Polyrhythmic Juggling (with Paul Davids)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июн 2019
- Paul Davids and I worked out how to juggle egg shakers polyrhythmically at Thomann's Gearhead University #tgu19. It turns out that #polyrhythms, when juggled, reveal a lot about coordination and rhythm.
Plus, it's a fun meme game. Go play it! If you do, film you and a friend juggling polyrhythms, upload it to the ol' instagram and tag me at its_adamneely, I'll be reposting them on my story.
Paul David's kickass channel...
• TOP 4 pedals for start...
Thanks to Thomann and all of the sponsors of Gearhead University for making this dumb little game possible. Next year I'll play some of your gear, I swear!

Oh I became one of the cool kids... super enjoyed learning how to do this. Bach will be rolling in his grave though.
Adam Neely actually made the video. These weren't just empty threats.
AWESOME video.
I was so happy to see you in the video! Where's the collab?
I think you mean *EGGCELENT* video
1 week ago I posted to Adam Neely... Interesting You call yourself A 'Polyrhythm Geek' How about VARIATIONS on the Polyrhythm Notes played with RESTS etc. The Polyrhythm timing stays the same even though the notes are removed, and the variations in the polyrhythms make it MORE Musical and a lot more interesting. posted 26th June 2019. 2nd entry posted on 5th July 2019
legendarische samenwerking
So who's idea was this??? which one of you thought about this :D. Love the backing tracks that go behind it to give you the feelings of those relationships
In the music corps where I did my military service, two of the drummers figured out that the warning bells at the railway crossing was chiming an 11:12 polyrhythm, and decided to learn to play it on snare. It was a very, very annoying week or two in the barracks we all shared, but they did it.
why did I click that time stamp

Girl on the dance floor: so you got any moves?
Adam Neely: yea check out this polyrhythmic juggling

Is that girl Mary?
Thats actually gonna be a threesome...
😂
@@jan_Travis Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be..
Drummers and their respective bassists should do this together!
Or the entire band. You could try doing 4:5:6.
May not be possible because of something that I haven’t considered yet hahahah

11:56 the duck sees you juggling real eggs and gets super offended.
I can't wait for someone to do a 7:11 juggling polyrhythm in front of a 7/11
They better do it with 7 people and 11 egg shakers.
@FacePomaranate Bruh I can't even begin to math or visualize this
@Andy Young I wish I could give your reply multiple likes.

@@justincarrasco3680 Wax on and wax off!
Funny how he turned "goddamn" into "bread and" yet when it comes to Gibson all bets are off lol :D
Bold of you to assume that I have friends to practice with.
relatable
Since when was a lack of friends considered an insult?
Yeah, life sucks.
Unfortunately, that's the real truth about this.
It seems like a great way to learn polyrhythms, but no friends, no learning...
Back from the wilderness i see.
Its good and I like this comment, but you don't have to be friends with anyone to practice this. Just throw the shakers at random people you will get interesting rythmic results for sure and some people will have seen this video and become your friend anyway after you hit them with the egg. Or you can do it solo using each hand as a "friend" and performing at half speed.. Which one of my suggestions is serious? My friend will tell you.
"to get started with this you first need to visualize the polyrhythmic juggle"
Uh false. You first need to find a friend nerdy enough to try this nonsense.
I was thinking “you couldn’t do 3:4:5, after all you’d need three hands” but then I thought that if you had three people in a triangle, you could have person 1 do a 3:4, p2 a 4:5, and p3 do a 5:3, building a 3:4:5 out of its component parts.
That would be hard though, I don’t think I could do it.
I want to see this now
This
...and then speed up the polyrhythm several hundred times to make a second inversion major chord because that's what Adam would want us to do.
Actual jugglers could possibly do this with siteswaps. :)
I had the same idea Beaumains1 (e.g., ruclips.net/video/WKV4EYV_UBY/видео.html)...and why stop at 3 people,? 4 people, N-people polyrhythmic juggling
This is as amazing as it is stupid. A perfect meme, love it!
Who would even think it's stupid? This is genius and if i were a music teacher at a middle school or more(which I'm not and never will be) I'd use it to teach students polyrhythms while also helping them bond together, increasing their social and musical skills at the same time, this is simply great!
@@iota-09 yeah, juggling was always great mate :)
Lol, I love the repeated "Polyrhythmic Juggling Baby". Repetition legitimizes! Repetition legitimizes! Repetition legitimizes!
Great one
Yeah
The new Philip Glass?
“Gibson is a comic book villain at this point” haha, nice one.
But why?
@@Coemgen86 they're suing people for "copying" their original designs basically
I have two friends I met when studying physics who used to juggle with Rubik's cubes with one another and solve them by doing one step of a sequence each.
God, I love nerds.
When you think you're nerdy and then meet people like this.
I think this might be the most Adam Neely video you've made to date
I'm going to listen to this at 5x speed and 3x speed at the same time...Polyrhythmic Polyrhthmic Juggling

