About these rhythms - Polyrhythms or Cross Rhythms

These have several rhythms played together, for instance if you clap three beats to a bar, and your friend claps four beats in the same bar, then together you will play a polyrhythm. Polyrhythms are common in African and Indian music, also used by many modern composers. In some African music, the practice of cross rhythms is thought to help with unease of mind and self doubt and is used to develop intrepidity.

"Intrepidness, or resolute fearlessness, in Anlo-Ewe view, is an extraordinary strength of mind. It raises the mind above the troubles, disorders and emotions which the anticipation or sight of great perils is calculated to excite. It is by this strength that ordinary people become heroes, by maintaining themselves in a tranquil state of mind and preserving the free use of their reason under most surprising and terrible circumstances. "
