Now, one thing all those rhythms have in common
14
73942
5371
Un lucru pe care toate ritmurile îl au în comun
01:31
is math,
15
79313
1685
este matematica.
01:32
and I call it a-rhythm-etic.
16
80998
2702
Eu o numesc a-ritm-atică.
01:35
Can you repeat after me? A-rhythm-etic.
Audience: A-rhythm-etic.

21

CC: Așa.
01:50
Now all those styles of rhythm
22
98687
5242
Toate stiluile de ritm
01:55
are all counted in four
23
103929
3167
sunt numărate în patru
01:59
and then subdivided by three.
24
107096
3887
și apoi subdivizate în trei.
02:02
What?
25
110983
1853
De ce?
02:04
Yeah. Three is a magic number.
26
112836
3597
Da. Trei e un număr magic.
02:08
Three is a groovin' number.
27
116433
2490
Trei e nu număr impar
02:10
Three is a hip-hop kind of number.
28
118923
3852
E un fel de număr hip-hop.
02:14
But what does subdividing by three mean?
29
122775
2429
Dar ce înseamnă subdivizare în trei?
02:17
And counting off by four?
30
125204
1817
Dar numărând patru?
02:19
Well, look, think of it this way.
31
127021
2347
Gântiți-vă așa.
02:21
A measure of music as a dollar.
32
129368
3737
O măsură de muzică e ca un dolar.
02:25
Now a dollar has four quarters, right?
33
133105
5962
Un dolar are patru sferturi.
02:31
And so does a 4/4 measure of music.
34
139067
3856
La fel şi 4/4 măsuri de musică.
02:34
It has four quarter notes.
35
142923
3643
Are patru sferuri.
02:38
Now, how do you subdivide?
36
146566
2236
Să vedem.
02:40
Now let's envision this:
37
148802
4392
Să ne imaginăm:
02:45
three dollars' worth of quarters.
38
153194
3753
Trei dolari în monede de sfert.
02:48
You would have three groups of four,
39
156947
4020
Ai avea trei grupări de patru,
02:52
and you would count it,
40
160967
1577
și vei număra,
02:54
a-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
41
162544
2012
unu-doi-trei-patru, unu-doi-trei-patru,
02:56
one-two-three-four. Together.
42
164556
2027
unu-doi-trei-patru. Împreună.
02:58
All: A-one-two-three-four,
one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four.
one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four.

Toţi：Unu-doi-trei-patru,
Unu-doi-trei-patru, unu-doi-trei-patru.
Unu-doi-trei-patru, unu-doi-trei-patru.
03:01
CC: Okay, now you feel that?
44
169967
2257
CC: Bine, simţiţi ritmul?
03:04
Now let's take those three groups of four
45
172224
4960
Acum să luăm cele trei grupe de patru.
03:09
and make them four groups of three.
46
177184
4419
și le facem patru grupuri de trei.
03:13
And listen to this.
47
181603
1833
Ascultați.
03:15
A-one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,
48
183436
2055

04:21
So I want to take the second line beat
67
249764
3815
Vreau să iau a doua linie de ritm
04:25
and the swing beat and put them together,
68
253579
2061
și ritmul modificat și le pun împreună,
04:27
and it sounds something like this.
69
255640

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.