do you just.... calculate the LICC?
I think you calculated the LICC!
i was looking for this comment, how the hell did not more people notice it??
As a german it somehow made me happy that you pronounced thomann right. This may be the most german thing I've ever said
He made the o vowel a slight diphthong/vowel glide, so while overall closer than 99.994% of Anglo-Saxon native speakers, still not 100% correct... right?
Adam also pronounce Bach better than all other Anglo-Saxon speaker I heard
It's more a short a than an thomaaaan
No one :
Not a single musician :
Adam Neely : polyrhythmic juggling
Baby!
5: 4
Bad meme
If it’s so stupid to you then why did you click on it
@@jessechalif2428 I'm pretty sure he's talking about the comment. You don't have to click on a comment to read it.
I like that every single one of your videos has a particular structure where you dive head first into a subject and slowly draw it back and relate it to a bigger picture.The editing with all the subtle sound effects and background music really helps in making this a professional production.
The sounds, the bounce, the dropping of the eggs, and the laughs all make this look and feel exactly like an interaction from the Sims 10:21
Now, is the sims mimicking real life, or real life mimicking the sims?
Hahaha I'm dead at this comment
Me: "I don't know what to do with my life anymore, I feel stuck in a rut."
Adam: "Polyrhythmic juggling, baby."
Hey,your comment sounds like you might not be having the best of times.I know it might be just a joke but if you need someone to talk to my DM's are open. :)
@@_abhirupdutta_ Haha, it really was a joke, but I appreciate your offer, that's really nice.
man, that beat is sick
Three against two
four against five
Now for my daily dose of music theory mumbo jumbo
same!!
Adam being an excited boi is the best part of my day
if he says "polyrhythmic juggling baby" one more time i swear
I'm a professional juggler and a big fan of your videos and would be thrilled to collaborate with you on this if it's something you wanted to explore further.
Yesyesyesyes!!! We must make polyrhythmic juggling a THING
“It’s never like we need another musician present to perform a rhythm.” Adam just discovered the wonders of marching bass drums :)
"it's never like we need another musician present to play a rhythm"
I would like to welcome you to the marching bass drum line
Facts!
Hey Adam, neat video!
You may be interested to know that many hobbyist and professional jugglers use a system called "siteswap", which describes different throws according to the number of "counts" that a ball will spend in the air (e.g. a juggler can throw a "3", which will spend 3 counts in the air). These counts are second nature to many experienced jugglers.
You should totally recruit some jugglers to see if they can incorporate polyrhythms into their passing patterns.
I'm very displeased at RUclips not having a tool to accurately express how thoroughly I loved this!
Absolutely no one:
Adam Neely: "POLYRHYTHMIC JUGGLING BABY!"
Can you make the "polyrhythm song" at the start of your video available somewhere, anywhere? It's really cool and I would love to listen to it more
ruclips.net/video/5Zp3hwKdj0M/видео.html just made one, it's just too good for me to pass on
Re: engagement with others
Look into handbell choirs and bass drum lines. They use a similar connection when it comes to needing others to complete a rhythm
I think this is an eggscellent video! But omelette you decide for yourself... ;)
Have you always benedict?
@@fudgesauce I think his brain is just scrambled
Or rather, fried
Rene Bon Ciric These are some lovely yokes! Really cracking me up! But too many puns and I'll get shell shock. Sorry if I seem chicken.
but can you juggle 21 against 22
thomann : we're gonna invite youtubers to a big party so they can make vlogs about it and promote our stuff
adam neely: im gonna juggle some eggs
12:57 - agree about Gibson!
This looks like a great drill for a workshop!
I love the polyrhythmic audio bed - very cool!
Why is Gibson bad? :)
I'm out of the loop. What's going on with Gibson?
@@B33Jus gibson is (basically) suing dean for "copying" their original guitar designs
You were so close to treating the sponsors seriously this time :D
"We're getting real eggs this time."
*Immediately drops it*
Went precisely the way I thought it would :)
It´s so nice to see all of the RUclips Music Community colaborate this much. I love both of your channels and this concept was again very interesting. Keep it up
7:31 lmao that couple in the background just stares and then looks at each other
Paul and Adam normally using skype...
Paul: "I have an excellent idea..."
ADAM: aN eGgCelLenT iDEa ?
Could there be a longer version of this amazing electro beat? (Including voice-over)? I would love to listen to it at all times ever.
henk jibbe me too

