I'm a left handed drummer I.E. Phil Collins, Rod Morgenstien and this excersise was excellent...especially playing it in traditional grip...thank you so much for this!....felt good to slow down again and relearning how to play, read, and count
U r a great teacher I dunno how to do a beat and I got into band cause there was too less people auditioning.😢(I just did the beat randomly) I finally learned a beat cause of ‘tis video
Hey! Each note, whether whole, half, quarter, sixteenth, etc has a value that helps you understand rhythm and timing. It really doesn’t have anything to do with the space between the notes on a page. The spaces exist to make it easier to read the notes. Feel free to provide a bit more context if I’ve misunderstood your question!
It would be played for a shorter duration. It's not quite a sharp, or stinger, note. But it's also not as long as a full quarter note. I hope this helped even a bit.
You are a great teacher but I am struggling because this is all very very new to me. I am a drummer but have never learnt how to drum. I just knew how to play, I cant explain it. it was just a gift from God. as I am getting older, Ive challenged myself to go back to the basics e.g paradiddles, rudiments and actually sit down and learn the theory of drumming and reading notations etc. I have a question... what is the correlation between tempo and notations? if i were to read a sheet, what would tell me the tempo I should be playing at? also, how is it possible to have 6/8? i thought a measure could only hold 4 soundable beats, regardless of their note values. I'm so sorry if I'm not making sense but if you could help me understand a bit more i would appreciate that. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work! New subscriber
Hey, I appreciate the compliment. Good for you, challenging yourself to go back to the basics! I played for years without studying or learning hand technique or rudiments, and going back to the basics opened up all kinds of doors for me. Good questions. Normally you'll find the tempo notated at the top of the sheet music. If you're playing a piece in 4/4, you'll see a quarter note = and then the tempo. On the second question, reviewing this part of the video about time signature will help you out: ua-cam.com/video/NqkZtwdn64U/v-deo.html. Measures can be divided up in lots of different ways, not just four beats. Happy drumming!
The difference between those two meters is the pulse. If you listened to eighth notes with accents on the beats for both time signatures you would hear one note between each accent in 3/4 (two eighths per beat) and two notes between each accent in 6/8 (three notes per beat). Listening to eighth notes like this would work for any meter over 4 or 8, and you could tell which type of meter you're in based off of the eighth note subdivision (that type of accent pattern)
@@samfoster5442 but would you not count 3/4 as 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 as its 3 quater notes. therefore logic would suggest that you would count 6/8 as 1 and 2 and 3 and which is 6 eigth notes? I have always been told to count 6/8 as 1 2 3 4 5 6 , which is just 2 lots of 3/4? Am i completely barking up the wrong tree -) you can see why a beginner would find this confusing..
I understand why its confusing, and it might help if you understand triplets. 6/8 is called a compound meter, meaning it has a triplet feel. It's actually more comparable to 2/4, because if you counted 6/8 with accents on 1 and 4 it would have exactly 2 beats with an eighth note triplet subdivision. Looking at any meter over 8 is better viewed as a meter over 4 with eighth note triplets instead of normal eighth notes. To figure out how many beats in a measure just divide the top number by three. If you need more clarifications just ask
@@samfoster5442 Hi Sam, first off i appreciate your time in talking to me any answering my quesions, so thank you. As an example of what im getting lost in is, if I play 6/8 with the back beat on 4, i cant se the diffrence of playing triplets with the back beat on 2 and 4? Every thing lines up exactly. So in my head 3/4 is just a single 8th note triplet or 1 2 3 is the same as 1 trip let, or to take that out further 4 bars of 3/4 could just be counted as 1 T L 2 T L 3 T L 4 T L? Therfore 6/8 = 1 T L 2 T L which would be 1 bar. i find it easier to count triplets rather than 1/4 or 8s . As an example the Song "jesus just left chicago " by ZZ top, is far easier to count in triplets rather than 6/8. Im assuming that song is in 6/8? Im going to make myslf look like a fool here, Im sure. -).
What are you doing! You should go to Las Vegas and get a job as a night club singer at the Flamingo! You have the Bobby Darin hair cut 💇♂️ The Bobby Darin finger snap 🫰 You can swing a big band! But your going to have to learn to smoke cigarettes, pipe and hold your own at the liquor 🥃 bar with your band buddies!
Thank you so much. I'm trying to teach my beginner members in my drumline, and it's so difficult when not with them. This will help so much. Thanks!!!
Awesome! Happy to be a part of that :)
Im a brand new drummer and been in the dark playing.Thanks so much for lessons on part 1 and 2.Its been a real blessing.
Regards
You are more than welcome. Love seeing this!
You have thought me more about reading drum notation more than my instructor did in a month of lessons😅 really good video. Thank you so much mate 👍
So glad I could help!
U deserve so much more recognition!!
Keep it up
Hey, thanks a lot! I appreciate it.
Thank you so much. This is really useful for as a newbie drummer as well as a good refreshment as piano player
You bet! Glad you found it helpful.

That's awesome, so glad the video helped. Keep it up!
So simple and thorough. Appreciate this Sir.
Yes! Love hearing that. You got it
U r a great teacher I dunno how to do a beat and I got into band cause there was too less people auditioning.😢(I just did the beat randomly) I finally learned a beat cause of ‘tis video
Glad I could help!
simple, thorough, adequately explained. thanks so much
Sure thing, thanks for watching!
Simple and easy to understand, Thanks alot!
You bet! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Wow I actually understand!! Thank you for this video from a very very newbie drummer. 👍🏻🥁

Thanks this helps !
Nicely explained..Thank you so much. :)
You bet, glad it was helpful!
Thank you sooo much brother
You got it!
so whole note and the half note are for timing and spacing between notes ? sorry I'm still learning

@@tempoleaguedrums nope you got it 👍
what's the difference between 1. a quarter note and 2. an eighth note followed by an eighth rest?
It would be played for a shorter duration. It's not quite a sharp, or stinger, note. But it's also not as long as a full quarter note. I hope this helped even a bit.
Asadharan 👍🏻
Thanks!
Wow grazie!
Merci
Wow2 very2 interesting,🥰🥰🥰🥰😍
Thanks for checking it out!
Tempo ..note are related to math...4=2/8=4/16.....
I choose keep it greasy by Frank Zappa and was not able to find the pulse.
It’s there :)

started with so much promise but lost after 3 minutes. still no idea what the bottom number means. why is 3/4 different to 6/8?
