How do you count staff notes?
Beginning on the bottom of the staff and going up, the notes spell face. You can use sentences to remember the other notes. Again, starting on the bottom line and moving up, the notes on the lines of the staff are E, G, B, D, and F, letters that begin the words of the sentence Every good boy does fine.

A thirty-second note sustains for one-eighth of a beat in simple meter. The thirty-second note can be written in two ways: either with three beams or three flags.
How many 32nd notes are in a quarter?
For more counting exercises, check out Successful Drumming. In this theory lesson, you will learn how to count and play thirty-second notes. They are likely to be the greatest sub-division you will play on the drums. There are eight 32nd notes for every quarter note pulse.
How many 16th notes can you count on a fingerboard?

How are the notes counted in the second exercise?
In the second exercise, there is a measure of sixteenth notes leading into a measure of thirty-second notes. The count here doesn’t change through both measures. You simply play two notes for every count in the second measure. This may seem complicated at first, but after you watch the video lesson – it will all make sense.
What’s the best way to count out rhythm?
