@@xDecadence that is not true. While its a different drumming style it is still very sophisticated drumming. You should check out the dream playthrough to cuntcrusher. While the drums are indeed a wall of sound there are a lot of nuances in there. Greetings
@@virii.win32 yes it sounds totally like an army marching in a movie. Feels like that was the intention. I actually never even considered it could be a guitar. Thought it was just production.
He actually does that a lot. He also likes to include paradiddles into his playing quite a bit and the way he splits it up between feet and hands. It also doesn't hurt to be a fucking drum machine. Man, i can listen to him play all day long.
I think he meant it in the sense that you get a super high number (180) when you multiply it by 4 to reach a number that's divisible by 4. So you have to run through all of 180 16th-notes of the pattern before re-aligning with the 4th-note pulse.
Part of the reason is because this 45 doesn’t feel like 44 plus an extra beat. It DOES, however, feel like 48 with 3 missing beats - which is clear from how Yogev breaks it down here.
It's so cool how you give the same beat 4 entirely different feels by just making it (4n + 1) subdivisions long under a steady 4th-note pulse. Takes a freaking 180 16th-notes for the pattern to repeat, and when they add that extra thingy at the end anyway, the whole thing is a unique run from start to finish.
@@iwillspam5985 Came here to say exactly this. Krimh is a huuuuge Mario/Gojira stan and it's reflected in that next-level cover of his. Also, he played every instrument in the cover... absolute madness.
Oh shit! awesome breakdown of this intro! I had not realized it was so complex (even though you have a way explaining it, that makes it seem simple :D ). When you can/want, you could decompose those songs: Leprous - The Sky Is Red Hacride - On The Threshold of Death Keep up the great work!
As a guitar player who has recently been exploring time signatures/rhythms, this channel is so good. Your production style, method of explanation, and everything is amazing dude.
Your ability to break down the complex in such a simple digestible way is absolutely stellar!. You knocked it out of the park once again. Glad to see you're finally getting the recognition you deserve!
Unbelievable.... The fact you can decipher that madness is truly unbelievable. The fact that you can explain it in terms that even I can understand is truly a gift! Well done! 👍🤟
Wait wtf this channel is insane!!!! Just stumbled across this song and was taken away been a looooong time since that’s happened. And now with this channel! Thank you Gojira!!!!
ikr, i'm here 3 years later still trying to understand what happens in the 2nd transition. 1st one you can see where it fits in the pulse, the 2nd one tho, changes how it sounds completly
Just randomly got to this video and subbed instantly - as a drummer this video is not only informative, but entertaining and really well shot and edited. Cheers!
I didn't know I needed this channel SO MUCH! And it's just a bless to know it by deciphering one of the hardest (and sickest) songs I've ever tried to learn from my favorite band as a drummer. I'm saving this for my life.
This is an incredible visual way of explaining something that's otherwise really confusing. The added sounds and explanations are seriously something else. Love this and I'm gonna try and learn it now :)
I've never been interested in seeing music broken down but this was pretty easy to understand and I like this song already so this was really cool to watch.
I can’t believe that after listening this song for 10+ years I finally understand what’s going on with that intro. Thank you so mucho for making this video! Subscribed 😍
OMG, I wonder how the guys in Gojira came up with a riff like that. Btw, l really liked you trying to fit triplets, quintuplets and sextuplets in this pattern and even if that sounded a little bit odd in comparison with the song itself, it was really interesting to listen how those subdivisions work with each other. And I know I say that in almost every single video, but anyway, the video was awesome and thank you so much for it.
A lot of their crazy patterns, like this one, come from drum exercises that Mario does. The intro to Pray and the crazy part in In The Forest also came from drum exercises. On Mario's Instagram, he described the pattern in this exercise: "A lot of people have asked me to explain the pattern of « The Art of Dying ». Every group of notes starts with a different foot. RLR LRL RLR LR RL LR•RLR LRL RLR LR RL•LRL RLR LRL RL LR RL•LRL RLR LRL RL LR• 140 bpm" So yeah, not only does he play it seamlessly, he's literally alternating the foot that he leads each phrase with. Mindblowing stuff.
Amazing video. Thank you so much it's been years I've wondered about the beats on this song but I have no formal knowledge of music so it's just been a haze of magic until now! Still magical
OMFG, thank you so much ! My brain hurts when I was trying to understand this riff all by myself. It makes sense now and it's a LOT more clearer ! Great job, great analysis and excellent video ! :)
I'm dumbfounded. I've tried to wrap my head around that line for years. Your visualization made it super easy to understand and play. Like, it's hardly an inconvenience now.
Yes man, the polyrhythmic tree is bearing fruit and it is time to start charging for all this great work that you do. congratulations on the patreon and successes for the future!
yogev: * plays the rhythm in quintuplets * me: oh this sounds somewhat like a normal rhythm, nice! yogev: as you can see this sounds really bad me: me: oh...
I always felt it would have been more natural after he switches to the cymbal from the ride that the kicks were constant 16ths like the guitar, but keeping the snare pattern to make it sound more rolling, rather than breaking it up everytime you don't hear the kicks under the 16ths of the guitar. Still my favourite Gorjia song.
This is BY FAR the best video on studying this song far on the internet! Btw, hearing it with your finger pointing out the signature patterns... ASMRish

