It would give about 0.1 to 4 seconds of music (if you made it awfully slow).Д«ut fitting in, say, 400 instead of 4 notes wouldnвЂ™t be helpful either, because unless youвЂ™re an advanced musician, you need to count notes to be able to follow along.

Well, 4 notes for an entire piece of music wouldnвЂ™t be cool. a part of your sheet more on that in a secondвЂ¦). Rather, focus on the number at the top which tells youВ how many notes can fit into a bar (i.e. It will be placed at the very beginning of each piece of drum sheet music and you can safely ignore the number at the bottom for now. And the most important symbol of this layer is this: When to play a note is where the second layer of symbols comes in. But how do you know when to play it? Time Signature So know you know which cymbal or drum a certain piece of sheet music tells you to play.

The easiest way to remember / make sense of these positions is to recognize that the height of a note in the 5-line system approximates to where you play the associated drum / cymbal.ДЇor instance: You play the bass drum and hi-hat foot with вЂ“ guess what- your feet so they are furthest down in the staff. Always play the hi-hat unless stated otherwise. That the hi-hat and the ride cymbal sit on the same line.The drums are signified by вЂњproperвЂќ notes while the cymbals are signified by little Xs.There are various version of this so-called вЂњdrum keyвЂќ, but once you get the concept you can read вЂ™em all. LetвЂ™s first look at where each drum or cymbal sits on the staff. And these will tell us whether to hit a cymbal or a certain drumвЂ¦ Note Placement or вЂњthe Drum KeyвЂќ The only thing you need to know here is that the staff is made up of five lines on which our notes will be placed. And the first layer, the groundwork, is the musical staff: Think of drum sheet music as a set of 2 layers of symbols. It is the visual representation of the played music.
