7:5 polyrhythm lesson

How to practise 7 against 5

Practice 7 against 5 with a free online polyrhythm generator, visual metronome, tempo control, shareable link, and advanced counting guidance.

01

Slow the base pulse

Start around 50–60 BPM so the thirty-five-slot cycle has room to become familiar.

02

Isolate each side

Use the base and counter controls separately before listening to both layers together.

03

Memorise the combined shape

Once the cycle is stable, stop counting every slot and remember the composite rhythm as a phrase.
