacher like this where I live .... He explains sooo well . Thank you very very much !
THANK YOU DERRICK POPE!!! You are a great teacher. Although I'm sure you hear that all the time. What you showed in 10 mins I learned more than 1 hour's lesson at my local drum shop. KEEP MAKING VIDEOS!!! I LEARN SO MUCH!! THX!!!
I've watched over 10 time signature videos and yours is by far the best!
Thanks for all your lessons! You do ramble a little bit but it's amusing, rather than annoying. :-) You are the first person to really explain the ins and outs of playing odd times. I'm definitely going to check out your other videos.
The ramble at 5.00 was awesome. So awesome. Everone who is watching DOES knw what you mean. AWESOME. Great teacher. Keep up the videos man
I'm going to have to agree with all these people. You are a GREAT teacher! You possess every positive trait that teacher could have. Pleeease keep it up!
Ohhh,man! I hate to admit it, being a drummer and all...but this is the FIRST time that somebody has explained this to me and I actually understand it!! Hoooray! You don't know how happy this makes me! All those years of school band and I never got the hang of this odd-time stuff. Sir, you are my hero! :-) Please keep making more videos!
I'm not even a drummer but with a basic knowledge of music, that was completely clear! Great job.
playing in crazy time signatures is fun i had a 13 /8 for piano and i am trying to drum out of the 4/4 norm
i am glad there is a video out there that addresses crazy time signatures. this is what real music is all about.
good job derrick
Quite probably the best explanation I've ever listened to...including the rambling...thank heavens for lamens terms and thank heavens for you!! Really!
I just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I've been playing drums for quite some time, but most of my knowledge is through self education. This video really helped simplify my timing and gave me more appreciation for the complex beats. Cheers!
Tool is another band known for having really unique time signatures, as a drummer their music is orgasmic.
You killed it man. You just helped me understand a musical concept that was so foreign to me before. Great teacher. Thanks a ton!
Also, you're a great teacher man. I love the idea of counting in smaller numbers. For 11/8, I'll count 1234-123-12-12. And for 21/16, it's 123-123-123-1-123-123-123-12, because that's the pattern I'm playing, always accenting the one. I still can't believe you tackled that one. Again, great teaching and great ideas. Thank you.
this was hillarious and informative. I've sailed the 7 seas looking for a video that explains odd time signatures. thank you.
You sir, are a genius! I am not a drummer (I use a drum program) but I've always wanted to create a more dynamic and interesting element to my music when I write, you have explained this in a fantastic way and I have learned a lot! Thanks again, great job and a great teacher!
Thank you!!
I have never understood odd time signatures until now.
holy crap dude this helped me out so much, i can't believe i've been drumming for years, and i never understood time signatures properly. no teach was able to tell me it properly. i will be making a generous donation to your website soon! respects, ganja4life peace.
I have no trouble with time signatures at all and still watched this video from front to back.
god this lesson was really helpful im more of a guitarist than a drummer but i do play both but this is the most helpful lesson ever ..why? because this dude is funny and he explains them so easily and gives them a quality rather than other people trying to make them complex like when he says dont make them jump out at you like "HEY IM AN ODD TIME SIGNATURE" keep it flowing just amazing keep up the good work dude!!
Thankyou for this. I'm 14 and I play several instruments, and you really seem to know your stuff. I REALLY agree with what you're saying about using them tastefully and that odd time signatures are used best when they are almost hidden. Rush did that very well. The examples I like to use include Golgi Apparatus by Phish where there's a 7/4 section that you don't notice or Blue Rondo a la Turk by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, which is in 9/8. Great video, cleared some stuff up for me!
Thanks!
This is amazing, I'm a guitar player and I found this video very helpful. I was pretty much in the right direction with my odd signature counting, but wasn't sure if I was correct. Also I watched the whole video, which doesn't happen very often, because usually, people who make lessons on youtube are amateurs and don't know how to keep others interested, even professional musicians lack teaching skill. Your lesson was very vivid and interesting, keep it up.
P.S. + for Breaking Benjamin t-shirt
I dreamed of this kind of video when I was a kid and first discovered I couldn't air drum to the solo and outro of Tom Sawyer like I could other popular songs! It took a long time for me to understand the concept of time signatures... I only wish I had You Tube when I was 10. Thank you for the entertaining video- especially the rambling.
This was just awesome. A real help man, thanks a lot and hope to see more of these sometime maybe.
Dude, this helped A WHOLE FUCKING LOT... Now I hear Meshuggah, Dream Theater and a whole bunch of bands through a whole new perspective... Thanks!
lol, "oh yes I am in an odd time signature! ODD ODD!" I already knew what odd time signatures were but this video cleared a few things up thanks.
this is so unformational and understandable !
i randomly came arcoss this video and i dont even play the drums. i do play other instruments and this helped me out so much cause i suck at counting!
THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE!
thanks so much for this vid! i've only been playing guitar for a couple of years and lately, i've really been wanting to learn how to count different time signatures like in death metal and stuff. it was confusing the hell outta me, but after watching this vid i started trying it and i can do it like a champ, coming up with some really cool riffs. thanks, brotha!!!
