Klar til å danse der du sitter? Trommeslager Clayton Cameron bryter ned for oss, forskjellige sjangre av musikk - fra RnB til Latin-Amerikansk og pop - og viser oss deres sanne rytmer.
Dette er en fremvisning som beviser at hip-hop og jazz ikke er kulere enn matematikk - enkelt og greit så er de avhengige av matte.

Now, one thing all those rhythms have in common
14
73942

En ting alle de rytmene har felles
01:31
is math,
15
79313
1685
er matematikk -
01:32
and I call it a-rhythm-etic.
16

- og jeg kaller det "a-rhythm-etic".

21

1437
Yeah.
01:50
Now all those styles of rhythm
22
98687
5242
Nå - alle de rytmene
01:55
are all counted in four
23
103929
3167
er talt opp i fire
01:59
and then subdivided by three.
24
107096
3887
og så subdividert på tre.
02:02
What?
25
110983
1853
Hvaaaa?
02:04
Yeah. Three is a magic number.
26
112836
3597
Ja - tre er et magisk nummer.
02:08
Three is a groovin' number.
27
116433
2490
Tre er et tall som svinger.
02:10
Three is a hip-hop kind of number.
28
118923
3852
Tre er et hip-hop-tall.
02:14
But what does subdividing by three mean?
29
122775
2429
Men hva betyr det å subdividere på tre?
02:17
And counting off by four?
30
125204
1817
... og å telle opp på fire?
02:19
Well, look, think of it this way.
31
127021
2347
Vel, se det på denne måten;
02:21
A measure of music as a dollar.
32
129368
3737
Et mål på musikk, likt en dollar.
02:25
Now a dollar has four quarters, right?
33
133105
5962
Så, en dollar har fire kvarter (25 cent), sant?
02:31
And so does a 4/4 measure of music.
34
139067
3856
Og det har også et 4/4 mål på musikk.
02:34
It has four quarter notes.
35
142923
3643
Den har fire kvartnoter.
02:38
Now, how do you subdivide?
36
146566
2236
Så hvordan subdividerer du?
02:40
Now let's envision this:
37
148802
4392
La oss se for oss dette:
02:45
three dollars' worth of quarters.
38
153194
3753
Kvarter med en totalverdi på 3 dollar.
02:48
You would have three groups of four,
39
156947
4020
Da vil du ha tre grupper av 4,
02:52
and you would count it,
40
160967
1577
og vi vil telle det;
02:54
a-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
41
162544
2012
og, EN-to-tre-fir, EN-to-tre-fir,
02:56
one-two-three-four. Together.
42
164556
2027
EN-to-tre-fir - alle sammen;
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

(Publikum: EN-to-tre-fir,
EN-to-tre-fir, EN-to-tre-fir...)
EN-to-tre-fir, EN-to-tre-fir...)
03:01
CC: Okay, now you feel that?
44
169967
2257
Okay, fatter dere?
03:04
Now let's take those three groups of four
45
172224
4960
Nå, la oss ta de tre gruppene med 4...
03:09
and make them four groups of three.
46
177184
4419
og gjøre de til fire grupper med 3,
03:13
And listen to this.
47
181603
1833
og hør på dette;
03:15
A-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
48
183436
2055
og, EN-to-tre-FIR, en-to-TRE-fir,
en-TO-tre-fir,
en-TO-tre-fir,
03:17
one-two-three-four, with me.
49
185491
2142
EN-to-tre-FIR - med meg, nå;
03:19
One-two-three-four, one-two-three, come on, y'all!
50
187633
2682
EN-to-tre-FIR, en-to-TRE - kom igjen dere!...
03:22
All: One-two-three-four,
one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four, ah.
one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four, ah.

1645
Der ser dere!
03:28
All right, second line.
53

04:21
So I want to take the second line beat
67
249764
3815
Nå ønsker jeg å ta "second line"-rytmen
04:25
and the swing beat and put them together,
68
253579
2061
og swing-rytmen og putte de sammen,
04:27
and it sounds something like this.
69

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.
