Now, one thing all those rhythms have in common
14
73942
5371
Ena stvar, ki je skupna vsem tem ritmom,
01:31
is math,
15
79313
1685
je matematika,
01:32
and I call it a-rhythm-etic.
16
80998
2702
ki jo jaz imenujem ritematika.
01:35
Can you repeat after me? A-rhythm-etic.

21
94143
1437
Jaaa.
01:50
Now all those styles of rhythm
22
98687
5242
Vsi ti stili ritmov
01:55
are all counted in four
23
103929
3167
se štejejo v štiri
01:59
and then subdivided by three.
24
107096
3887
in se delijo na tri.
02:02
What?
25
110983
1853
Kaaaj?
02:04
Yeah. Three is a magic number.
26
112836
3597
Ja. Tri je magično število.
02:08
Three is a groovin' number.
27
116433
2490
Tri je ritmično število.
02:10
Three is a hip-hop kind of number.
28
118923
3852
Tri je hip-hop število.
02:14
But what does subdividing by three mean?
29
122775
2429
Ampak, kaj pomeni delitev na tri?
02:17
And counting off by four?
30
125204
1817
In štetje na štiri?
02:19
Well, look, think of it this way.
31
127021
2347
Glej, predstavljaj si na tak način.
02:21
A measure of music as a dollar.
32
129368
3737
Merilo glasbe kot dolar.
02:25
Now a dollar has four quarters, right?
33
133105
5962
Dolar ima štiri četrtine, a ne?
02:31
And so does a 4/4 measure of music.
34
139067
3856
In prav tako jih ima 4/4 merilo glasbe.
02:34
It has four quarter notes.
35
142923
3643
Ima štiri četrtinske note.
02:38
Now, how do you subdivide?
36
146566
2236
Kako jih razdeliš?
02:40
Now let's envision this:
37
148802
4392
Predstavljajmo si:
02:45
three dollars' worth of quarters.
38
153194
3753
četrtinke dolarjev vredne tri dolarje.
02:48
You would have three groups of four,
39
156947
4020
Imel bi tri skupine štirih kovancev,
02:52
and you would count it,
40
160967
1577
ki bi jih preštel,
02:54
a-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
41
162544
2012
en-dva-tri-štir', en-dva-tri-štir',
02:56

Vzemimo zdaj te tri skupine četrtink
03:09
and make them four groups of three.
46

04:21
So I want to take the second line beat
67
249764
3815
Želim vzeti ritem druge vrste
04:25
and the swing beat and put them together,
68
253579
2061
in swing ritem, jih združiti,
04:27
and it sounds something like this.
69
255640
2591
in sliši se nekako takole.
04:43

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Clayton Cameron - DrummerA pioneer in brush technique, drummer Clayton Cameron has toured with Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett and jazz legend Kenny Burrell.
Why you should listen
Clayton Cameron holds a unique title: Brush Master. That's because this percussionist prefers brushes to sticks, and has spent his career perfecting the art of brush technique. Cameron grew up in Los Angeles and started drumming at a young age on empty oatmeal boxes. After college, he moved to Las Vegas, where he was hired as the drummer for Sammy Davis Jr.'s big band. "It would be Sammy's tap dancing night after night that would inspire my brush playing," says Cameron.
During his tenure with Sammy Davis Jr., Cameron played with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. And, after moving to New York, he struck up a longterm friendship with Tony Bennett, and spent 15 years touring with the master. Cameron recorded 15 albums with Bennett, including his Grammy-winning Tony Bennett Unplugged.
Cameron has also worked with jazz legend Kenny Burrell, who encouraged him to teach at UCLA's Herb Alpert School of Music. In addition, Cameron released his debut album in 2012, Here's to the Messengers: Tribute to Art Blakey, and formed his own group, Jazz eXplosion. Cameron has also released several DVDs over the years as well as a book, Brushworks.
