A fifteen-minute polyrhythm practice routine
Choose a tempo where you can keep both parts even. Start with 3:2 and keep swing, offset and humanize at zero. Use a different sound for each voice so the two parts are easy to hear. The aim is to keep their spacing steady through the full cycle, including the gap before the next shared downbeat.
Spend two minutes hearing the layers separately: Hear Base for one minute, then Hear Counter for one minute. Tap the base with your foot and sing the counter. Spend the next three minutes on Both, following the six-slot Grid until you recognise the combined pattern.
For three minutes, carry a muted part yourself or use Tap along to get timing feedback. Practise one voice first, then both. Spend four minutes repeating the process with 4:3, or staying on 3:2 at the tempo where your taps are most even.
Use the last three minutes to transfer the pattern to your instrument. Assign a voice to each hand, or keep one in your foot while playing the other. Practice tools can add silent cycles when you are ready to hold the rhythm without the guide. Save a favourite or copy a preset link so the next session starts with the same rhythm.
