I play guitar, definitely not drums. You break down rhythm into a visual science! Helps me understand what I'm trying to write. Thanks for all the great content!
Ex extreme metal/mathcore vocalist here. Love polyrhythms and polymeter in music. I came from a metal background but through your channel and others I am building my playlist of contemporary jazz and world music, all with technical and progressive styles. Thanks for making these videos, mate!
I agree, cool journey. I myself am a metal drummer with a fascination for prog, but through youtubers like Adam Neely, Andrew Huang and of course Yogev my interest has really expanded.
Since you asked: I 'learned' to play the Glockenspiel, but never understood the music theory behind it. Probably I didn't care about the music they used to teach children. By the age of 18 I picked up the guitar and emulated my favorite metal bands. It wasn't always pleasant but I got pretty good at it by now. In parallel I got introduced to (software) synths and sequencers, in order to create backing tracks for myself. Today I love experimenting with all kinds of synths, everything that could be turned into a MIDI controller and take influences from 80s/90s chiptune music. Eventually I got into more acoustic guitar music and forced myself to learn chords. By then I had developed a good feeling for the minor / phrygian scales and suddenly music theory started to make sense. I'm still having minor revelations occasionally, although I'm far from being a Jazz musician. Now I'm here. 4/4 and 4/4 triplets still works best for me, but I love polyrhythmic and you're explaining it in a very digestible fashion. Very much appreciate what you're doing, even if it's going to take a few years more until I start playing in odd meters ;)
I saw your videos before picking up drums (which i did during the pandemic) but the decision to become a drummer and my enjoyment of this content are mutually exclusive. Most of the music i play is modern rock and country, which of course both lean heavily on the 4-on-the-floor sound. These videos are just so engaging that i watch them knowing full well that I'll never be able to play anything like the stuff you talk about 😆
yeah! love your videos glad you started again! Im French guitar and oud player and I find your pedagogy is the best for rhythm! Keep doing and thanks a lot for your time
it took me a few bars to get the Snoop rhythm but I took the 8th note pulse from the keyboards and found the groove from there. cheers and welcome back
eyo my man you and meshuggah but mostly you awakened my obsession with polyrithms and i thank you with my entire heart (: also, got the pulse first try
I am an electronic music performer - and non-drummer - working on integrating all sorts of polyrhythmic stuff into live performance. Your channel has actually helped me visualise several key problems in my rig, and I'm now pretty comfortable in doing all sorts of stuff, like big polymeter chains and downright weirdly divided stuff live. So... thank you from Denmark ;)
Guitar/bass far from pro, subbed because of your how to Meshuggah stuff because I needed the answer HOW. Your Konnakol vid is one of my favourites! And your breaking down of weird time signatures helped a lot in the way how I now write (in tabs unfortunately, never had music education) my stuff trowing something weird here and there fro the spice. And yeah hip-hop deserves to dive in sometimes, cause mostly drums are made on different samplers and drum-machines with "vibe" and "groove" and weird stuff pops up sometimes
I've played guitar for 32 years, preferring rhythm to lead. About 25 years ago, I agreed to fill in on bass, and the drummer said he was able to lock in with me much easier than with other bassists. Over time, bass interested me more and more, and I learned how ,to think about music like a bass player. Now, I don't know if I'm more of a bassist who plays guitar or a guitarist who plays bass. But I've always had more of a rhythmic than a melodic approach.
bassist, drummer and vox here. for some reason this snoop dog clip melted my brain more than meshuggah songs. Love your content, so happy that you make these videos! :) Definitely makes it easier to understand complex musics
I'm a guitarist, I love metal even though my band play mostly pop and rock songs. When I first knew Meshuggah my love for polyrhythm is skyrocketing. Your channel is the best one explaining the concept. I learn so much here. Glad you're back making videos again.
Singer here. I watch because I'm looking to get more intimate with my rhythm. Your channel is great for introducing new and often complex concepts in a way that can be easily digested by the layman! Thank you for your hard work. Keep it up!
