    1. @@zzzaphod8507 it’ll be 30 years old this september. first appeared in 1994 on windows NT 3.5, released on the 21st night of september, love was changing the minds of pretenders.

  1. 3 for dbl. tresillo: (well, I don’t know if the third counts)
    “In The Air Tonight” fill
    “The Distance” (Cake) riff
    (maybe) Never Gonna Give You Up (the famous fill is very similar to the one from In The Air Tonight)
    9:20 In “Ranking Polyrhythms,” after hearing 5:4 Shawn says, quote, “We [Sungazer] do that on… ‘Machina.'”
    Skank: “Just A Girl” (No Doubt- most prominent in the synth combo, I think)
    Gallop: William Tell Overture finale and it feels like that’s what John’s playing in the intro to Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da!

    1. A 5:4 Polyrhythm also shows up in the clarinet melody of Modul 29_14 by Nik Bartsch

    2. I was thinking of Spiderwebs by No Doubt for Skank. I’m sure they had a few more.

  2. I know you gave many examples for the double tresillo, but I still can’t believe one of them wasn’t Pinball Wizard!

    1. I was waiting for him to mention Myxomatosis as an example… would I be wrong in thinking that it could be described as a double tresillo rhythm?

    2. ​@@amnesomniacThe rhythm for Myxomatosis goes further than just a double tresillo tho

  3. Congrats on that gold play button!!! I saw your late night (in the US anyway lol) stream celebrating it actually happening and it’s an awesome achievement— well deserved!!

  4. Congratulation on your gold play button! Well deserved, keep up the great work!

  5. Congratulations on the gold play button, David. Yes, your videos have helped me see music differently when I’m thinking about chords to add to a melody for a church service; for instance, thanks to you I better understand 7 chords and why I sometimes chose them for a song even though I tended not to like them (I choose them a little more now). Also, from you I now know the name of a trick with which I may end a song: the Picardy third.

  6. small correction, that’s not the correct rhythm for raining blood by slayer – it leads with the sixteenth-notes, so you get two sixteenth-notes followed by an eighth-note, rather than the typical gallop

  7. I just got an Robinhood ad with Babara Ann Rhythm right after showing examples of songs that used Babara Ann.

  8. You can find the Habanera rhythm in a pop song literally called Carmen by Stromae that interpolates the original song

  9. Congratulations David, upon reaching a million subscribers. Your channel is hands down one of my favorite and most useful channel in Youtube. I have learned so much from your channel and look forward to years ahead. Kudos to you David.

  10. Nothing better than when you’re lazing around the house on a Sunday afternoon and you see a new David Bennett video has dropped.

  11. I have a couple examples. “Have a Nice Day” by Bon Jovi uses the Double Tresillo. And “Subdivisions” by Rush does the Barbara Ann rhythm but in 7/4 time.

    Btw, Congratulations on the golden play button, David! You deserve it!

    1. RIP Neil Peart. He did pretty much all the writing. Good Ear on the Subdivisions rhythm. 👍🎵

  12. The Gallop happens in classical as well, in the beginning of Grieg’s Holberg Suite for example.

    Congrats on the gold play button! Certainly deserved!

  13. Pretty sure half the songs using the Barbera Ann rhythm are inspired by “You Can’t Hurry Love” specifically

  14. After I retired, I started digging deeper into my love of songwriting and performing. David, though I’m old enough to be your grandfather, your videos have taught me so much, brought be joy, and kept me interested in music when things are tough. Honestly surprised you weren’t at a million viewers long ago. Many congratulations, sir.

  15. The “Apocalypse in 9/8” section of “Supper’s Ready” by Genesis is the other famous usage of the Aksak rhythm in Western popular music.

  16. A lot of Cumbias, especially in Mexico, have a Gallup rhythm to them. It’s also there in many Quebecois (French Canadian) traditional & folk, and Celtic folk/traditional as well.

  17. Congratulations David !!! You earned it. Your content is novel, high quality, interesting and educational. It’s obvious you put in a lot of time and research into each of your videos. Among my favourite music video Youtube channel for sure. I’m always excited each time you post a new video.
