Part 1 and 2 I was thinking "I see how they do this. It totally makes sense. Part 3 I'm thinking "why do they make this so difficult" lol

Great video! I find dotted notes very confusing, but then again I'm very new to music theory in general

[@garfieldjamesson1234]

I'm so looking forward to your next video! Stoked to learn how to write drum notes :D

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Stay tuned, bud 👊🔥

[@AliceDjinger]

Thank you so much for the explanation! I still can't understand why not use pauses though 😅

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

It all depends on how you read the notes, and especially which instrument you play. Again - tonal instruments shows in a more clear way that dotted notes sound "longer". Drums usually don't have that many "long" notes. But also, it can look cleaner in the transcripts by not having a bunch of rests in the notes ^^

[@aeumurolake9563]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Happy to help out!

[@djshad1885]

It can be tricky sight reading dotted eigths and quarters together. But it is a good trick to isolate them to keep them tight and focused. Dont play them separately...but read them separately.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Indeed!

[@jennieturner9496]

I gotta work on your other videos first before I tackle these notes haha. Thanks for your work!!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Don’t stress yourself! You’re gonna be fine ✊🔥

[@alliedavidson4175]

You explained it very clearly. It's been several years since I played my drumset and I completely forgot what a dotted note is.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Thanks!! :D

Thanks!🙏

[@lalruatdika2494]

So if a dotted quarter note is equal to one and half note, that means two dotted would take the time of three quarter note. Is that correct?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Correct!

[@illnino1368]

🔥🔥🔥

[@AuroraClair]

I get it in theory, but I find it so hard to implement in practice. I get confused while counting

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I totally get that! That's why it's important to practice while counting out loud. It might seem tedious, but counting out loud helps your brain focus on doing several things at once. Just like reading a text out loud helps you remember the text better :)

[@yoyoz333]

...or, we could just write the note however, and still know how to play it

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

What do you mean?

[@yoyoz333]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer I mean that if you wrote out drum tabs for yourself to read and you wrote all the bass drum notes as 1/4 notes, regardless of where they are in the bar, you don't really need to write all the rests or dot all of the notes. You see the bass drum note and where it aligns with the hi-hat and the rest of the beat, and you can get away not having to be theoretically perfect.

[@yoyoz333]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer but I want to be clear, that I appreciate this video. It's been very helpful, however I have gotten by without knowing the completely correct way to do it. Thats all I meant.