Guitarist/vocalist here and have always had an obsession with polyrhythm and polymeter. I've been enjoying your content for over a year now and am glad you are back! \m/
Did notice you hadn't made videos in a while, but I guess life is just busy. Thanks for making this video, it reminded me of Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson (even though I prefer the Alien Ant Farm version, fight me!). Maybe this video will help me finally understand it. I love your videos and I recommend your channel to everyone who either plays drums or shows interest in Meshuggah! I am a drummer myself since my teens. I started listening to Linkin Park and RHCP, but the existence of time signatures other than 4/4 and 6/8 opened a new world to me. I listened to a lot of Dream Theater. I was inspired by them because that is the first band where I got the feeling that the drums were more than just a supportive element, but actually an instrument on their own and also how many different ways there are to write music (unlike the very common Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Chorus structure). Porcupine Tree and Karnivool came later and they also have my favourite drummers. Portnoy (sorry Mangini) inspired my drumming most as I kind of grew up with his drumming. Gavin Harrison is just a technical beast (the "best" prog drummer who doesn't even consider himself a prog drummer) and I admire Steve Judd for his out-of-the-box writing (like Caudal Lure and the end of Change)! I want to dive more into polyrythms because of the wild stuff you can do with it (just as this video demonstrates). Because of your videos, I am trying to get into Meshuggah, but I find it not very easy to listen to (think I'm more a melodic-lover), so it may take me a while! Hope you found it interesting.
Electric mandolinist here, the ways in which you conceptualise rhythm are super useful in understanding a lot of the music I listen to, but also when it comes to pieces that my band I are working on, especially for polyrhythmic sections The way you break everytihng down is super interesting and digestable. You're genuinely one of my favourite RUclipsrs to watch
Pianist primarily, although I do mess around with hand percussion. You are my favorite channel for breaking down complex rhythms in an easy to follow, visual style.
Hi Yogev! I’m a musician (plays anything) trained in percussion from Canada. I enjoy the rhythmic puzzles like that and the odd-time hemeolas. Your explanation is really sensible and easy to grasp. Thanks you for your work!
I used to play guitar, but not very well. I watch this channel because time signatures always eluded me. I couldn't understand how they work, don't work or work together. Very cool to see visual explanations and ones interpretations and how to listen for time signatures.
I'm a guitarist, bassist, extreme metal vocalist, trying back on keys and learn drums (use to mess with the drums when best buy sells instruments and love the instrument)
Cool video. Missed your vids, Pal. Oh yeah to answer youre question. I'm a Bassist heavily into the more extreme forms of metal or Hardcore. Yet Drums are probably my favorite Instrument to hear about or watch somebody play
First of all. Dope videos!!! Thank you! I am a guitarist in a math-metal duo called &therisk. And to be honest sometimes I don't really get what time signatures we are using. But I try to figure it out and your videos really do help a lot!
Not only the theory behing your videos is perfect, but the editing also matches very well your personality, been watching you for like a year, thanks for the content
I'm a music student. I'm currently in my second semester of music theory and piano. Your channel is really cool, I think rhythm is an underrated part of music theory that goes mostly unnoticed because it's felt more than heard. Your channel is helpful for understanding different approaches to rhythm.
Once I tried to listen to the "kick downbeat" instead of the "hihat downbeat" for the first one, I couldn't unhear it. It just became a sort of a ska-style flair to me which really added to the vibe of the tune. Cool stuff! Also I'm sort of a multi-instrumentalist, and funnily enough drums is not my strong suit
Glad to see you back! I'm a hobbyist guitar player and devout extreme metalhead but I love progressive music and the rhythms behind the songs which is why I love this series so much. Keep on being awesome Yogev!
Primarily a pianist, but also have been working on guitar, bass and vocals more recently - absolutely love your channel and actually found you from the Berklee performance of Tigran's Drip
Dystonia dictated I move from guitar to music production and your videos have helped me understand and implement nuances of music I'm not ashamed to say, I didn't fully understand before. Awesome work...cheers man!
im a guitarist and vocalist but I really love ur style of videos and I just love everything with weird time signatures and polyrythms and I tend to write better drum parts for tracks, when I kinda know what is happening in a drummers head. And I love ur way of explaining meshuggah beats, really understandable.
