I'm eight years deep buddy, thats all the way right.

Your eight years full of ****. Obviously you have no formal music training or you would know with syncopated rythms and rythms in general the snare does not always have to fall on the 2 and 4.

That is why i said you are partially correct. You would have been more correct saying in basic 4/4 time you have 4 beats per Bar, 4 Bars per measure. Adding the additional info of saying that every 2 snares is a bar IS partially correct if the beat is always a 1 and 3, 2 and 4....but not if the beat is not straight like that.

Oh yeah, i am also years deep, but the difference is I actually play drums and know how to count, know what a 32 bar AABA is, know what odd time is, etc, etc. See, i actually studied jazz in college and still take drum and percussion lessons for "years deep" as you would say

Step your game up buddy

the easiest thing you can do is just listen to a metrononme set to 4/4 and each 4 clicks is a bar. Usually the first click is accented to let you know it is a new bar
