Target search intent: 3 over 4 polyrhythm, drum polyrhythm counting, how to practice 5 over 4.

How to use it

  • Pick a common ratio or type your own between 2 and 9.
  • Choose whether the cycle should fit into one beat, two beats, or a full 4/4 bar.
  • Use the lane labels to map the idea onto your kit instead of thinking in abstract numbers only.
  • The downbeat and shared-hit cells show where both voices realign.

The page uses one common spoken-count suggestion per voice. Different teachers use different syllables, but the spacing is the important part.
