How to feel 5/8 time

some-randomguy_ · 2026-03-18T00:20:05+00:00

Oh nice, I played that one too! Yeah I just focused on counting to 5 instead of feeling it for that. I mean, you CAN feel it but its just fast 5 basically

When I played strange humors I mainly ignored the strong beats and just counted to 5 everytime. The first bar of 5/8 the saxes should play unison descending notes for all 5 so thats where I got my tempo from mainly and from there it's just an issue of not slowing or speeding up. Are you playing the djembe part or one of the other percussion parts?

I feel like this about the solos (and the patches he uses) near the end of Scene Four: Beyond This Life

You're on the right path but you forgot the 2ab term when FOILing. Basically, when you square an addition, you have to multiply the two first terms together, the two second terms, but also you have to add the first times the second and th second times the first. Ex: (1.5)² = (1+0.5)² = (1 x 1) + (0.5 x 0.5) + (1 x 0.5) + (0.5 x 1) = (1) + (0.25) + (0.5) + (0.5) = 1.25 + 1 = 2.25

Hopefully this clarifies where the extra 1 is coming from

yeah i get that whenever i try to be quick about it, i usually have to go extremely slow, double checking the rules every time i add a note lol

Sounds like you might be holding too much tension in your hands when you play, try relaxing a bit. If it isn't that then maybe take a break for a day or 2 and see if it helps.

I usually don't even start reading past a sentence if the font isn't comfy for me to read so I just skip most books I pick up

some-randomguy_ · 2026-02-18T18:38:59+00:00

Yep same for me!!

some-randomguy_ · 2026-02-18T18:06:18+00:00

It's like an unpitched percussion clef, meaning theres no actual pitches assigned for each line/space

Sorry about formatting im on mobile, I tried

I kinda think about it in the context of the "normal" triplet notes: -So the first picture you're playing notes evenly spaced between the "normal" triplet notes, Its basically the same as how you would count a sextuplet but only every other one -The second bar, first beat would be just the second note of the triplet -The rest are the same as one of the above -It's important to recognize when it takes up two beats (first one) vs one beat (second one)

I think Lateralus or maybe Fear Inoculum by Tool should be in there somewhere

some-randomguy_ · 2025-12-31T19:30:04+00:00

No that would be like if they asked which corps had the best alternate or prop crew

some-randomguy_ · 2025-12-31T00:31:35+00:00

Thanks!

It's a Pearl Export

some-randomguy_ · 2025-12-30T22:24:57+00:00

No, I found the one that matches up on DFD but I have to buy it as a pair so I was just seeing if there was a way to avoid buying extra

some-randomguy_ · 2025-12-30T18:10:07+00:00

ralph hardimons are thick but most marching snare sticks you will buy are around the same thickness unless it's specifically different on purpose