Used to play drums, then a bit of guitar, didn't dedicate myself to either so mostly a listener now. Both metal and hip hop weirdly enough, so really appreciated the snoop dogg video, loved it
I am a guitarist and a pianist ... But was trained in North Indian classical (vocals) - and sort of versed with the theory of taal/north indian classical rhythm system - only theory though, don't actually play any rhythm instruments ... Here because of my love of Hago, Tigran Hamasyan and Meshuggah ... Love your interpretations and presentations ✌️
I play guitar and sometimes some keyboard but definitely not drums. Your visual breakdown of rhythm helps me understand what I'm listening and make sense of it. Thanks a lot for all your videos.
I've played piano for a couple years but I stopped playing as much a little over a year ago. I'm also a composer and singer-songwriter that's been experimenting with different genres over the years! I love these videos, rhythms are fascinating and I definitely want to get good at them as a musician!
I don't really play anything anymore, but I learned piano in my younger days (I did dabble in drums more recently but couldn't really do anything cos i had nowhere to practice). Really I'm just here cos I love music theory (and Yogev's presentation style). Welcome back! :)
Welcome back! Hadag Nahash sound dope so I'll look into it as well as that Snoop track. Splendid work as always. Oh and if you guys want some crazy hip hop, go check out clipping. Their song "Story 2" has some extremely cool polyrhytms and they in general love experimenting with time signatures as well as noise!
Hi Fran Lovel Šimić, was surprised to see one of "Hadag Nahash" songs featured here, was thinking it will have little appeal to non-hebrew speaking audience. but if you want to get a taste of what they do (groovy stoners/political protest songs), you can also check out this song that was translated and re-recorded in English ft. Infected Mushroom. ruclips.net/video/PHbwwwoE7-s/видео.html
So cool how you also decompose interesting rhythmic ideas in Hip Hop songs. I am mostly here for the Metal videos, but all your content is pure gold! Well I wish I was a drummer, drums are my favourite instrument but I am a (very) amateur bassist and guitarist, started beatmaking last year, and sometimes find cool ideas thanks to your videos.
Yes! I guessed right! it was 4/4, also... I'm no musician so all I know is 4/4 and... it's always 4/4 As for who I am, I'm just a normal guy who likes music in general and music that surprises me or "throws me off" in particular and your channel is a great source for that.
I' m a guitarist thinkink like a drummer. And I really hear the second song in 6 First kick on one and snare on 3. Very simple if you except hi hats. It works with singing also
Hey Yogev, it's awesome to having your content again, can't wait to watch all of your new videos. Btw, I play guitar, but I love any music/music theory related content, and mainly your videos helped me to develop a wider rhythm vocabulary. It's kinda funny 'cause I remember the first time I saw you talking about rhythm, it was on a David Bruce's video about Tigran and when you explained I'd thought "I could hear this guy talking about music for hours", and fortunately almost a year later you've started Time Consuming. Anyway, it's an awesome content as always!
Not a drummer, I play handpan, guitar, didgeridoo, kashaka and a bit of frame drum. Fan of polyrythm and Tool band, that's how i found you ;) You make us discover awesome bands/artist , keep continue ! :)
I'm an amateur bass player with an interest in weird rhythms in music and how they are perceived! I love your videos because I enjoy "getting" or feeling rhythms I haven't felt before. Your visual beat demos are very helpful. Guess I love finding new grooves.
friendly neighbourhood bassist here. And synth dabbler. I'm here because I like to play everything as a percussion instrument with weird rhythmic feelings
i play bass but i used to play drums so your channel is really interesting to watch regardless. your meshuggah videos helped me out to learn them on the bass also, so thats really cool
You're back! :D I actually heard the Snoop Dogg one COMPLETELY WRONG as 6/8 for a couple of seconds before my brain caught up and locked into the 4/4... but I counted it out as 8 instead of 4... I often find it easier to count out slow beats like this in 8 instead of 4. Maybe others would do the whole "1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and" thing...
