Description:

In 12/8 time, there are 12 beats per measure. Eighth notes are counted the way quarter notes are counted in 4/4 time, meaning that each eighth note takes up a beat (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12). Counting up to twelve can be a mouthful. So, many drummers count 12/8 as two bars of 6 (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Some drummers prefer to count 12/8 as four sets of eighth note triplets (i.e. 1 trip let, 2 trip let, 3 trip let, 4 trip let) or (1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a).
