i have a metronome and theres gotta be something i dont understand about these things ,

ex. now when someone says there playing at 200bpm's theres gotta be something else to it cause i always thought that was really fast but its actually kinda slow i think

just need some help any help would be cool

peace

Usually, playing at 200 bpm is playing 'quarter notes'(four notes per beat) at 200 bpm. That means that if you had to have a 'tic' for every note played, it would be 800 bpm... Now that's fast!!

that makes a little more sense, what other notes are there i think there is 32nd notes 16th notes so on correct me if i wrong.

thanks peace

In fact you have whole, half, quarter, eight and so on (just divide by 2). Same thing for silences.

I love the way 32 notes look!! But damn, they're fast.

how do i know what im playing in,

does that make sense?

peace

If you play a note every 'clic' you play in quarter notes
of you play two, you play eighth
if you play 3 you play triplets
if you play four, you play 16th
if you play eight you play 32nds

If you play a note every two clics you play half notes (the ones who are not filled in)
If you play a note every 4 clics, then it's the longest one (round and no stem, don't know its name in english)
