lol, apparently 21:37 is a poland meme, we didn't know that. we just thought somebody was listing large numbers to be an idiot. Sorry poland

[BlackWhiteCloud]

So Shawn really is the one person to use %100 of his brain to count time signatures...

[kel]

Playing polyrhythms on the drums is so impressive it’s so cool that he can do that

[Syffsy]

imo a lot of polyrhythms sound more musical when they're "flipped", so the two rhythms meet on the backbeat instead of the downbeat.

[graf]

21:37 is the one polyrhythm you cannot slander

[rasmusn.e.m]

Polyrhythms to me are what polymers are also to me. The things that stopped me from getting good at music and biochemistry.

[scraps]

Man Shawn is like a rhythm cyborg, I can't even begin to imagine how much practice he has put into his craft

[lovedeluxe]

6:47, ah, so now I can have BESPOKE POLYRHYTHMS to go alongside my PRO LEVEL CHORDS

[TheHadMatters]

I can guarantee everyone who watched this would have liked the samples to be 400% longer. Just my 2c for any similar future videos with a similar elementary subject matter where a lot of different categories of the same thing get listed.

[HofTheStage]

Because of this video I'm looking for a home to buy, thanks guys

[MattyPanda]

Shawn's 13:12 example is basically a Purdie shuffle with a little extra spice to keep you on your toes, which I dig.

[YannSelka]

The coolest thing about 6:5:4:3:2:1 is when you speed it up, you get a major chord :) Although that's also true for 5:3:1 or some other combination

[linksysKOW]

I think it's gonna be lost on a lot of people how good of a drummer this guy is.

[DorianDeLuca]

These guys have so much charisma. The seemingly nearly effortless way that Crowder intuits so many of what are, to me, preposterously complex polyrhythms is such a joy to watch.

[seandaly]

I saw this video a month ago and didn't realize until just rewatching it now that I was the one to recommend 5:7 at 1:47! Super stoked to be part of the vid! Keep doing what ur doing Adam and Shawn!

[sihplak]

I personally like 5:11 (the polyrhythm not the timestamp) a lot because it feels like the super-particular 5:6, but you delay when it moves forward a beat by one beat.

[michaelmckinnie]

I was eating breakfast and looked up right at 10:11 and saw you both staring directly into my soul. Thanks as always for another great video!

[dj_laundry_list]

5:7 is technically the septimal tritone, or septimal diminished 5th. Not to be confused with the 12-tone equal tempered tritone (√2)

[magulloff]

2:54 the Polish reference Adam did not get xD

[piotrnowacki]

Adam casually disrespecting the nation of Poland by putting 21:37 in the trash tier.