That’s cool and all, but what does Corey Taylor think about this??
Boom I am the 666 like.
*plays quintuplets version*
Me: Wow that's so cool!
Him: That sounds pretty bad.
Me: That sounds SO bad.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I think the sextuplets version is somehow worse
It gives the rhythm a real oom pa pa feel. Up down up down, sounds like circus music to me. Triplets is too rushed.
I think it sounds pretty "flat"...
It did sound pretty bad though haha
this is the only video that has ever explained mario's octopus drumming in any understandable way
What about it is octopus haha? He uses 4 limbs, no more :P
Octopus? Don't get me wrong he's amazing but he's no Danny Carey.
"octopus drumming" IS the understandable way for me :(
@@Fitz1993 hmmm, fair point, how about "machine gun" drumming instead?
@@Fitz1993 ah, the eternal debate between TOOL and Gojira.
3:19 he's actually not counting how many hits there are. He's counting out how many arms you'll need in order to play this song correctly
hahahahahaahaa
Double that in arms and legs, and you can almost play Infant Annihilator

I have nothing but huge respect for this guy. Imparting so much of knowledge with so much of hard work and a classy production!!
Man THANKS!
The “muted guitar part” sounds like a clock ticking
I always thought it sounded like windshield wipers haha
Thought it was people marching
a clock with bass cord lool
It makes sense regarding the meaning of the song. I mean, he does say “driven by clockwork” when the lyrics kick in
@@virii.win32 yes it sounds totally like an army marching in a movie. Feels like that was the intention.
I actually never even considered it could be a guitar. Thought it was just production.
Finally, now I can listen to this track and tap my finger along in correct time.
i cant XD
Im dead
I feel that lmao
Let's be honest. No you can't.
I’ve seen this video hundreds of times and still can’t wtf
HO LEE SHEET.
I've listened to this song so many times, but seeing how it all comes together speaks so much to Mario's skill. What a machine!
It’s not just actually keeping time, it’s coordinating something like this but also coming up with it in the first place. It’s insane.
Mario basically considers himself a composer, he talks about it in some interviews and his writing process
Isn't it HOE LEE ?
this is an incredibly easy-to-digest explanation of this intro, and it's still confusing. God bless Gojira
I like Mario’s drumming but i hate how he makes me feel stupid
Ikr 😂
It’s an abusive relationship.
Fuck you Mariooo!!! 😭💓
Danny Carey from TOOL, as well
What a closure of 10 years of confusion... Genius!
מי מלך? אתה מלך עומר. אתה.
@@YogevGabay לא אתה מלך, אתה!
So the rhythm is actually surprisingly consistent… Just the same pattern played in different ways… Awesome breakdown!
The kick/snare pattern falls behind the bell (quarter beat) by 3/16ths of a note per loop.
It's quite a simple rhythm. Just played at a very challenging pace.
He actually does that a lot. He also likes to include paradiddles into his playing quite a bit and the way he splits it up between feet and hands. It also doesn't hurt to be a fucking drum machine. Man, i can listen to him play all day long.
Never in my life would i imagine watching King Radovid the Stern explaining a Gojira song
KING RADOVID IS DEAD AND YOU KNOW IT.
@@YogevGabay coughdopplercough
I knew he looked familiar
The only guy who takes TAOD intro and wonders what what it would sound like with MORE polyrhythms. Fucking subbed
Legit never seen this guy before and subbed before it was over
Been drumming for around 13 years, guitarist for 20+ and this is the most simple way I've ever seen theory discussed. Very well done sir.
What a mess this would be in standard notation.

