It's called a metronome.
Maybe for you commie libtards, we real men call it a hetronome!
/s
I keep mine outside. I call it a gardenome.
If you live in a city it's a metronome silly
If you find one on your skin, it could be a melanonome.
If it belongs to the streets, it’s called a hormone.
Mine are all at Tenpenny Tower.

Why did you have to ruin it with the slash s. Let your words be free bro.

Not to be confused with the Technodrome.

The triplets and 16th got me
That wasn't a true 3:4 polyrhythm, those triplets were quite a bit syncopated. But tbf, true 3:4 is SUPER hard to do
lol yep, I’ve spent a LOT of time engraining 3:4 into my limbs, and this sure wasn’t it. What she did was common though, where you add an extra 16th note to the “3” hand to round it off. It sits better with people as you get a full measure of 16 in both hands, instead of what should be 12 (lowest common multiple of 3 and 4).
Drummers don't get the respect they deserve.
If you want to see someone truly spectacular, watch el estepario siberiano on YouTube, he’s incredible
Love that guy. So stoked to see what his new band comes out with in the coming years.
When I want to refer someone to a drum clip I always think Chad Smith doing 30s to Mars. I'm sure you've seen it.
Yeah, he’s incredible. Just how quickly he picks it up, and how close he is to the original
He gets it SO FAST.
My mother every time I told people that I play drums...
"You know what they call the people who follow musicians around to all their shows... the drummer"
That's cold af!
Your mother has clearly never listened to Tool
the IT workers of the music world
Or, if you are a drummer, a regular wednesday afternoon.
Welp, I just tried to figure out what she's doing wrong (and how it's supposed to sound) for the last hour and now my head hurts.
she's dragging the first 2 strokes of the triplets. she basically plays two syncopated 8th with a 16th added at the end, which makes it sound like her triplets have a hiccup. it should sound way more "floaty". and someone should throw a chair at her
Yeah from the documentary I saw, throwing the chair is a big motivator. Supposedly a cymbal works too. I wish people would throw chairs at me more often. That's why Im lazy. No one ever throws a chair at me.
it was a risky thing to type out, glad u got the reference
I was waiting for this, thinking “man I’m always syncopated when I do anything like that” and then so was she. It’s a learning to get good enough at making music to see how bad at it one is.
Well she’s r/confidentlywrong on this one. You can have a listen to the real 3 against 4 if you want to e.g. here with an online metronome https://poly.ozieblowski.dev
Definitely. I'm not much of a drummer (more strings).
I can do what she is doing right off rip. I cannot do it correctly (at least not easily/for long).
She did this wrong.
This stupid video always drives me insane. I get so annoyed that the triplets and 16th are the only hard part and she does it WRONG! WHY EVEN POST THE VIDEO?
Listen to the triplets during this part and you’ll see they’re not even close to evenly spaced.
It’s just a beat and then an offset pair of 16ths to be different in time from the other 16ths.
So annoying…
She's not doing the triplets right. Her triplets are starting on the initial downbeat of the bar, the middle 'pah' (tri-pah-let) should be centered on the beat, but it is super hard to get that right unless you're playing a shuffle, let alone doing it while mainting an even beat at the same time.
TIL that there are people who don't know what a metronome is
probably just engagement bait
100% sadly. Better than a typo or wrong word i guess...

I've taken piano lessons for a few years as a teenagers, never managed to mix the 1/3 with anything beside the single.
Rest assured; you're not alone.
Frickin triplets.
I feel like every musician would benefit from taking some drum lessons, and vice versa. This is fairly basic stuff for a drummer, and having this sort of rhythmic independence is very useful to have, especially on piano
As an exercise, my piano teacher did have me tap out with my hand on a table to try and get me to work out that rhythmic independence. I never really managed it. If I applied 100% of my concentration on my hands I could manage it for short period of times, but the moment I had to concentrate on something else, like reading the sheet music or remembering the notes, I failed miserably.
I never got all that good on the piano anyway. Found it relaxing, but never had the needed coordination.
I got anxious watching it because my body could never figure out how to physically do that.
Wait until you hear TOOL's time signatures. Vicarious is a good place to start
Edit: probably the most complex time signature I've heard is the middle section of The Mars Volta Vismund Cygnus in 29/16
What time signature is that, Danny?
Yes.
🫠
danny is what a drummer can be if he's actually a percussionist
i'm so beat-deaf that i wouldn't even notice that they have unusual time signatures when listening to tool. they're just playing music.
'beat-deaf'. I've never heard someone use that term before... I like it. I don't know if I would describe myself that way, but as a singer I'm definitely rhythm-challenged when it gets complex.
Jambi is a good place to start. The intro is a very weird time signature.
It's 9/8, but feels more like an alternating 4/4 5/4
I’m seriously lost at Vicarious’s time signature
Anyone can do this! It just takes practice.
I was a pianist for 15 years and a percussionist in band for 10 years. I never quite got down doing both triplets and sixteenths at the same time with two hands. I could do triplets and eighths just fine, though.
people with 1 hand disagree
That's not true. People who don't have feeling of ritm can't pull this off. I even know people who can't clap their hands in ritm
Our music teacher tested us with this. Was clapping and we had to figuere it out. I never learned an instrument. This was super impossible for me.
I learned playing triplets over eights by just listening to the pattern and one magical moment it just clicked. Now I can play any 3 over 2 pattern without too much difficulty, same with 3 over 4 (basically the same right?) but not any others.
This was while practicing for the Metamorphoses by Philip Glass.
Wait till you have to try do it with both feet as well…..
She’s gotta be a drummer, I am friends with some very talented musicians, even some famous ones, and most of them wouldn’t be able to do this. The drummers could totally do this though.
no pls no, i get how this may be "amazing" for non musically inclined people, but this is a) a very simple exercise and b) her "3 against 4" timing is really bad...
I don't think my brain could handle that, much less my hands.
I really don't want to be that asshole, but no... This basic rhythmic understanding that more or less every drummer (for example) should have. I don't know any serious musician who couldn't do that...
Its basic rhythm plus she messes the first 4 over 3 up.
She literally got the only difficult one completely wrong lol. I'd say over 50% of high school level musicians could do better
Yeah it looks cool, but any highschool drummer should be able to do this. It's fairly rudamentary.
She was still doing fairly straight forward combinations, and switched between them in a predictable order. If she would have done both the combinations and the order randomly it would have been more difficult.
You know pretty much any intermediate musician could do this right?
That is a woman
I thought it was a pen
All I see is a sheet of paper.
What about table though
It's actually a metronome
How do you operate this so called "woman"?
comment bait
What's comment bate?
I wish someone could give a good example to explain it
op knows what is the device, just asking a question to generate commments
asking a question that everyone knows the answer to so that lots of people will comment. social media in general rewards accounts that generate interactions like upvoting and commenting.
Yeah my question was meant as a joke/comment bait but was probably too subtle lol. Really though, the world is too jaded already and it's important to have a place people where people can ask "dumb" questions. I guess the price is that some people will figure out how to monetize the generosity of others but c'est la vie. I want you to be able to answer my question and not feel like a chump so - thank you for your helpful response!

