HOW TO COUNT BARS ON A RAP BEAT (IMPROVE RAP FLOW)

  • In the video I will demonstrate how to count the bars and beats in a rap beat. This will help anyone trying to improve rap flow and rhythm. This will also help a rapper to stay on beat because he will know how to find each beat in a given measure. A measure is a bar in rap music terms.
    This was a video I realesed weeks ago on The Rap Coach Patreon. On there, I cover EVERYTHING you need in order to take your music to the next level. I go beyond the surface level and show you the techniques and methods that are used in so many successful songs. Your music is your most important marketing tool, if the quality is subpar everything else will suffer. It all starts with the music and that’s why I’ve created the Rap Coach Patreon. We have tiers starting at $1

    You are worthy to call yourself the rap coach. Many people are trying to find a flow. But by understanding and feeling the snares you don't try anymore but you do. But it would be more helpfull if you used multiple beats instead of just one. So people can hear the different flows
