Just wanted to say thank you. You break things down so easy and make it simple. I have already improved just from your videos. Keep em coming. I was just caught in the circle. Rudiments in the morning on the pad and playing the same groves on the kit. You broke through that wall and I can't thank you enough.

Absolutely love your channel 👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩

[@matthosscomedy]

This is always been so confusing for me, great video! Love this channel :D

[@sweetdragon36067]

Very good!!! Thankfully I use a Roland TD-17KVX that has a built-in metronome for me to set and practice. It also allows me to play music and speed-up or slow- down the song if needed. Very handy for learning complicated pieces.

[@markielinhart]

Super stuff, I was hoping you’d cover 5/4 a little more - I’m trying to learn Take Five. Love your work✌️❤️

I found a really old piece of piano sheet music from the early 1900s and the time sig printed was was the number 4 over an actual quarter note symbol. Seeing it this way is what made it click after years of confusion. The top number can be any number reasonably up to 12. Higher numbers are rare but possible. The bottom number will always be either 2, 4, or 8 and in rare cases 16.

Great videos! What drum set do you use here?

[@pootle8139]

It doesn't matter many explanations I come across, I don't get how a bar can be made of 7 8ths, or 3 4ths. If its divided into 3 equal parts, what makes them quarter notes? Quarter of what?

[@derricksmith7971]

I will say something, and it might sound quite ignorant. However. Generally, speaking strictly for reference, when you first start playing drums, you might count, quite literally. In my experience, the more you play the less you count, and the more you feel. You can’t swing if you anticipate the beat all the time. Let it go, let it flow. ✌🏻

[@sweetdragon36067]

This means that you can do different levels of time travel within a bar? 4/4 is no time travel but using 16th notes allows a great deal of time travel within the bar? 🤪

[@agape-dikaia]

Thank you this was nice and simple explanation. But I noticed in most video you go so fast, do you also have some videos for very beginners, slow down please. Even YT cannot go slow enough.

15/16 is basically 3/4 + 3 16ths. (Or 4/4 which is 16/16 minus one 16th) 1e+a 2e+a 3e+a 123 Not that scary.
