🥁 KONNAKOL: Counting to 2—A Deep Dive into Polyrhythms & Subdivisions! 🥁
Think counting to 2 is easy? Think again! In this creative Konnakol tutorial, I show you how building polyrhythm skills with just two beats can unlock a world of rhythmic potential. We’ll explore 9 different subdivision levels and reveal how two simple notes (“Ta-Ka”) can generate complex musical patterns.
What’s Inside?
Polyrhythms: Learn how to stack divisions like 3:2, 4:2, 5:2, up to 9:2—clapping two beats while singing all nine levels of subdivision.
Real-Time Demos:
At 1:00 – Demonstration of all 9 polyrhythm layers on a single beat (singing subdivisions & keeping the pulse)
At 2:11 – Main exercise begins: I clap 2 beats, then change through each subdivision layer, singing “Ta-Ka” for each cycle.
Polyrhythm Layers Explored:
1:2, 2:2 (straight), 3:2, 4:2, 5:2, 6:2, 7:2, 8:2, 9:2
— See how just two notes can create endless rhythmic variety!
