in a sense, yes. but when you do your rolls you may want to change the T.C. on the hats.

say you are doing a beat at 1/16, when you get to your roll, change the T.C. to 1/32. (depending on how fast you want your roll to be)



Tempo also plays a part in establishing your roll.

If you listen to dirty south music especially 3 6 mafia they will record their tempo very slow i.e 70bpm. If that is the case they roll to sound like 64th notes.

Dj's down here like those tempos because U can ovelap a mix at 140 bpm and make bass music remixes.

1/32 is cool but check where the bpm is

Actually beats like 3 6 maffia are double timed. So instead of 70bpm they use 140bm and they roll wit 16th's

what i do sometimes eg with the hihats is like

record HH with note repeat (hold) at 1/8 then switch to 1/8(3) while recording.

why not try to experiment with that a bit ;-)
