Re: What happens now polyrhythm
Hey Tam,
I asked the same question and he revealed his secret formula. The guitars are in 5/8, he plays 7/8 (along with the bassist) with a dotted 8th on the ride. After many bars of that, they go into 12/8.
Back to reality: It's one of my favorite songs by PT and one of the trickiest drum lines I've heard Gavin lay down. Then again, I don't think I've heard a "simple" drum track from Gavin that didn't require some head scratching.
Hi Gavin,
I have been trying to get my ears around the section that starts with the distorted guitar coming in at about the 5 minute mark. It's in 5/4 (a loop used in another song im pretty sure) after 8 bars you come in with i think a 3/4 on the ride but I haven't got a clue what you playing for the backbeat.
Please come visit Glasgow if your doing clinic tours again, it would be great to have youb here, thomas lang is gonna be here soon and thats a real treat but if i was honest I prefer your style!
Many thanks,
Tam Hewitt-Baker
