Counting 32nd Notes On Drums!

Shoutout to channel members Colin, Matt, Mark, Steve and many others who have asked about the counting of 32nd notes (in simple time).

Here we’re talking about using a single stroke sticking - of course drummers often use double strokes, or indeed other stickings to play 32nd notes. But I’m a big fane of sticking to single strokes at first, when getting the feel for this note value.

My playlist of videos about music theory/note values/counting for drummers is here:    • How To Read Drum Music

Mike Barnes Drums Amazon Shop

I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend. It doesn’t cost any more to buy from this store than it does from regular Amazon, but you’d be supporting this channel by doing so, which would be very much appreciated!:
