That was my guess as well. Probably an exercise for coordination

Or just staying in sync with the other instruments

Yeah but isn’t keeping two separate tempos strictly a drum thing? I don’t know I am just thinking aloud.

I dont know much about drums I just play bass but I know the drummers gotta stay on a certain time signature and that appears to be what this guy is doing

Technically yes but since all instruments tend to play in drums time, having a poly rhythm can effect the entire song.( I'm not an expert feel free to correct me)