Bump. We need this.
Love both of your channels. Seeing this collaboration video was awesome.
The kind of video that takes a lot of practise, before being published. You're dedication is so much appreciated, and so enjoyable!
I really want to see professional jugglers try this with multiple shakers.
Look up Siteswap Passing Juggling. It's the universe of music nerds and polyrythm nerds, but for jugglers.
Check out Michael Moschen. Pretty much just 3 on 2 but quite mesmerizing.
@@MattMusicianX Oh yes, very nice fellow, saw him at EJC 2014 doing conferences and shows, incredible juggler and polyrhythmic nerd!
I don't play an instrument, nor do I have any background in music whatsoever. But I still thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, Adam.
Keep it up!
You can laugh all you want about the silliness of this whole thing, but holy crap that's an amazing and super accessible exercise for people who are easily intimidated by the math-ness of polyrythms and music in general. I love when people turn possibly dense things into games.
Also, the hippity-hoppity you guys were doing was the cutest thing. A+
Oh, Adam, your videos are all so mind blowing, so inspiring, challenging, inviting, amusing!!! You are quite the guy we all need!!! Thanks and don't stop blowing our minds off! (Hi from Greece...!)
7:15 The couple in the background look so confused XD
That synchronized look at each other
"Yeah, got no clue either"
Imagine them sitting there trying to figure out what they were doing
Looool
I’ve been hoping for a video teaching us how to play the common polyrhythms for ages! And now I can also juggle. Thank you you maniac! 🤹🏻♂️🤹🏼♂️
I’m not gonna lie adam, I have been watching your videos for quite some time, and they have made me a far better musician, composer, and percussionist. Thanks!
Two of my favourite RUclipsrs in one video! Was so surprised and pleased to see Paul Davids in this video.
Awesome! Thx Mr Neely. BTW kathak dancers use a rhythmical language called konnakol, the same language tabla players use - thought you might find this interesting.
"One of those hand games you play in middle school"
Ok
my favorite video in your channel, laughed a lot
Great, original content. I love it. Thanks for playing tunes with the same polyrhythms in the background too.
1800s: waltz
2010s: twerking
2020s: dual egg shaker polyrythm dance
just you wait
Whenever I hear 2:3 polyrhythms I think of carol of the bells
Finallyyyy a new video! I've been waiting for so long for this ^^
I need this song. Beautiful work as always.
This is the nerdiest thing I have ever seen and I love it.
You were in Leipzig? What the hell, that's where I live. This is amazing😂
I love literally every video you make, Adam! I'm definitely gonna use this idea as an exercise for my class
This video was so entertaining. You and Paul make a great team!
Everytime I start to think I can predict and adam neely video
If I saw this happening in a hotel hallway I'd walk back to my room.
This should go into band practices. Since I will never convince my band, I now HAVE TO start a side project. Seriously a very cool idea how to internalize rythm and how to interact musically.
Adam, you are an absolute genius. Your takes on theory and general tips and tricks have helped me so much as a musician.
please please please post the polyrhythmic song separately, I HAVE to dance to that and I wanna loop it
ruclips.net/video/5Zp3hwKdj0M/видео.html just made one, it's just too good for me to pass on
reading the title broke my brain
Quite stellar quality. Excellent work.
while not actually juggling, I loved the video (I juggle better than I can play instruments) - keep it up Adam & Paul... You two always do great stuff.
Omg the song from begining s l a p s. Going to make it my alarm, we’ll see how it turns out lol
I've never hated anyone so much since the 99:100 Shawn Crowder did.
Adam, you are so great! Thanks for the new treat, man!!)
While I still barely comprehend rhythm and will be spending forever figuring out how to actually apply this, Just the first 185 seconds of this video have made poly rhythms so much easier to unpack. Seriously Adam, never stop doing what you are doing. You've taken music theory from a nuclear sized headache to a brain freeze
New challenge:
7:11 polyrhythm outside a 7 eleven, on July the 11th at 7:11AM.
Go for it
Awesome awesome !! 🙌
Why do you only have 3 likes
I found your channel a few months ago, and have been thoroughly enjoying watching your fantastic content ever since.
Interesting what you mentioned about choreography. I've been taking dance classes for a long time, and know that some dancers like to "feel" the beat while others are constantly counting in their heads as they dance. Just like in polyrhythmic juggling, the more complicated the choreography gets, the more chance that dancers will have to actually count out the beats, at least while learning the dance.
Adam you are truly inspirational. Writers block for months and you've defo kickstarted something with this.
I know it has been said many times, but I want to thank you for pronouncing surname of Johan Sebastian properly.
*Johann :D

