I know what you are saying... But for those who don't understand this comment... With 6/8... Each measure adds up to 6 eighth notes and the 8th note gets the beat. With 2/4, each measure adds up to two quarter notes and the quarter note gets the beat. But... in 2/4, if you subdivide each quarter into 8th triplets, then it can "feel" the same as 6/8 in terms of the meter. But they are still two different time signatures. You can write something in 6/8 or in "2/4 with all triplets" and they can be made to sound identical, but they will look a little different. That would actually make a good video. Thanks @drum-jitsu
@@drum-jitsu You certainly can... The benefit of using the triple meter time sigs is that you don't need to write the "tuplet" above each group of three 8th triplets. They each become their own 8th note... and the benefit to that is if you are playing say 32nd triplets on one of those 8th notes... Like a Ratamacue or single stroke 4... In 2/4 you'd have a nested tuplet... or a tuplet inside a tuplet. That can get confusing. Using 6/8 or 9/8 eliminates that. So the writing can be a little more streamlined.
Best explanation I've seen so far
Helpful. Thanks!
Great explanation! Thanks
Excellent!
Great explanation Jay!
thx Glenn
Very informative ❤
🤯
When in doubt, count everything in 1/16 😃

Ye i agree with that
Was the idiots way my drum teacher from the 90s taught the 8th time to me
I always used 3/4 for 9 /8 and 4/4 for 12 /8 more as reference for remembrance
