Holy shit this helped me so much thank you
You’re most welcome 🙏
Thank you for the clear and concise video.
You are the best teacher I found on you tube dude. No one has the patience that you have to explain stuff like this.
Thank you my friend!
Great explanation. Thanks.
I understand time signatures perfectly fine. But, I watched this twice just to hear you talk about it. ✌🏼
Hahahaha
I always said the time signature answers two questions… top answers “how many?” and bottom answers “what kind?”
Hasn’t failed my students yet!
That’s it 👏🏻
Learning every day, thanks!
Good stuff, God bless❤
Thank you!
I don't play instruments, but I used to play piano and I remember the two numbers at the beginning of a sheet of music. If I pick up playing piano again this will be useful, thanks!
No worries and I hope you do
THANKS FOR EXPLAINING THE "ONE AND A..." AND "ONE E AND A TWO E..." ❤❤❤❤❤

Yeah… that ones called “painting the basement!”
Thank you reading has been a problem for me my whole life and I studied with some of the best drummers and teachers all the sudden you caught my attention at 64 I guess it's not to late to start to learn again
Feel free to check out my Study The Drums App and Join my email list at thedrummersalmanac.com ...I'd be happy to help you out!
What were you painting right before you made this video?
What's the difference between a measure and a bar?
It all just Terminology… you can call it a bar or a measure …there is no difference.
Nice. I taught myself that x/8 would have 8th notes counted as 1,2,3.... And 16th notes would be counted as 1 and 2 and 3.... Wow what if I actually took lessons. Lol
That’s correct… if there is an 8 on the bottom. 👍🏻
so actually when you have 6/8 you should count 6 pulses with a rhythm of 1/8?
Like
(1)ONE-two-three
(2)ONE-two-three
(3)ONE-two-three
(4)ONE-two-three
(5)ONE-two-three
(6)ONE-two-three.
Where (N) is the "pulse number" having ONE as accent. Am i right?
6/8 would be 6 beats (counts) in the measure… that’s the “6” part… now replace that 6 on top with a 1… and you get the fraction of 1/8. That means the 8th note sounds the same as the count… so there are 6 eighth notes in the measure and those 8th notes are counted 123456… This has nothing to do with tempo but if you started subdividing…
16th notes would be 1&2&3&4&5&6&… 32nds would be
1e&a 2e&a 3e&a 4e&a 5e&a 6e&a ….

I think I kinda got it, but what defines which notes are counted which way?
4th notes 1&2&3&4& 8th notes 1 2 3 4
16th notes 1&2&3&4&
32th notes 1e&a...
Is there a reason for this?
@@viciousfrog4158 which ever number is on the bottom of a time signature tells you which note is counted as the beat: 1234 …once that is established all other subdivisions of that note follow suit.
@@viciousfrog4158 ...The reason has to do with context... You see a lot of time signature changes in classical music when they want to say extend a phrase into a new bar... For example... you are playing all 16th notes but at the end of the measure there are three extra... you can tag on a bar of 3/16 to finish out the phrase... Other times, it's just for the look of the music. Cut Time (2/2) is usually at a fast tempo, so seeing quarters and 8ths instead of seeing 8ths and 16ths make the music look less frantic.
@@Thedrummersalmanac thanks a lot for explaining, never saw a youtuber who takes so much time to help with understanding in comments, keep it up
I get it but why? Why have any other note that isn’t 4 on the bottom of a time signature?
It changes the quality of how you think about the beat. For ex: 7/8 is only a one-8th-note difference from 4/4… but a measure of 7/8 does not divide equally into quarter notes. (It would be like 3.5/4) so you make 8th notes the beat instead.
Cut time is 2/2… that’s makes 1/2 notes the beat, which means quarter notes would be counted as common 8th notes and 8th notes would be counted as common 16ths. This makes the music look less frantic at bright March tempos.
Classical music uses multiple time signatures in mixed meter all the time. If they was to add three 16th notes to a measure of 4/4 they’ll just slap a measure of 3/16 in there.
@@Thedrummersalmanac This single comment finally made it click for me! Thank you 2 years after the fact.
@@KH-pw8qz that’s awesome… glad it helped…
I cannot find a video to explain time signatures to me. None of them are explaining any of the questions I have. How can you (7/8) have seven beats in a measure and have an eighth note represent one beat one mathematically that doesn't make sense 🤯 So if you put a whole note in a measure it's supposed to mean 7 beats but seven isn't evenly divided by eighths. I don't get it 🙄
I think the teacher isn’t answering you because he knows you’re joking.
It’s not like fractions; a time signature looks like a fraction but it isn’t one.
The bottom number can be 2-4-8 or 16 but that only represents the kind of note that gets a beat. The top number says how many of those beats to expect.
I got you, Joe... I just uploaded a full lesson video that goes deep into the theory of time signatures for you... ua-cam.com/video/sWjiKvgcR-Y/v-deo.html
What’s up with your fingers??
Painting…
This confused me more
how many

of what
Perfect 👍🏻 😊
Even more confusing but then again, idk shit about music
That’s a problem if you’re trying to understand what a time signature is lol. It’s not really a beginner concept.
@@Thedrummersalmanac it’s like I understand 4/4 and 3/4 but when it turns into 8th and what not, my brain is scrambling for comprehension lol
@@stuffstuff8942so real
realest comment here lmao. How are you finding it 9 months on
