The ability to boil down such complex concepts into something this easily digestible is the sign of a master of their craft. Great work Mike 🖤

Finally those Calculus classes will pay off.

"You can put a polymeter inside a polymeter so you can djent while you djent"

[perpetualgrimace]

Djent without polymeter is icing without the cake. Thanks for breaking the cool part down for people. ✌

Just play the snare on 2 and 4 and play the guitar riff on the kick drum. Crash cymbals in 8ths during the chorus, switch to hats for the verses, ride during the bridge. That's all, folks.

Dude I'm honestly super hyped for this. You've been my favorite drummer since Gnosis and to catch some lessons from you is reason enough for me to buy a kit and give a it a go!

I am so glad that YouTube recommended this video. Nice work!

[AustinJSchaeffer]

I'm not a drummer but I do write music and as a result have to write/program the drums and this was a very helpful video! I had already known somewhat about the counting and just letting that run over a 4/4 bar but it always felt like that was cheating (compared to I guess just, "feeling" it) and so it's reassuring to know that it is entirely okay to construct rhythm patterns in that way.

Ahh the art of djenting while already this is only amongst the most of extrodinary

Each of those examples were played with such groove Mike! Great to see you're doing well :D

[iamglitch]

This is a great lesson! I have often wondered how to program these types of rhythms as I don't play drums myself, and now they make a lot more sense

[sterlingprattles]

Compound polymeter as pimp my ride is pure genius.

[oshikiri]

You gave off straight Guthrie Goven energy bro. Like you know what tf you're talking about

[Spearced]

Fantastic video Mike. Clearly explained and inspiring even for a non-drummer, plus the editing is on point! Great stuff.

[demarcussumter]

Holy shit I actually found your Youtube. I JUST found Monuments 2 months ago and you guys ARE AMAZING!!!

[BruceBalensiefer]

Yo dawg, I heard you like polymeters in your polymeters.

[stbz]

What a great introduction to djent drums!! Can highly recommend the Malyan Drum Academy as well!!

[minecortesbrl]

when i opened the video, i was thinking exactly that
"4/4 on hands, 16s on kick using compund meter"
asicaly bleed's "1231 1231 1231 1231" kicks over a 4/4 snare and cymbals
(im still learning rhythm theory lol)

Such a djentleman for sharing your wisdom.

Enjoyed talking about this concept with you in Lincoln, NE! Really enjoyed your excitement and passion for drumming!
