So today we are going to look at 18 of these "named" rhythms so you can be familar with how they sound and where they come from. 📌NOTE: on 15th April 2025 I had to cut out the clips of "Faith" by George Michael, “Panic in Detroit” by David Bowie and "His Latest Flame" by Elvis from the Bo Diddley beat section of this video due to copyright claims. The outro music to this video is my track "Clap" which you can hear in full on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0wKKJoOZd8JQJDgGU8sb8V?si=dcs5zn4JRDO7oVCEkfK6YQ And, an extra special thanks goes to Douglas Lind, Vidad Flowers, Ivan Pang, Waylon Fairbanks, Jon Dye, Austin Russell, Christopher Ryan, Toot & Paul Peijzel, the channel’s Patreon saints! 😇 SOURCES: https://www.finearts.uvic.ca/~aschloss/course_mat/MU320/Global%20Rhtyhm%20and%20Human%20Consciousness/ARTICLES%20AND%20REFS%20FOR%20320/perspectives_standard_african_bell.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkyOFkBAMDg https://sunhou.se/blog/the-rhythmic-worlds-of-bembe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptlBWTHeCrs https://pulse.berklee.edu/?id=4&lesson=14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7cG9QIvIWo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkyOFkBAMDg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybgSGQpQTB0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHONSLb7bJw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj1_pasEINU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W3cPSntmBk 0:00 Introduction 0:11 Son Clave 1:30 Bo Diddley beat 2:42 Tresillo 4:32 Rumba Clave 5:30 Standard African Bell pattern 6:21 Shuffle 7:40 HDpiano 8:14 Swing 9:21 Scotch Snap 10:24 Bossa Nova 11:34 Charleston 12:09 Waltz 13:27 5/4 clave 14:00 Triplets 14:25 Tuplets 14:43 3:2 Polyrhythm 15:51 4:3 Polyrhythm 16:44 Football Clap 17:37 Shave and a haircut, two bits 18:34 Patreon SUPPORT ME ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/davidbennettpiano 🎹