Adam: P O L Y R H Y T H M I C J U G G L I N
Mary really feels the rhythm. It looks like she's actually dancing and enjoying it. That's awesome. Incredible video as always man, glad to have you back!
Possibly the greatest video on RUclips. Just possibly. Just SAYING, okay? But. Seriously. Love this so much. We should all work on these kinds of games with our own people.
Thanks! I am going to use this activity in my General Music classes (granted they are 7th graders, so will most likely stick with 3:2 and 4:3 😉)
I actually mentioned exactly this in another comment, this would be so good.
...just make sure the kids don't rage if they can't get it right, you do that, and it (hopefully) shall be a success.
It seriously would have helped me a lot in middle school.
Is the ACTUAL background song available as a standalone? On spotify or something? :D
Glad you're back. Always look forward to your uploads!
dude your editing is way too cool
You should look up siteswap notation. It has a lot of overlap with rhythm/polyrhythm.
tap dancing often sounds & looks to me like physicalized polyrhythm. Do you have a favorite Fred Astaire clip to analyze?
It is, I just never thought of it that way. As a musician predominantly and a dancer second, I never transferred my knowledge of rhythm over to dance. I just kind of did it. However, I learned a lot about stage presence, choreography, and costuming through dance and have utilized that.
Is there really a difference between playing a drum with your hands vs the floor with your feet?
I do House dance and I often like do 2:3 and 3:4 polyrhythm with my feet. I hop on one foot to the regular beat of the music and tap the other foot on the toe to a different rhythm to form the polyrhythm
Don't know why I didn't see this video earlier, but it just popped up now. Anyway, this is actually great! I like it!!
Your reference to White Christmas was great! I’ve been binging the music from that movie lately.