I wrote a song in 21/16!! Haha, that is so cool. I love the idea of odd time signatures and I like how they work in with music. Nice video, man. I'm not even a drummer (Guitarist-violinist), but I also learned some stuff from this video. Keep rockin'!
Thank you!
This is very helpful to my understanding of time signatures.
Couldnt have broken it down better myself...I teach the exact same theory at school... And lets just say theres alot of "drummers" out there who try to make a big deal and scare people with ODD TIMES!!! But your exactly right its just a way of counting and breakin it down is simple...
Awesome
I don't play drums but this still really helped me understand time signatures and counting them.
Extremely good vid! I am very comfortable in odd time sigs, but I still learned hell of a lot from this vid!
Wonderful. You've got a knack for teaching.
Mr Pope; You sir , are a teaching genius-
Great video compadre! I had a good understanding of time signatures, but this helps for sure.
Derrick Your instruction are great please do more ,Bob
This video was amazingly helpful to me. Thank you very much!
Great video. Nice to see a tuition video where the teacher actually knows what the hell he's talking about!
great vid (minus the 7min intro LOL)... I've been playing for about 15 years, and this is the best timingbreak down I've seen.
You are really good at explaining this stuff. therefore a good teacher.
great explanation -- I am good at playing weird times -- but not so good at saying what they are. This helps!!
Dang....I just had an epiphany and was able to count the drumming on the main groove in Mirrors by Between The Buried And Me. Thank you.
nice going with the whole romeo thing...
and nice hair.....
You've been a great help with many things derrick
thanks man, youve helped me out significantly with this video. keep rockin
you are an excelent teacher, keep making videos!!
1st of all,I really like your vids. Clear and concise. I teach and tell students to check ya out all the time. Keep up the great work. Btw, you seem to turn the time around at around 7:58 and don't come back. Oops! Sheet! It is easy to do when improving in 5/4. Surprised noone else caught it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DERRICK!!
I play guitar and was extremely helped by this. thanks
Thank you so much derrick.. time signatures were a dark cold thing i use to keep in the closet, till your un believable explanation of it all.. derrick you are an amazing teacher and player by your paradidles lol keep em comin man..
peace
Cool, this is really helpful... cool that you brought up dream theater, made me think of "The Dance of Eternity" ;) Lol, and the "Why did i open the hi-hat and give it a pssst?!" haha, good job on the video.
this helped me very much for my music theory class. I need to find a meter in a song, and I was not very good at counting odd times.
That's 1 heck of an awesome video, thank you so much ;)
Business as usual, Derrick: excellent work :-)
this man is a good teacher
I really appreciate this lesson! Thanks man!
Excellent vid Derrick Thanks.
great player and great teacher. Thanks muchly!
@TheDoodMan - He doesn't use any filler language: "you know" or pauses like "umm". You're right, great articulation.
wow that was great. thank you very much, i love your style. great teacher :)
OH MAH GOSH, this helped me SO MUCH, thank you sir!
awesome video!!!!!!! Im a guitarist and thinking in terms of drums beats when doing time sigs. helos me a lot. Great video!!!! thanks man!
good video, very intelligent guy, said exactly what i think about time signatures :)
keep rocking dude!
Awesome thing I noticed, on the 13/8, that the 3+3+3+4 imposes a neat sub-measure rhythm.
great teacher!! great lesson!
that was awesome man, really helped me out!
"HEY I'M AN ODD TIME SIGNATURE!" lmao. great derrick :)
-Mike
Great video, you put this very well
Excellent video...a little long but your style is very helpful. Keep posting good stuff. Very talented.
Quoting romeo, kicking ass on drums. I ramble too, but you make sense. I dig.
Odd time signatures are fun, only known they existed for a year!!! If I can do it than you can!!!!
holy crap. this made my brain hurt, but I fully got it. Thanx man
Thank you Derrick
Hi there.. this greatly de-mystified ODD time signatures.
Now Im enlightened ...:)
You are fffing great, you are the best. your videos rule!
You rule!
This is really helpful for piano or bass.
awesome dude learnt alot just now! cheers man!
brilliant.. checked out the wikipedia article about time signatures, and it was no good.. you, however, explained it all in a simple, understandable way :)
If you play 3+3+3+3+1, you're playing a part of Genesis's Firth of Fifth piano solo. The exact part, is rhythmed exactly like that.
It's a brilliant piece.
great explanation! understandable and interesting thanks
Man! You should consider teaching quantum physics at the University! Everyone is gonna be a great Physicist after learning from you! Great Teacher!
good hands. This video helped BIG time Thank you.
Great lesson, thanks.
so ive ben trying to figure out this groove ive been playing in a bridge... i knew it had a wierd feel.. and i knew it was some metric modulation cause the bass is still going in 4/4 they eventually match up... so the break is the 7 and 6 grouped 13/8... thanks man
holy sweet jesus this is an excellent lesson
this is great! your a great teacher, i'm sure u kick ass at drums. greatvideo man
