Same Tempo, Different Speed? Half Time & Double Time Feel Explained
Can you change the apparent speed of a song without adjusting its tempo? In this Rhythm Theory lesson, we learn 5 tried and tested methods to do exactly that, starting with half time, regular time and double time feel. We adopt quite a few Drumming concepts which change the feel of the music with respect to the Snare drum hits, Accents & Pulse. We also discuss Eighth vs Sixteenth Notes & also touch on Polyrhythms. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:12 - Introduction 02:44 - Half v Regular v Double 08:25 - Apparent Speed with Accents 11:46 - Eighth vs Sixteenth Note Motif 15:52 - Changing the Pulse 18:58 - Polyrhythmic Feel 21:22 - Conclusion 23:25 - Outro Performance ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #HalfTimeFeel #DoubleTime #RhythmTheory
