00:27
I mean, I love all kinds of rhythm.
3
15595
3943
Dakle, volim različite vrste ritmova.
00:31
I like to play jazz,

Volim svirati jazz,
00:33
a little funk,

01:05
And this groove right here,
10

4504
A ovaj ritam ovdje,
01:13
comes from the Crescent City,
11
61584
2429
dolazi iz Crescent Cityja
01:16
the old second line.
12
64013
2447
stari "second line" ritam.
01:18
(Cheers)

(Navijanje)
01:25
Now, one thing all those rhythms have in common
14
73942
5371
E sad, ono što svi ti ritmovi imaju zajedničko
01:31
is math,
15
79313
1685
je matematika,
01:32
and I call it a-rhythm-etic.
16
80998
2702
i ja to zovem ritam-atika.
01:35
Can you repeat after me? A-rhythm-etic.

CC: Tako je.
01:50
Now all those styles of rhythm
22
98687
5242
Svi ovi stilovi ritma
01:55
are all counted in four
23
103929
3167
se odbrojavaju po četiri
01:59
and then subdivided by three.
24
107096
3887
a zatim dijele s tri.
02:02
What?
25
110983
1853
Što?
02:04
Yeah. Three is a magic number.
26
112836
3597
Da. Tri je magična brojka.
02:08
Three is a groovin' number.
27
116433
2490
Tri je "groovin" brojka.
02:10
Three is a hip-hop kind of number.
28
118923
3852
Tri je hip hop tip broja.
02:14
But what does subdividing by three mean?
29
122775
2429
Ali što znači dijeljenje s tri?
02:17
And counting off by four?
30
125204
1817
I odbrojavati po četiri?
02:19
Well, look, think of it this way.
31
127021
2347
Pa, gledajte, zamislite to na ovaj način.
02:21
A measure of music as a dollar.
32
129368
3737
Mjera za glazbu je jedan dolar.
02:25
Now a dollar has four quarters, right?
33
133105
5962
A dolar ima četiri četvrtine, zar ne?
02:31
And so does a 4/4 measure of music.
34
139067
3856
Pa tako i 4/4 mjera u glazbi.
02:34
It has four quarter notes.
35
142923
3643
Ima četiri četvrtinke.
02:38
Now, how do you subdivide?
36
146566
2236
A sada, kako to dijelite?
02:40
Now let's envision this:
37
148802
4392
Sad zamislite ovo:
02:45
three dollars' worth of quarters.
38
153194
3753
četvrtine vrijedne tri dolara.
02:48
You would have three groups of four,
39
156947
4020
Imali biste tri grupe po četiri,
02:52
and you would count it,
40
160967
1577
i zbrajali biste ih,
02:54
a-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
41
162544
2012
jedan-dva-tri-četiri, jedan-dva-tri-četiri,
02:56
one-two-three-four. Together.
42
164556
2027
jedan-dva-tri-četiri. Zajedno.
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

Svi: Jedan-dva-tri-četiri,
jedan-dva-tri-četiri, jedan-dva-tri-četiri.
jedan-dva-tri-četiri, jedan-dva-tri-četiri.
03:01
CC: Okay, now you feel that?
44
169967
2257
CC: Dobro, osjećate li sada to?
03:04
Now let's take those three groups of four
45
172224
4960
Ajmo sada uzeti one tri grupe od četiri
03:09
and make them four groups of three.
46
177184
4419
i napraviti od njih četiri grupe po tri.
03:13
And listen to this.
47
181603
1833
I poslušajte ovo.
03:15
A-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
48
183436
2055
Jedan-dva-tri-četiri, jedan-dva-tri-četiri,
03:17
one-two-three-four, with me.
49
185491
2142
jedan-dva-tri-četiri, sa mnom.
03:19
One-two-three-four, one-two-three, come on, y'all!
50

52
195237
1645
CC: Evo ga.
03:28
All right, second line.
53
196882
4329
Tako je, "second line".
03:34
One-two-three-four, one-two-three.

jedam-dva-tri, jedan-dva-tri. Uuu.
jedam-dva-tri, jedan-dva-tri. Uuu.
04:21
So I want to take the second line beat
67
249764
3815
Želim povezati "second line" ritam
04:25
and the swing beat and put them together,
68
253579
2061
i swing ritam,
04:27
and it sounds something like this.
69
255640
2591
a to zvuči ovako.
04:43
Aha.
70
271380

76
284963
2424
Sada koristi bržu grupu od tri
04:59
we call a triplet.
77
287387
2319
koju zovemo tercet.
05:01
Triplet-triplet. Say it with me.

81
300883
3225
CC: I tako uzmem sve ritmove
koje ste čuli ranije
koje ste čuli ranije
05:16
we'll put them together, and they sound like this.

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.
