Just like chords and scales-there are rhythm patterns that artists use across all genres and styles of music.

In this video Matt Burns unpacks a handful of the most basic rhythm patterns used in popular music.
Believe it or not, so much music is inspired by the Afro-Cuban claves and tresillos used in salsa, mambo and bossa nova music.
Learning how to identify important rhythm patterns like The Charleston, the tresillo, the hemiola and the son clave is an incredibly valuable skill for learning to modern music and finding inspiration to write better tracks.

A shame the chords and background music made it hard to hear/focus on the rhythms. It'd be great to hear 5sec of the rhythm alone then add another instrument and keep the background music more neutral at a lower volume. The visuals are great though!

The chords and music are playing the rhythms. Edit: are you meaning that you want to hear the drums?

Bro literally clapped it and found music that uses the rhythms. Don’t blame the video, just apply yourself more!

@j3ffn4v4rr0 2 жыл бұрын

The best lesson of this video is, rhythm is not all about the drums. This video is about song groove, not drum patterns...so, like the examples here show, it might be the guitar or something else, which plays the featured rhythm.

Those rhythms are the foundation of most Latin American folkloric music, it´s odd to see them as something "new" Great video, greetings from Argentina

then we're arguing about which DAW and why that DAW?!....over another! and then we're discussing why that drum machine..etc. the little sequencer bar graphic was just fine.

If you want to dig deeper, The Geometry of Musical Rhythm by Toussaint is a good overview of rhythms from around the world. It’s very academic, but not too dense. I found that using a circular sequencer like Patterning for iOS is a great way to explore the rhythms, it’s also an amazing drum machine.

All the noise made it hard to hear the rhythms. There should have been more of a focus on playing the rhythms in question by themselves so we can get the feel.

Agree. its great, but we need exercises or something to help us produce these rhythms by tapping strumming or whatever. Probably needs 10 minutes on each one to really get it.

I like the way you teach stuff. Visualize the rhythms, short recap of the origin, mention some popular examples, explain which feeling it creates & make some jokes to ease the “boring” theory. It’s very entertaining. LANDR please invite Matt more often to your channel & let him explain the mysteries of beat making 😉

Useful overview of some key rhythms AND it would have been nice to hear each rhythm with nothing else going on (like others are saying it seems). Especially the Double Tricero, which is a new one to me! I can hear the keyboard chords are playing it, but they're also doing some kind of additional accents. What exactly IS going on?!

@enzolescure5833 2 жыл бұрын

Why don't you write sheet music, or at least show the rhythm alone without any music that could hide it ? It's really hard to hear. You don't even say that charleston is swung ! Given that these basic rhythms changed how you make music, and how basic and intuitive they are, I wonder how you could even try to write music before.

@enzolescure5833 2 жыл бұрын

The hemiola isn't correctly counted. When couting the triplets, accentuate the notes that are played, but still count to 3. The division of beats does not change.

@enzolescure5833 2 жыл бұрын

How do you tresillos are based on clave, and not the other way around ? Moreover, if the clave is so important, why didn't you make a video for this particular rhythm ? You did not talk about 3:2 vs. 2:3 clave, neither did you mention son vs. rumba clave.