I noticed your were away for some times. I was looking for new stuff a few week back and by the way I loved the cover of Stengah with konnakol. I'm drummer mostly playing prog metal, I love finding pulse and logic in complicated rythme like you but never spend actual time writing stuff down and making things that clear. I also spend some time playing hand percussions because practicing and playing drum is not convenient for me.
Hello Yogev. I play bass and as I bassist I thought it would be nice to learn how drummers think or how drum parts are written. I can't believe how your content is free. I'm eternally grateful for your solutions on some musical puzzles I perceived as impeccable.
Hey Yogev, I play bass, got here from your Karim Ziad video. Love your work, amazing content, which makes me want to grab my bass and practice. big up from Morocco
I'm mostly a keyboard player but I dabble with bass, guitar and drums and production. I hear the Snoop beat as 4/4 with implied (but not actually played ) triplet 1/16 notes with a bar of 4 at the end of the phrase 3/3/3/3/4.
Yogev! Good to have you back. You probably don’t remember, but when we spoke a few months ago, I talked about the 11:8 thing as being an easy result of swapping 4’s with 3’s and 3’s with 2’s - so in the Snoop Doog example (and every other one billion songs that do this kind of thing) the 3+3+4+3+3 accents can easily be heard as 2+2+3+2+2 instead. Quite often I’ll hear a kick pattern from a distance and think that a simple 3+3+2 or 3+3+3+3+4 is actually a 5 or an 11, but they rarely are lol I heard that Snoop as 4/4 right away, although the off-beat hi-hats on the Israeli song did trip me up. Awesome vid as always!
I play guitar, definitely not drums. You break down rhythm into a visual science! Helps me understand what I'm trying to write. Thanks for all the great content!
Ohhhhh yes thanks !
I am a drummer, but I'm here primarily as a Meshuggah fan. Glad to have you back.
Same ^^
@Bowtothehydra Second best behind meshuggah 😉 Uneven structure too?
Honestly, the Snoop Dogg song with an alternating beat of 11/8 and 4/4 makes it groovy as hell
Love that the snoop Dogg part comes in at 4:20 🤣
That is actually SICK
totally 😂😂
Ex extreme metal/mathcore vocalist here. Love polyrhythms and polymeter in music. I came from a metal background but through your channel and others I am building my playlist of contemporary jazz and world music, all with technical and progressive styles. Thanks for making these videos, mate!

I agree, cool journey. I myself am a metal drummer with a fascination for prog, but through youtubers like Adam Neely, Andrew Huang and of course Yogev my interest has really expanded.
Yo dudes, this makes me super happy
Thanks a lot ! I'm super happy you like it!

Guitar player, jazz and metal. Your channel is just fun and informative.
i'm a jazz singer from italy and i love this channel! thx yogev!! you're a boss ;)
Thanks `donato!

Guitarist and producer here. I find your videos very entertaining and educative.
I'm an electronic musican. Totally blown away by details of your analysis and also - you are great person! :)
yeah! love your videos glad you started again! Im French guitar and oud player and I find your pedagogy is the best for rhythm! Keep doing and thanks a lot for your time
Drummer here. Really enjoy the content and perspective you provide.
Snoop Doog 😆 a couple great breakdowns, glad you're back!
it took me a few bars to get the Snoop rhythm but I took the 8th note pulse from the keyboards and found the groove from there. cheers and welcome back
Glad to have you back/here again 😉
Guitarist here, came here because I love all Tigran Hamasyan content. Stayed because content was good.
Bassist. Love your work Yogev.
eyo my man you and meshuggah but mostly you awakened my obsession with polyrithms and i thank you with my entire heart (:
also, got the pulse first try
Rock on!

Rock and metal drummer here - thanks much for the video!
Pianist/Clarinetist here, and really glad to hear you talking about an israeli classic
Love that band

Guitarist/vocalist here and have always had an obsession with polyrhythm and polymeter. I've been enjoying your content for over a year now and am glad you are back! \m/
Awesome, thank you!
I used to play bass, not anymore, but Meshuggah fan and enjoy the analysis of rythms in a pure technical way like you do with Time Signature !
