    i actually wanted to post a standard message but i had no time to do that. Actually what i meant was is off counting really meant for free styling or we can stylishly add it to a piece of music as it goes on. people are always like why do u impede my dancing with dos off or odd timing stlyes!

    hmm...well..Ill give this a shot- Dont get me wrong..im 17 and have been playing for 3 years and I still no nothing soo...

    Counting time:
    4/4 time= 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
    counting the number and saying "and" for every +
    3/4 time= 1 + 2 + 3 +
    2/4 time= 1 + 2 +

    now if your reading real music sheets (not tabs online) it will give u what the time is and then you will be able to play accordingly- unfortunatly i cant go into detail without a visiual representation...if this is anything like the answers you were looking for then Ill hit you back on it

    Yes I agree. I try to get to the point where I don't need to count, just express. Besides, counting serves no purpose except to verbalize. Indian tabla drummers have syllables for each different stroke of the drum.... for example... Te re ke te Ta ka Duh na tu na. The only thing you need is a steady pulse. If you can sing it in time, you can play it in time.

    BTW, welcome to the group MeditativeDrumming. Your thoughts are refreshing.

    The Indian symbols are also a method of counting. It's not different in my opinion.
    I believe counting is necessary in the beginning especially with younger players, and when working on more advanced rhythms. That said, "just expressing" would be the next step. Moving beyond counting as a crutch and feeling the pulse as you mentioned.
