Wondering how to add a little polyrhythmic spice to your 4/4 grooves? In this video, we use Ableton Live to show you how to take a simple audio loop in four and combine it with MIDI grooves in 3/4 and 4/4 (8 bars long), to create something entirely new and unique.
The audio loops used in this video come from Dry Drums Vol 1 and the MIDI loops are from Nothing But Three and Long Loops.

Thanks for posting this. I play bass, some keys and guitar and totally fumble when trying to tap or write drum patterns. Usually I sing something and convert to midi in Live.
This might be an answer to a tune I’ve got that feels 4 but has a triplet over the top for the chords.
Okay, gonna get busy now.. Thanks! t
What’s up Ryan—-Do you have a tutorial for how to use drum tracks in Reason..I’m new to this DAW recording..thanks I greatly appreciate it.
Great stuff! Love the creative video editing!
Cool idea with the 3/4 layered over 4/4 – thanks Ryan!
Thank you for this..
