Good point, Gumbo! That is the nature of "cross-over" patterns: they involve 2 rhythms with *different meters* which are played at the same *tempo*. So, regardless of listening to this pattern through the lens of 4/4 (8 beats/bar) or 3/16 (12 beats/bar), both patterns are played at the same tempo, i.e. 180bpm in this case. These patterns have measures that start at the same point, but do not end at the same point until cycling through 24 beats each - at which point they "cross-over"; a point that is illustrated by the clave in this example.

lovely - my only connection to this kind of polyrhythm is thru the Grateful Dead whose two drummers used to explore and experiment thusly.
I like that you can say it has 4 beats AND 6 beats to the measure and then say that it has 180 bpm ;-)

Different recording here as the electric guitar, bass guitar were not plugged in, just recorded raw with a power mic and then EQ'ed to make it sound amped - pardon mistakes!
At one point, I had a version recorded with much better guitar -- at least I thought I did -- but I can't find it now...
Another one of those tunes that kept growing after the demo was laid down, this song now has twice as many verses as you…

Okay, so this is awesome fellas - you're like some explosive cocktail of cool. Kicking major butt, three times!
Each of you kick ass. Together you three are magical! Excellent work fellas. JR
Norm, you are the freakin' coolest! This tune meant a lot to me and now it's on a pedestal. T is gonna love this when he hears it! Thanks, bro - Perfectly done.
wow, what a cool collab. the 3 musicians and instrument sounds mix well. I would crash into this late night show any day of the week
excellent!! I really like this collab! The voice perhaps could be a touch louder other than that this is excellent!
Damn that's a tough count. Super job man. Super.
This is fantastic Norm. Keep bringing me the lessons. I love it. Gotta go try this one now!!!!
I like all your tracks, so excellent sounding.

LOVE IT!
Excellent!!
Crazy great.
Oh my, sublime, El Norm! Would you be terribly offended if I had a play around with this?
thanks for explaining the count btw - that helps a lot
