Musical understanding comes natural.. don't be decieved. The hard part is actually playing it without errors. Ur brain is capable of memorising anything if challenged enough. But muscle memory and muscle control is something u can't control and avoid. This is what should be appreciated instead. It's hard work to make it even 1 time perfectly on time. Insane drums composition.

he's just going from straight 16ths into 32nd hertas. and there's no 16th hertas here. just playing displaced ones in different sibdivisions

[@mahockey3]

+djent is totally a genre well a herta consists of two 32nd notes followed by two 16th notes (in this case), so I just put the dash there. When I put "16th/32nd" I was talking about one herta, with the 32nd note being the fastest note and the 16th being the slowest.

[@combatwombatt]

+Morgan Aubin hertas will always be followed by the last 2 notes being lower than the first 2 notes in terms of value (16th, 8th ect) just making sure you're not confused because 16th note passsages with 16th note hertas would sound alot slower. just making sure you don't confuse yourself bruh.
