    If you are new to programming drums, much hip hop style beats (also in this video) are played with a 16th shuffle. Don't expect your loops to be as groovy without being aware of it. A 16th shuffle means that every second 16th note is played a little bit "too late". In the grid he is showing that is every note with a "+". If you count the 16th notes in a 4/4 bar it is every 16th with an even number. Select all these notes in your DAW and drag them just a little bit to the right until the shuffle feels right.

      Actually it's a bit confusing because he's representing the patterns as 2 measures with 8th note denominations when it's really what you're saying with 1 measure with 16th note denominations

    swing and slide are the most important for getting a good feel to a beat. Sometimes delaying the high hats by about 5-15 ms can make a big difference. Another trick is to just slide the kicks a bit early. When compared to a square beat where everything is exactly on time you will notice a nice difference.

      It's more of a western thing to view music in a more linear fashion from my understanding. A lot of more rhythmic percussion based music particularly from South America & the Caribbean if i recall correct has the cycle-based way of viewing music as more common both in how it's often written/read and in just how they mentally visualise/think of/explain the music.
      Also if anyone's interested in seeing any more examples of the circle based diagram way of learning drum rhythms, then the channel 'Drumset Fundamentals' is good for me with their series of drum grooves with just the drums paired with the diagram and a light that moves with the music across the circle so you know which part of the diagram is playing at which point. I'm not a drummer but as someone who programs drums usually in a DAW, it does give me a more intrinsic understanding of the rhythms and the constructions of rhythms like Four to the Floor, the Bossa Nova rhythm, Bo Diddley beat, etc.

    • @marleen512
      @marleen512 5 лет назад +7

      I don't hate the circular visualization to just look at it, but playing music to it would be so much harder than linear tabs or sheet music. I rely on the height of an element so much for fast recognition and processing, while with the circle, my eyes zip back and forth and up and down in all the directions all the time. (I play drums)

    • @Scripture-Man
      @Scripture-Man 5 лет назад +7

      I don't like the circular way of looking at it. As a musician, I see that as constrictive. It suggests that your music is locked into a repetitive loop. I try to avoid repetition in my music.

    Thanks. Though it seems to me you are confusing 8th notes with 16th notes. You suggest counting to 4 twice (1+2+3+4+1+2+3+4+). But with the drum patterns that really is one single measure in 4/4 => 1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a

    One important thing i wish he mentioned is that the the realization that a snare in the 3rd beat is what grounds the feel for all of those rythms and is what trully opens space for displacement in the kick, hats, claves and whatever else you may have.

      Why do you assume the numbers represent quarter notes or 8th notes or have anything to do with musical notation? They're just numbers representing parts of the rhythm. It seems pretty logical to me. What I don't understand is the point of the video.

    I also created circular rhythm pattern charts, for describing song forms and arragements, similar idea to these drum diagrams. I called mine 'form wheels' and used for compositional analysis. Published at a conference and everyone (non musicians) enjoyed it as a way of better understanding their favorite music. Academics scoffed at the diagrams saying they had no purpose, which figures (academics are soooo out of touch with reality). The diagrams are very helpful for visually presenting music in an immediately digestible way.

      I am interested in the subject because I would love to learn to program drumbeats better, but I’m halfway through the second example (“rock”) and it is breaking my brain how profoundly wrong these counts are. I appreciate the time that went into creating this video, but it goes against everything I have ever learned, felt, and known about playing, listening to, and counting music. The back beat ALWAYS falls on 2 and 4, never on 3 as this video claims. It’s foundational: 1 e & a TWO e & a 3 e & a FOUR e & a. Do other people count the back beat on 3? Is that a thing? Or is this finally exposing why some people can’t seem to ever learn to clap along to rock and soul and why so many programmed beats sound square?

      I'm totally against the idea of rotating by 11 degrees. The first beat hits at a completely vertical position, like how the first moment of a day hits at the completely vertical position of a clock.

      probably because Amen Break is like 4 bars long IIRC and is chopped up and re-arranged quite often so isn't strictly known for a specific one bar section of the break that could be represented on one circle on here. It'd take them 4 circles, lol.

      To me it looks like each field represents a 16th note instead of an 8th note. He just wrote the numbers as if he is counting 8th. It'd be better to write it as 1e+a2e+a... Instead of two times 1+2+3+4+.

      Something about the symmetry is nice, and that does match the vowel sound, but it's not as easy to type.

    Man thank alot. There is a mistake at "THE LEVEE BREAK" i think. The seccond double kick's seccond one can not be heard. Maybe the seccond kick's sound is very low maybe i am wrong but i couldn't hear. And also snares has very low volume but i can hear them.
