Mike Mangini’s 3 Layer Polyrhythm Drum Practice Pattern
Mike Mangini’s 3 Layer Polyrhythm Drum Practice Pattern
This non-groove, totally robotic drumming oriented drum video filmed on an EPro & GEN16 Electronic Kit. You can only hear the pads. The clip is made to support the Facebook posting about what I was practicing with regard to the body wiring type of drumming I do as part of my whole growth path and to be able to focus my mind and play with more swing with simple drumming patterns while not having to count 3 things. Executing two long patterns at once is 12 Zillion times harder than doing something like 7 and 5 at the same time. I am doing 19 & 17 AND putting them in mental base times other than those two. The purpose of this is to make less difficult playing allow me to use my brain for creativity rather than using it to keep track of 3 things plus all the limb coordination challenges. It also helps play just a single pattern with much more feel and control as opposed to the robotic feel of these types of patterns. I get the whole drumming spectrum from suffering through practices that teach this stuff.

Lmao. "Boink. That's what I've been doing."
4:13 anyway… boink. xD
ima dislike this out of jealousy
Wa- how? So like, when, wait….huh?
wtf ?
So apparently this guy plays the drums, is that right or am I missing the point?
seems pointless. If it doesnt have a music application, its all silly. Oh sure, "look what I can do". Yet, without a melody, its of no real use.
Yeah – he lost me right after he said – "I made a posting a little while ago…" This cat is playing at a level beyond regular human beings.
When He says 19 and 17, does he mean 19/16 and 17/16? As a drummer I really want to learn and fully understand this.
but can he play seven nation army
Do you sign drumsticks at concerts
what if you try it with just one pair of hats? great stuff by the way lml
Got it? Well as he said, not meant for music ;D
He cannot put this into a song
"That's hard enough as it is"….
YEAH NO SHIT BRO.
my brain hurts..
Awesome!
1:54 his face was like..is that simple!!
Talented
never 😂
Hi mike, DT really needs your poly rhythm on the next album.. seriously.
You lost me at "Hello…I'm Mike Mangini…" lol Just incredible! I've met you 3 times in life now, at drum clinics and sound checks…and you signed some of your sticks for me in Birmingham UK (You remember the clinic you did at Hard Rock Cafe where the sound engineer showed up 7 hours late and you had to go on with no mics on the kit…I think it was the year 1999 lol) . It's so great to hear you constantly pushing yourself and the boundaries of the know. Rhythmic world. Oh and your playing with Dream Theater just has me in stitches cus it's so ridiculously brilliant!! 🙂 Thanks for being such a top guy and inspiration 🙂 All the best, Tim
That actually grooves like crazy😂💣🥁
how tf
Boom! I think my head just exploded… The groove is still there, though! Love the mix of feels 🙂
Really useful, thanks for posting 👍🏼😀😀
Hey man, can you please go through that sexchange operation and be a soccer mom already? It's just really painful to see this process taking too long.
"Boink!"
Gini, you must have like 3 separate brains.
Triplet feel! Of course! A 3 Layer Polyrhythm ain't hard enough.
Are u human?
Mangini, you are a God among men! Love your work brother!
THOMAS HAAKE(and MORGAN AGREN) do this things from at least 20 years now…adding that this drum sounds like shit…hope it is not caused by his touch…otherwise it becomes useless doin' all this shit if you had no sound…
ok… im done…. forget about drumming… :/
What head mesh Mike haved?
Why would you fuck up so many drummers man. 😅 im having trouble with odd times as it is and then this stuff comes along.
Mad skills.
3:56 "So it sounds like a triplet; you just have to keep track of the 19." Sure Mike. I'll do that.
this is not normal for humans to be able to do!

Is Mangini a robot?
"Just so you can follow it!" he says! Awesome talent!
HA
Does anyone understand this?
