Now, one thing all those rhythms have in common
14
73942
5371
好了，所有这些节奏里有一样共同的东西
01:31
is math,
15
79313
1685
就是数学，
01:32
and I call it a-rhythm-etic.
16
80998
2702
我叫它节奏数学（和算术谐音）
01:35
Can you repeat after me? A-rhythm-etic.
Audience: A-rhythm-etic.

1437
克莱顿•卡梅隆：好。
01:50
Now all those styles of rhythm
22
98687
5242
所有这些类型的节奏
01:55
are all counted in four
23
103929
3167
都是4拍
01:59
and then subdivided by three.
24
107096
3887
再分为3组。
02:02
What?
25
110983
1853
啥？
02:04
Yeah. Three is a magic number.
26
112836
3597
是的，3是个神奇数字。
02:08
Three is a groovin' number.
27
116433
2490
3是个很棒的数字。
02:10
Three is a hip-hop kind of number.
28
118923
3852
3是个有点嘻哈味的数字。
02:14
But what does subdividing by three mean?
29
122775
2429
分为3组到底是什么意思呢？
02:17
And counting off by four?
30
125204
1817
还有什么是4拍？
02:19
Well, look, think of it this way.
31
127021
2347
好，看好了，这么想一想。
02:21
A measure of music as a dollar.
32
129368
3737
把音乐的基本单位当作1美元。
02:25
Now a dollar has four quarters, right?
33
133105
5962
1美元有4个25美分，对吧？
02:31
And so does a 4/4 measure of music.
34
139067
3856
一个4/4拍也是一样。
02:34
It has four quarter notes.
35
142923
3643
有4个四分音符。
02:38
Now, how do you subdivide?
36
146566
2236
那要再怎么分呢？
02:40
Now let's envision this:
37
148802
4392
我们这么想像一下：
02:45
three dollars' worth of quarters.
38
153194
3753
有3美元，都是25美分一个的硬币。
02:48
You would have three groups of four,
39
156947
4020
就是3组，每组4个，
02:52
and you would count it,
40
160967
1577
你会这么数，
02:54
a-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
41
162544
2012
1-2-3-4，1-2-3-4，
02:56
one-two-three-four. Together.
42
164556
2027
1-2-3-4。一起来。
02:58
All: A-one-two-three-four,
one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four.
one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four.
43
166583
3384
一起：1-2-3-4，1-2-3-4，1-2-3-4。
03:01
CC: Okay, now you feel that?
44
169967
2257
克莱顿•卡梅隆：好了，有感觉了吧？
03:04
Now let's take those three groups of four
45
172224
4960
现在，把这3组，每组4个，
03:09
and make them four groups of three.
46
177184
4419
变成4组，每组3个。
03:13
And listen to this.
47
181603
1833
听好了。
03:15
A-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
48
183436
2055
1-2-3-4，1-2-3-4，
03:17
one-two-three-four, with me.
49
185491
2142
1-2-3-4，一起来。
03:19
One-two-three-four, one-two-three, come on, y'all!
50
187633
2682

克莱顿•卡梅隆：这就对了。
03:28
All right, second line.
53
196882
4329
好了，第二线。
03:34
One-two-three-four, one-two-three.
54

beat, and do the same thing.
63
227523
2692
克莱顿•卡梅隆：好，现在再用摇摆节奏同样试下。
04:02
One, two, one, two, a-one-two-three-four.

66
244056
3538
1-2-3，1-2-3，1-2-3，1-2-3。嚯。
04:21
So I want to take the second line beat
67
249764
3815
现在我要把第二线节奏
04:25
and the swing beat and put them together,
68
253579
2061
和摇摆节奏放到一起，
04:27
and it sounds something like this.
69
255640
2591
听起来就是这样。
04:43
Aha.
70
271380

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.
