More Polyrhythm Feels |
Be aware that these are not true polyrhythms if you play them as written. The ghost notes (notes in parantheses) I have written for the snare must be omitted for these to be true polyrhythms. The idea is to get them in your head so that you have an internal reference for when to play the notes that I have accented. Start off each of these excercises by playing all the notes with even dynamics. In other words, don't worry about the ghost notes, and don't worry about the accented notes (notes with > above them) and play them all as if they were regular notes. When your comfortable looping it without stopping, then start adding the accents and ghosting the notes in parentheses. Continue practicing until you can smoothly loop the excercise with proper dynamics without stopping. Lastly, if you want to hear the true polyrhythm you should begin slowly fading out those ghost notes until they are no longer audible. You may find that it sounds better with the ghost notes left in. Experiment and have fun.
