Musical Rhythm 8th and 16th notes

The most common eight note and sixteenth note rhythms. I go through the same rhythm with the written notes, with the counting at 100 beats per second, and slowed down at 70 beats per second. I used a fantom x8 to create most of the sounds and then played them through a line 6 podxt to add some effects. I programmed all the drums right in my sequencer software (sonar 3!) The visuals were created with Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0. (Except the note images which were exported from Finale. This exercise is a suppliment to the exercises for my book "How to Read Musical Rhythm Like a Genius". Check out http://www.Patternpiano.com for more info.

@hmfvunit Please don't set the metronome to 8ths or 16ths! Keep it on the beat (quarter notes, usually)

Ok question, how do you count one eight note followed by two sixteenth notes? For example, counting eighth notes is "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and".

[sesameseed77]

@WonderlandAudiobooks "One and uh" Kind of like "dash dot dot" in Morse code.

Can i get some help I get really confused on a part how is 1 e + different compared to 2 + a counting wise I am really confused with that part.

Thank you five stars.

@mcspaznoob

"e +" is the 16th note division of the first two 16th notes in the beat. "+ a" is the 16th note division of the last two 16th notes in a beat. "e +" creates three evenly divided "strikes" but the last one is help out twice as long. Kind of like morse code "dot dot dash", ". . - ". "+ a" is the opposite - "dash dot dot", "- . . ". The second half of the measure is two sixteen notes. If you had an eight and two sixteeths, you would count the number of the beat and then "+ a".