Did notice you hadn't made videos in a while, but I guess life is just busy. Thanks for making this video, it reminded me of Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson (even though I prefer the Alien Ant Farm version, fight me!). Maybe this video will help me finally understand it. I love your videos and I recommend your channel to everyone who either plays drums or shows interest in Meshuggah!
I am a drummer myself since my teens. I started listening to Linkin Park and RHCP, but the existence of time signatures other than 4/4 and 6/8 opened a new world to me. I listened to a lot of Dream Theater. I was inspired by them because that is the first band where I got the feeling that the drums were more than just a supportive element, but actually an instrument on their own and also how many different ways there are to write music (unlike the very common Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Chorus structure). Porcupine Tree and Karnivool came later and they also have my favourite drummers. Portnoy (sorry Mangini) inspired my drumming most as I kind of grew up with his drumming. Gavin Harrison is just a technical beast (the "best" prog drummer who doesn't even consider himself a prog drummer) and I admire Steve Judd for his out-of-the-box writing (like Caudal Lure and the end of Change)!

Yeah Meshuggah can be intimidating at first, I can totally see that. But if you can manage to get used to it, it's a freaking goldmine.
Missed these videos!
im a rapper/producer. thanks to your videos, i was able to organize a project with hella cool polyrhythms, a thousand thank yous.
Great channel! Welcome back!
Electric mandolinist here, the ways in which you conceptualise rhythm are super useful in understanding a lot of the music I listen to, but also when it comes to pieces that my band I are working on, especially for polyrhythmic sections

Long time drummer that doesn't really drum anymore, but I still really dig rhythm and what it can do to your brain. Glad to have you back Yogev!
Glad to be back !
Love language by Talib kweli has a pretty cool groove to it as well
Fusion guitar player keep it up I'm digging this alot

I am a writer with no musical talent, and I am very happy to see the exploration and explanation videos make their return!
Bassist/keyboardist. Always looking for extra layers in music. Thanks for the work you do, man.
So glad you're back.
DRUMMER!!! Also, I felt that Hadag Nahash tune correctly, tho I have no clue how. Snoop was off my charts.
The bass plays it straight down, as a bassist, that was the first thing I heard, and it's probably how you got it too
I play guitar and piano and found you through your Gojira and Meshuggah videos
I play guitar and sometimes some keyboard but definitely not drums. Your visual breakdown of rhythm helps me understand what I'm listening and make sense of it. Thanks a lot for all your videos.
Awesome, thank you!
Guitar player, not drummer. You have one of the best channels for rhythm and timing. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
So happy ur back bro!! אחלה דג נחש והשיר של סנופ גם טירוף
I'm a bassist and your videos are great.
I've played piano for a couple years but I stopped playing as much a little over a year ago. I'm also a composer and singer-songwriter that's been experimenting with different genres over the years!

Glad to see you back, Yogev. Top tier content, as always
Thanks Spencer!
So cool how you also decompose interesting rhythmic ideas in Hip Hop songs. I am mostly here for the Metal videos, but all your content is pure gold!
Well I wish I was a drummer, drums are my favourite instrument but I am a (very) amateur bassist and guitarist, started beatmaking last year, and sometimes find cool ideas thanks to your videos.
I appreciate that!
I play metal guitar. Love your videos, man!
Yes! I guessed right! it was 4/4, also...
I'm no musician so all I know is 4/4
and... it's always 4/4
As for who I am, I'm just a normal guy who likes music in general and music that surprises me or "throws me off" in particular and your channel is a great source for that.
I' m a guitarist thinkink like a drummer. And I really hear the second song in 6
First kick on one and snare on 3. Very simple if you except hi hats. It works with singing also
So glad yr back and making new vids. Thanks so much, as always.
Thank you very much !
Guitarist here, just love polyrhythms
I play Bass, but your rythm breakdowns are just so spot on, relevant to other instruments and cool.
Ride on
Hey Yogev, it's awesome to having your content again, can't wait to watch all of your new videos. Btw, I play guitar, but I love any music/music theory related content, and mainly your videos helped me to develop a wider rhythm vocabulary. It's kinda funny 'cause I remember the first time I saw you talking about rhythm, it was on a David Bruce's video about Tigran and when you explained I'd thought "I could hear this guy talking about music for hours", and fortunately almost a year later you've started Time Consuming. Anyway, it's an awesome content as always!
