Bodek Janke Workshop – Master Advanced Rhythms in One Day

Play What You Can’t Count.

Odd meters. Polyrhythms. Complex time signatures that make your brain hurt. This workshop breaks them down until they feel natural.

Bodek Janke—drummer, percussionist, and rhythm architect—teaches you the foundation for playing advanced rhythmic concepts with confidence and precision.

What You’ll Master:

• Odd meters (5/4, 7/8, 9/8, 11/8 and beyond)
• Polyrhythms (3 over 4, 5 over 4, layered patterns)
• Advanced metric modulation
• Subdivision mastery and internal pulse control
• Applying complex rhythms to your instrument (drums, percussion, any melodic instrument)
• Practice methods to internalize difficult patterns

Walk out solid. After one day, polyrhythms and odd meters won’t intimidate you—they’ll be tools you control.

No matter your instrument: drums, bass, guitar, keys, production—rhythm is rhythm. If you can tap it, you can play it.
