What Is Half-Time/Regular-Time/Double-Time On Drums?

Get asked about this loads in lessons so thought I’d post a short video about it! – what is half-time, regular-time and double-time on drums and in music?

    I know this is an old video but it was super helpful. I grew up with a kit n guitars in the house no one ever taught me anything other than by watching them n never took lessons but at this point after taking in and dissecting so much music Ive gotten to the point where I can figure most anything out n get very close after practicing enough. But to watch something like this quickly n be able to get a little more understanding of what I'm doing is invaluable to the process when writing n jamming cuz guys be killing me sometimes about know having the technical knowledge to speak music with them. Thank you again!
