CROSS-OVER POLYRHYTHMS
This is actually a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different meters (i.e., a different numbers of beats/measure) are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures that start at the same point, but do not end at the same point until cycling through a certain number of measures -at which point they “cross-over”. In this example, the bass lines are played in 4/4 and the percussion at 5/4, so they don’t share a common downbeat until cycling through 5 bars of the bass groove. The over-all effect is to give the illusion of a quite complicated percussion, when actually it is just distorted through the lens of an “incorrect” time signature perspective. At the end of the piece, once the bass has faded out, the simplicity of the underlying 5/4 percussion pattern can finally be recognized easily - at which point the abrupt change from 4/4 to 5/4 sort of feels like jumping off of a merry-go-round!
Once again, many thanks to Vaisvil for his totally slicy (and improvised!) bass work!!

How can you have any slicy basses if you don't eat your vaisvil?
I thought I had faved this MF. Sorry, it's faved now boys. Great sounds.
I do like the gutsy bass in there, great percussion keeps us on our toes.
Take me to your Leader.... this is an awasome (however you spell it ) cool piece...
this is very cool. I've been wanting to experiment with poly-rhythms too. Nice stuff Fellas!
Love the description. Very educational as well as entertaining. :) U2 make a good team.
polyrhythms, thanks for explaining that - Tasty percussion. Also, Vaisvil does a great job playing along this groove
Explosive chemistry here, guys! Brilliant work! Love that rhythm, love that raunchy guitar. Sounds like conjuring up mischief on a hot day.
