maybe do need to do a couple of simple theory lessons.
because if your playing you must be following the rythm in some form.
If your playing alone your actually setting the beat.
So try thinking of it as when your playing with someone you have to play together or it would be a mess of notes.
Because there is the time , 4/4, 6/8 8/12
and then there is the tab and value of notes
4/4 with quarter notes would be 1 beat per metronome click but 8th notes would be 2 notes per click sometimes with a heavier strum on the metronome click
So,, in 4/4 playing 8th notes you are playing 8 notes in a bar but the rythm, the beat is on 4 notes per bar
So in drumming it would most likely be the bass drum on the beat and a snare or cymbal playing the other notes.
try to find a free trial for Guitar tricks or only join for one year with a discount.
You will quickly find lessons to take you through all these points.
Probably even find some on good old youtube
and when you think you have the idea someone will then mention Swing beat just to throw you off again.
But again, if your playing you probably ''have it'' your just not sure what the ''It '' actually is
