Counting/Feeling 5 AGAINST 4

[NSJ]

Try 3 and 5 against 4 together... there's an mbase exercise for that

Don't know about this exercise, but I have been trying to put various poly-rhythms together in a unitary way, quarter note triplets (2 v 3) and half note triplets (3 v4), as well as dotted quarter v. quarter.

I tried to see how it worked last night, playing at a private dinner party.

Didn't really pull it off. Back to the shed.

Adding 5 v 4 to 2 v 3, 3 v 4 and quarter v dotted quarter, and being able to mix and match these at will, will sound pretty good.

But it's a really daunting thing to work out and internalize. At least for me.

For me this kind of things helps :

I saw a clip of Dizzy Gillespie in which he said that when playing in 5/4 he would repeat, in his head, the phrase:

"Who parked the car? I did! Who parked the car? I did!"

Wow, that really swings. I'm just sitting here saying it in my head and can hear the drums behind it.

I say it in my head and I hear Take 5.

What would you do for the rhythm in "The Eleven" by the Grateful Dead?
