I don’t have a drummer, but you might be the one to ask about another piece. All of it’s in 4/4 except the main riff, which is (I think) 6/8. I really want to do a polyrhythm but I’m not sure how to make it flow with the straight 4/4 stuff. Any ideas?
I looked that guy up, but couldn’t find him talking about 3:2. But I found another video that showed 3:2 AND 2:3 and one of those fit perfectly. I didn’t realise I could simplify it to 3 and 2 - I was trying to find 4/4 over 6/8 and all sorts of nonsense. 3 and 2. Simple. Cheers.

Any 3:2 polyrhythm will work. Look up Pete Magadini on YouTube and learn to count 6:4 (same as 3:2). Also, buy his book: http://www.petermagadini.com/portfolio/polyrhythms-the-musicians-guide/.