"45 is nowhere close to being divided by four"
44: BRRUH
I think he meant it in the sense that you get a super high number (180) when you multiply it by 4 to reach a number that's divisible by 4. So you have to run through all of 180 16th-notes of the pattern before re-aligning with the 4th-note pulse.

46 is closer to being divisible by 4 than 45 is, even though 45 is one off from 44. In fact, n and n+1 are always coprime
This is good maffs
This video is still somehow shorter than the song itself.
This is next level man, better than the online college classes lol
Dude, this is the breakdown (pun intended) that Gojira fans have been waiting for, myself included.
Thank you for this!
God your channel really is one of the best things out there. Thank you for finally decoding after years of listening, all your videos are incredible.
Glad you enjoy it!
That intro makes me go to the limits of the abyss of the death. Mario Duplantier is something else on drums
Agreed.
It's so cool how you give the same beat 4 entirely different feels by just making it (4n + 1) subdivisions long under a steady 4th-note pulse. Takes a freaking 180 16th-notes for the pattern to repeat, and when they add that extra thingy at the end anyway, the whole thing is a unique run from start to finish.
Killer riff no question !
What a brilliant method of visually explaining rhythm. So creative, so intuitive. Awesome stuff.
I always heard the steady pulse instrument in the intro as something like a flammed tom rim hit
this
It is actually 2 pieces of bamboo... plus 2 things more that you can see in KRIMH's cover
@@iwillspam5985 Came here to say exactly this. Krimh is a huuuuge Mario/Gojira stan and it's reflected in that next-level cover of his. Also, he played every instrument in the cover... absolute madness.
Seriously?
Oh shot that cover is gold
I may start using colorful circles to learn to count time and rhythm. Watching you videos is making me really step up my guitar practice
Man I'm super happy to read this!
I can't believe I had to wait 10 years to actually kinda understand what's happening there, thank you so much
The Mr bean meme made me spit my beer eveywhere
HAHAHAHAHA success
Same! I actually laughed out loud! LEGEND! haha
I've been wondering about this for years. I thought it was through-composed.
This makes me want to learn to drum... Just boggles my mind how someone can come up with such a thing. Subscribed!
Oh shit! awesome breakdown of this intro! I had not realized it was so complex (even though you have a way explaining it, that makes it seem simple :D ).
When you can/want, you could decompose those songs:
Leprous - The Sky Is Red
Hacride - On The Threshold of Death
Keep up the great work!
Thanks man! Will listen!
Progressive Metal:
- Open Guitar Pro
- Write riff with random length
- Select the very first note
- Hold down "C" for a few minutes
:P
hahahahahhahaha can't say I never did that
There's another way?

You're a great teacher. Your visuals are on point and entertaining. Good job !
And Mario said he plays this pattern alternating feet. Every group of notes starts with a different foot!! CRAZY!!!
Oh my god, I finally understand the rhythm behind it. I've been listening to this song so much and was never able to comprehend it till now. Thank you
