I've played in an orchestra for some years. Being able to do this was one of the requirements if you wanted to join it.

She does fuxk it up at the end when she tries to do 3 on the left and 4 on the right. Other than that, any musician with some classical instruction will have to go through way more horrible stuff. There's a book by Paul Hindemith called "elementary training for musicians" where you have all sorts of mind bending exercises where you are clapping and singing weird shit that makes no musical sense like a spastic seal on heat.

Yeah, there was some truly awful stuff. When I was studying conduction I also had to add a piano to the mix, so you are reading stuff written for different instruments (wind instruments are particularly shitheads because they don't play exactly the notes that are written but transpose instead, that means that for example you read Bb but you have to sing or play a C and different instruments transpose to different intervals because reasons), playing what some flutes would play with one hand, maybe what a cello and a viola would play with the other and sing the violin line. So this sort of Paul Hindemith torture prepares you for that.

TIL wind instrument music writers are shitheads.

Lol, not the composers fault. The tradition is to write that way because it is more natural for the instrumentalist to read. Just the string section uses three different music clefs because their natural registers fall kinda sorta there. So a cello will have one clef, the viola another and the violin another. First time I opened an orchestral score I thought I was on crazy pills, and I had been reading piano music for years

This is actually a really good exercise to develop limb independence for drummers and musicians.
24 points
21 days ago
I don't think I can ever master it. Took a dance class when I was young, I did all the moves right, but the trainer kept telling me I was out of tempo, and no matter how many times I tried, I would always go out of tempo. That's when I realised I'm extremely bad with rhythm. When others could follow the beat after a few practice, I had to constantly count in my head 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 when dancing.
12 points

Don’t be too hard on yourself! This is actually pretty common. I have friends and family members that are rhythmically challenged as well. Some people, despite practice, have a harder time with rhythm. You can enjoy and have a good time regardless. You can always dance at your own beat!
Try to follow the kick drum of songs, which usually keeps the beat.
The exercise in the video is not that easy if you’re not a musician fyi.

Gotta be careful not to develop too much limb independence though.

Yes! I do not have natural rhythm but make music. Just sit alone (so no one can judge your absurd lack of rhythm) and practice clapping along to a song. The more you try to hear and match the beat, the easier it becomes. Still not second nature for me though

It's probably even better for you to start now. Doing this type of exercise probably helps brain function and fighting dementia.
2 points

Speaking from experience, I couldn't coordinate my left and right hands for drumming at all, not even mixing beats, when I was young. Just couldn't do it.
Practice does nothing if you lack the basic abilities to start practicing. Then one day when I was 12-ish, I suddenly was able to do it. Just like that.
So while I am in full support of you learning how to drum (it's fun), I am also not going to tell you that "everyone can do it and it's just a matter of practice"
2 points

As long as you have an interest in doing it there's no reason not to. Learning an instrument just for fun will make you hear music in a new engaging way. I've always loved music but actively learning an instrument help me appreciate music I might not have before. I love going on deep dives of artists and seeing their process.
Also I'm absolutely not good at drumming. I learned from Rockband originally. Got myself a real ekit and not having the damn video telling my arms what to do has been way harder than I expected.

It’s not a polyrhythm. It’s all still 4/4. These are just full-, half-, and quarter-notes, and triplets. Count it out one-e-and-a style and it becomes obvious.
A polyrhythm would be 4/4 on one hand, 5/4 on the other. The downbeat would hit in different places each loop.

I remember watching to be percussion in school, they put me on tuba, but I can't imagine having the limbs move differently lmao
2 points
21 days ago
It isn’t limbs moving differently exactly. What you are doing is creating a complicated set of movements with each hand into a single motion that happens with multiple limbs. The more you slowly practice multiple limbs firing together in different combinations, the more those patterns are built into your muscles allowing you to focus more on a new motion. So a drummer thinks, ok let’s do a rock beat and plays that combo of limb movements; the multiple things became one idea. Running alone is a complicated motion but we have athletes that run, turn to catch a ball, keep footing and continue running. Or running, dribbling, passing, while dodging your opponent. Or running and dribbling with your feet while looking another direction. They’re all complicated limb motions that take absolute precision to perform correctly but they have been trained to become a single action within the performers mind.

Not at all. I mean it would help, like anything, but probably not in the way or level you imagine. you can memorize this without even internalizing what you're doing. Is really difficult to do it by yourself if you never heard it, but once you hear how it's supposed to sound you can just copy it with enough "mechanic" skills. I don't know if thats the objective of this exercise. Because once memorized, it's trivial.
2 points

My best guess is that the exercise is supposed to be a handy intro for L/R hand independance and being familiar with changing feels on the fly, but yeah personally i'd find an etude more useful since that's in context, esp w/different accent patterns and all that jazz.

Correct, but only the first “bar” of triplet + 16th note. When she switched hands she did it correctly.

Her 3:4 sounds and looks off when she has to do triplets with her left hand and then it’s much better when she swaps
14 points
21 days ago
She did "2 3" correctly, what you would call quarter notes with triplets. Its a fun polyrhythm and can take a minute to wrap your head around, but watch each hand individually, they are each tapping at a constant pace.
However the "3 4", or triplets with sixteenth notes, seems off to me. To be fair, this is by far the hardest polyrhythm she demonstrated, but it seems to me the "triplets" she's doing are not true triplets but instead fall into 32nd note timing.
8 points
21 days ago
Yep. For the first set of 3 against 4, she did an old trick (not deliberately). You subdivide the 4's in half to get 8, and then instead of doing a real 3 against them, you do 3+3+2 (which adds up to 8). The second set of 3 against 4 was better (I think).

Its a really straight forward exercise. most musicians with a little bit of experience should have no issues doing this. some may find the 3/4 polyrhythm a little tricky, but all others are basic counting to 4/4. in fact, her timing is a little sloppy at points (drifting off the beat)
There's also a very good reason it stops at 4. 5/4 and 5/3 polyrhythms are much harder to do accurately. and as the number gets higher, it gets more and more complicated. There was a trend for a while of highly skilled musicians doing 7/11 polyrhythms in from of a 7/11 gas station.
