Another subject you could cover that I don't think anyone else has in English, is the relationship between rhythm and melody in middle eastern rhythms. For example, I also play the flute and the Ney (or try to play the Ney :D) and I would like to create complete tracks, ambient music and things like this. But I have no idea how a melody should sound in 5/8 or 10/8 or whatever.
That’s a great topic, Dan. The connection between melody and rhythm is a deep one, lots of great information to show and discuss. I will absolutely make a video discussing this; I have a couple more to get through first, and then I will work on that one. Thanks so much for the idea!
Very nice tutorial! I also play the frame drum and make tutorials in Romanian, though I'm still learning myself. This is exactly the sort of thing I need, to start playing variations and grooves that will sound musical and not just plain rhythms. I've learned to create variations, but sometimes I can only find a limited amount of them, and don't yet know how to make it sound really really good. I can see that not many people follow or appreciate such lessons but this is the kind of thing you learn in premium courses or private lessons. Btw, I do have a question - I see that you divide the rhythm in 3 + 3 + 2, but if someone uses a metronome, it will usually be set to beat 8 times per cycle like in a 4/4 rhythm, even though this is a 2/4 rhythm right? If you divide it in groupings of 3, doesn't that mess with your head? Thanks and good luck with the channel!
Hi Dan, thanks so much for your comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and are getting some good ideas from it. I agree: not very many people follow the channel, but I am always hopeful that will change and I can engage a larger audience with quality percussion videos. And, you raise a very important question: it's true that I divide the subdivisions of the rhythm into groupings of 3 + 3 + 2, but since this is a 2/4 rhythm, you can (and should) feel the rhythmic pulse beneath it in even pulses of 2, 4, or 8...it all depends on how you group the subdivisions. You've given me a great idea for a new video where I can discuss some different methods to approach a rhythm like this, and learn some different strategies on how to feel the pulse while creating the groupings of subdivision in such a way to give the rhythm a nice syncopation, without messing with your head! Thank you for such a great question! If you are interested in helping me grow this channel, please consider sharing the video. And keep the comments coming, I get a lot of inspiration from drummers all over the world through the comments, and I'm more than happy to share knowledge to help other drummers grow on their instrument. Thanks again for your support and your great question, happy drumming my friend!