I can keep rhythm with no metronome no metronome!
And I can see your face on the telephone on the telephone on the telephone.
While certainly impressive, most any experienced musician and/or music teacher would/should be able to do this at sight or with a small moment of practice. The only real challenge is the 4 against 3 polyrhythms but even those shouldn't be too hard for your average professional musician. Percussionists and keyboardist would have the easiest time with it. Also the device is called a metronome.
Fun Fact: All composite polyrhythms (aka the rhythm the 2 voices overlapping make when doing 4 vs 3 or 2 vs 3) are palindromes.
Metroid
That's a metronome lol
And just like that, i learned waht these music notes mean, tonewise.
Great drummes' routine.
Do they no longer teach about Metronomes anymore in school?
Metronome
It was all correct except for one mistake near the end.
The rhythm is incorrect while the blue pen on the triplet (3 notes) and the yellow pen is on the sixteenth notes (4 notes).
Each of the 3 notes in the triplet should be spaced out evenly like she does with the other triplets, but instead she hits them as if they were sixteenth notes on beats 1, 4, and 7 on an 8/8 time signature. You can see her correct this rhythm as soon as the blue and yellow pen switch places/values.
So you're saying she isn't going TA TA TA but TA ta-ta instead?
This caught my ear aswell, im not great at music theory but as a drummer i can hear it quite well
You are correct. And remind me that my years of study still aren't enough lol I felt the mistake, but didn't quite consciously put it together. Gotta keep studying and practicing.
Exactly. She’s playing a tresillo rhythm, not triplets
Cute vid and demonstration :)
its a cool clip, but a 3 against 4 polyrhythm isnt that big a deal. Sure looks impressive for the untrained eye or none-musically trained person.
If you actually knew bout the polyrhythms some musicians eat for breakfast - just to make ends meet, you would not even bat an eye bout this vid.
Polyrhythms to check out 5/4, 7/8, 7/11.
I learned this in college jazz band from the drummer (I play guitar). I can do all of this, but keeping it time with the metronome is pretty difficult. Probably easier for a drummer no doubt. It’s definitely good practice for any musician though.

It's called a Metronome
3-4 was the coolest, in my humble opinion...
She played it incorrectly
Reading music would have made sense to me in school had I seen this
Really makes me amazed that there are people out there who dont know what a metronome is.
It is called dat dara dat dat dat dara dat dat
The metronome? markers? Human woman?
That was so good!👏💯👍🏽😎
Annoying?
Marker but she has two so markers is probably more correct
A sheet of paper.
Looks like pens or markers of some sort.
Metronom
i love how people still don't understand how engagement works. calling a duck a swan, or asking what a metronome is causes people to engage in comments, which works well for OPs algorithm, who is just farming karma. I agree that this is stupid, but some of the comments here are stupider

LMAO the air who made this post broke
No need to be rude, she's probably a nice girl, not a tool.

That, good sir is called a woman :D
Sis had a bit of African rhythm on the threes.
It’s pronounced, “thermometer.”
What do you call a tiny, garden-dwelling person living in a city?
Woman
Doesn't this often happen in people whose two brain halves are split?
She's so off beat lol
Sick polyrhythms she would be a good drummer
If I remember correctly there is a Seiko watch that has an alarm tone that does this metronome beeps.
My brain would shut down trying to make a different beat on two pens simultaneously
That one that she gets wrong at 36 seconds is really jarring.
I played violin my whole life, read notes, understand rhytms, live for music. But damn the last one I’ll never be able to do that. It’s like drawing 2 different figures at the same time (each hand a different figure).
That's a woman
That's how cheeks be clapping.
If you know KSI, y'all know what I'm thinking about
Markers
Must be able to split her brain in half
I was taught a good way of doing the triplets and the quavers at the same time. And it’s very British. If you say: “Do Have Some Tea” and alternate finger tapping with both taps ending and starting on ‘Do’, you can achieve the 2:3 quite easily.
Same thing applies for the 4:3 but you say: “Do Have A Cup Of Tea”.
It makes something that looks hard, very easy.
