Polyrhythms 3 against 4 and 4 against 3

Polyrhythms • 3 vs 4 and 4 vs 3 • Illustrated with hands drumming and animated graphic as parts of a three stage rocket: • The mental understanding of how the 3-pulse and the 4-pulse merge within a 12 beat cycle. This becomes clear from the animation. • The use of word strings to facilitate the memory and execution with hands. • The integration in body. Clapping is only the first step: the exercises may be taken further using other postures - lying and walking,... • The video plays in three tempi for different levels of practice challenge: Slow, medium and fast, each of 90 seconds duration. • The left hand (green colour) continuously drums a 3-divided even pulse in the 12 beats cycle where only the numbered are with claps. They are accentuated naturally by the word string: • 'WE can FEEL the RHY- thm -...' • The right hand (blue colour) continuously drums a 4-divided even pulse. • Again a 12 beats pr cycle with claps on the numbered elements. They are accentuated naturally by the word string: • 'A POLY- RHYTH- mic FLOW...' (you may find your own alternatives for both word strings!) • Notice how the the strings change the feel of the basic rhythm pattern! • Feel free to challenge yourself changing hands, following either the 3- or the 4- pulse with your feet,....etc. • More about polyrhythm to be found at / polymeter
