breakbeat hardcore reverse, time 

stretching, and pitch shifting can 

be added to the beat. Polyrhythm 

is the simultaneous use of two 

or more conflicting rhythms 

that are not readily 

perceived as 

deriving 

from one 

another, or as simple 

manifestations of the same meter

The rhythmic conflict may be the 

basis of an entire piece of music, 

cross-rhythm, or a momentary 

disruption. Polyrhythms can 

be distinguished from 

irrational rhythms, 

which can occur 

within the 

context of a 

single part; polyrhythms 

require at least two rhythms to be 

played concurrently, one of which is 

typically an irrational rhythm. Vocal

background and appearing in the 

middle of the tune, wicked
