Polyrhythms or Cross Rhythms Metronome
You get all these metronomes with Bounce Metronome Pro

Intro skip

If you clap three beats to a measure, and your friend claps four beat in the same time as your three beats, you are playing a polyrhythm. Or you can play both parts yourself.

Polyrhythms are used in many traditions such as African drumming and Indian music. The Pygmies are particularly noted for their complex polyrhythms, and Ligeti was influenced by their music. Also commonly used in Jazz and other modern musical genres. Chopin is an example of a classical composer who often uses polyrhythmic phrases such as 7 over 6.

Audo Clips

For the same audio clips as separately downloadable files, see Polyrhythms (Cross rhythms)

Video Clip

For more videos see the Polyrhythms Videos or the 3/4 over 4/4 Polyrhythm page.

Some drummers, organists, and other musicians may be able to play four such rhythms simultaneously, e.g. with each hand and each foot playing a separate rhythm.

Buy Bounce Metronome Pro to help practice polyrhythms

Bounce Metronome Pro can play any polyrhythms no matter how complex. The Bounce visuals help you learn to keep time in all the separate rhythms in the polyrhythm.

Screen Shot (doesn't play notes)

Main window set up to play 3 and 4 beats per bar simultaneously, with other polyrhythm presets, tempo dial and bouncing balls display

 

The bouncing balls bounce in opposite directions for the polyrhythms - this makes it easier to distinguish the bounces for the different rhythms by eye.

As with the Basic Metronome, you can accent or unaccent beats with RIGHT CLICK, skip beats with LEFT CLICK, adjust beat volumes with MIDDLE CLICK or SHIFT + LEFT CLICK. For details see the page about the Basic metronome.

You can also adjust timings of individual beats, practice with a gradually changing tempo, or add a lilt to the bar timings. For more about this see the page about the Pro metronome.

Screen shot for 2, 3, 5 and 7 beats to the bar

skip - skip back

Main window set up to play 2 3 5 and 7 beats per bar simultaneously with split display for the 2 and 3 in right half and 5 with 7 in left half of the bouncing balls display

When you have many rhythms played simultaneously, then it can help distinguish the bounces if you split the display up into several sections with two rhythms only in each section (or you may prefer to have just one rhythm in each section).

You can set the number of bouncing balls per section in the Bounce Preferences (Ctrl + 220) window.

Here is what it sounds like: 2 with 3 with 5 with 7 / 4 - polyrhythm
