Hey Jory,

Well done :) I have tried to explain this so many times, but you nailed it :)

Hi Jori.

Regarding timing of grace notes...... I was taught that they are played before the beat. But now I have been tolled that they are played on the beat...... great. But when you play STB with the right grace notes, you do not play all grace notes ON the beat,- the grip from the high A in bar 2 is played to the beat.... not on the beat. I am a pro drummer for 30 years,- so timing is my middle name...... can you tell me more on that?
