This piano player has an interesting interpretation of the 5/4 time signature. Just watch this video and see if anything sounds strange…

That’s like me trying to play 5/4 on drums. I just count to 5 but play whatever I want. How did that video ever get to post-production?

first time around i was all “yea, cool” though i wasn’t focused because i was chatting with a certain drummer…. upon watching again, i’m embarrassed on more than one level.

my favorite part was at the very end when he just stopped playing and kept counting… amazing.

Thank you Steve. This really made my Monday morning extra special. 1345 – 2234 – 5532
I love how he never counted completely to five when he played the riff

Thanks Ekspert Villidje! Tim, instead of counting like he did, he just needed to count 1-2-345 – 1-2-345 and it would have timed out (in his mind).

I just noticed Ethan had mentioned it on “Do The Math” blog.
I had gotten the link from cymbalholic.com
His explanation of “free jazz” and small group jazz trios is hilarious.
Good stuff.
