If anyone has seen what us drummers practice, it's usually rhythms on one horizontally extending line (no vertical movement, which denotes change of pitch), meant for just the snare drum. The bass drum is the foundation of a drum set, being the lowest voice, and thus usually acts as a sparse, clearly stated voice for finding the beat - this line goes under the snare drum's. Add in a cymbal, that usually plays a part twice or four times as busy as the other parts, and that part is notated at the top of the staff. <BR/><BR/>I say all this because looking at a drum set part, you can literally see a traditionally broken up building (base, middle, crown) in the notes. As you look from the bass drum part up to the cymbal's, the more each beat (structural bay) is divided, just as you find the largest windows on the first floor. <BR/>This won't work for many instruments, as the concept of changing pitch muddies up clear translations, but it should also be noted that drumming is so very math based. <BR/><BR/>Not only must we be able to "keep time," (not rush or drag the speed), we learn how to subdivide every rhythm down into 2's or 3's...... a beat in 7 would be broken down as 1-2 1-2 1-2-3 or maybe the 1-2-3 would go at the beginning or middle, depends on the song. But regardless it's a matter of finding out where the underlying beat emphasis relies, and thus acting as the foundation for the song and band, much as architecture really acts as the practical foundation to the art world. I can literally walk down the streets here in Boston and verbalize what I see in the beautiful old stock.
