This has the energy of 2012 RUclips

Observations:

[@dragonrings14]

For those who still don't understand time signatures, the top number indicates the number of beats in a bar and the bottom number indicates the length or emphasis of the beat. So although something like 7/4 might seem terrifying, it really just means there are 7 crotchets (quarter notes) in a bar. Sometimes a composer will pick a combo of simpler time signatures to help the player understand the emphasis better. Say the 7/4 bar was actually just a 4/4 followed by a 3/4 repeated. You might write it in 4/4 3/4 or in 7/4 with accents or other notiation so the player knows your intention. But with all music there really isn't any true rules. As long as you can convey to the player how it needs to be done, you can use any markings you see fit.

a wizard who is trying to teach you drums but also wants you to buy a knife.

Usually wizards don’t have 2 wands, he must be powerful

[@kingmob2615]

Drink, skate, wear wizard hats, advertise for knives, and teach people how to play the drums. You seem like a fun fella.

[@catsjacinto]

This video is a godsend! Nevermind me leaving these timestamps here for future reference.

Massive props for the NIN shoutout. Trent writes a lot of his music in odd time signatures and people often don't notice because he uses so many sound layers.

A wise man said once - "if you stop counting like a dumb nerd, everything is in 4/4"

[@Dwaynesjohnson]

The fact that you got through an entire demonstration of time signatures without a single tool song is very impressive

[@oldguy9078]

I have a story I would like to share. I played drums in a cover band all through high school and when it came time to go to college I said ok I will major in music. The first day of music theory I knew it was a bad decision. I could not read music and had not a clue. I took drums and I thought ok I can do this. Again I could not read music the band director gave us sheet music for drums the first day. There was only one other student in the class besides me. I always let him play first and just repeated what I heard him play. It did not take long to change majors. I was the type of drummer I could listen to a song and repeat what I heard I was ok but not like you man. Enjoyed your video you are very knowledgable and a great drummer.

[@SpiderCat420]

man I am stoned and was thinking about time signatures, realized I wasn't 100% on the concept, so off to the internet I went and so many other vids literally just spent 10 minutes talking about it with ZERO examples; finally I find your vid and you come thru with actual examples from music. My man!!! My absolute guy!!! Thank you!!!

I've been saying Punk Rock is just Polka for years. So nice to hear someone else gets it.

[@tolsen8212]

This guy seems like a prog rock nerd who wouldn't be out of place in the 70s. I like him.

[@man.of.many.pockets]

8/8 and 16/16 is useful for understanding changing time signatures in certain songs. Dance of eternity has a section with changing 16 times with the odd bar of 16/16 because its easier to digest in that context rather than seeing 4/4 written between a bar of 11/16 and 13/16.

[@medjedradio]

Really enjoy this video! While watching I realized a lot of Mother 3's music has drum beats with more uncommon time signatures, which is why it can be difficult to combo in-game. 13/16 has captivated me completely.

[@adormec.1762]

I never imagined Hogwarts teaches music now.

[@dinonuggies5551]

this dude seems like the chill upperclassmen that helps all the freshmen during marching season

[@dcim4803]

Still dont get it
