I had figured out the rhythm on my own, but this confirmed what I thought it was. Personally, I think the second approach will be the easiest way to understand it.

My advice is to consider any polyrythms as a linear rythm. As far as rythm is concerned it's really only maths and time division. What i did for example to play 6 on my Left Hand, 5 on my Right hand and 4 on my right foot for example is quite simple : I trace a line on a paper, make to marks. Then i subdivide this unit by 6, and 5 and 4. This give you a visualisation of how the notes are place each other. Then try to sing it. Once you master it vocaly. Apply it very slowly with your hands and feet. Once you master the sequence, mentally isolate each part of your body to make it very consistent. This is very effective and the foundation of any independance exercices on drums. Yves Hi,