Ohhhh man thank you so much. I really appreciate your words and I'm happy you enjoy the content!
Not a drummer, I play handpan, guitar, didgeridoo, kashaka and a bit of frame drum. Fan of polyrythm and Tool band, that's how i found you ;)
You make us discover awesome bands/artist , keep continue ! :)
Thanks !!
I'm an amateur bass player with an interest in weird rhythms in music and how they are perceived! I love your videos because I enjoy "getting" or feeling rhythms I haven't felt before. Your visual beat demos are very helpful. Guess I love finding new grooves.
Holy shit, I just spotted Adam Getgood among your patrons! Nice!
As well as Karl Jenkins?! 🤔
friendly neighbourhood bassist here. And synth dabbler. I'm here because I like to play everything as a percussion instrument with weird rhythmic feelings
i play bass but i used to play drums so your channel is really interesting to watch regardless. your meshuggah videos helped me out to learn them on the bass also, so thats really cool
All right ! Happy they helped !
I'm a lighting engineer,
Tho I used to play guitar in a math band,
And also used to produce electronic music
I noticed! Welcome back!
You're back! :D
I actually heard the Snoop Dogg one COMPLETELY WRONG as 6/8 for a couple of seconds before my brain caught up and locked into the 4/4... but I counted it out as 8 instead of 4... I often find it easier to count out slow beats like this in 8 instead of 4. Maybe others would do the whole "1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and" thing...
I love how this song just throws each person somewhere else. It's epic hahaha
I noticed your were away for some times. I was looking for new stuff a few week back and by the way I loved the cover of Stengah with konnakol.
I'm drummer mostly playing prog metal, I love finding pulse and logic in complicated rythme like you but never spend actual time writing stuff down and making things that clear.
I also spend some time playing hand percussions because practicing and playing drum is not convenient for me.
I'm just a curious music lover who doesn't play anything. But in curious about composing and bending my brain with unexpected rhythms and whatnot!
I love this! I’m a drummer, bass player, keyboard player, kinda-guitar player 😂
Hello Yogev. I play bass and as I bassist I thought it would be nice to learn how drummers think or how drum parts are written. I can't believe how your content is free. I'm eternally grateful for your solutions on some musical puzzles I perceived as impeccable.
Rock on!
Missed you so much, happy you're back!
Hey Yogev, I play bass, got here from your Karim Ziad video. Love your work, amazing content, which makes me want to grab my bass and practice. big up from Morocco
Ohhhhh thanks !
That video is one of my favorites.
i’ve played saxophones for years but i’ve played bass for a year and i still can’t understand rhythms very well so watching your videos helps lots
drummer here!
And this is absolutely my favorite new channel.
Oh boy thanks man !!!
I'm actually a saxophone player, into nerdy music theory shit, I think that's how the algorithm connected us. Enjoying the channel, keep up the videos
Ohhhhhh yes !
I'm mostly a keyboard player but I dabble with bass, guitar and drums and production. I hear the Snoop beat as 4/4 with implied (but not actually played ) triplet 1/16 notes with a bar of 4 at the end of the phrase 3/3/3/3/4.
Guitarist here. Glad to have you back! (Also it was cool to see my name in the list at the end! :) )
Ohhhhhhh of that's the case, MEGA thanks to you !
Yogev! Good to have you back. You probably don’t remember, but when we spoke a few months ago, I talked about the 11:8 thing as being an easy result of swapping 4’s with 3’s and 3’s with 2’s - so in the Snoop Doog example (and every other one billion songs that do this kind of thing) the 3+3+4+3+3 accents can easily be heard as 2+2+3+2+2 instead.
Quite often I’ll hear a kick pattern from a distance and think that a simple 3+3+2 or 3+3+3+3+4 is actually a 5 or an 11, but they rarely are lol
I heard that Snoop as 4/4 right away, although the off-beat hi-hats on the Israeli song did trip me up.
Awesome vid as always!
Yes! true true.
Happy you enjoy these Patrick !
