Mixed Beat

Mixed beats refer to the combination of multiple different beats or rhythm patterns in music

In mixed beats, different beats can alternate or coexist between different instruments or parts.

Mixed beats often appear in modern music, jazz, and some non Western traditional music.

Mixed beat refers to a type of beat that includes both single and composite beats. The first mixed beat we need to learn is 5/8, which includes a single beat and a composite beat
The order of beats is not important, if the composite beat appears first, it will still be 5/8 beats
Next, we will learn a mixed beat with three beats, with a 7/8 beat consisting of two single beats and one double beat
Similarly, the order of beats is not important
Composite beats can even be placed between two single beats
8/8 shots include two repetitions and one single shot
Sometimes, people confuse 8/8 with 4/4 because both have 8 octaves
Please note that 4/4 divides the measure into four groups of two octaves (single quartet), while 8/8 is divided into three mixed beats
The last two mixed beats have a total of four beats, with two composite beats and two single beats on 10/8 beats
The 11/8 shot has three repetitions and one single shot
