The answer depends on how 'time signature' is set, and depends on the tempo.


The key is learning to count beats. If you know how to count beats, it's easy::
in 4/4 timesig.,
ONE BAR == FOUR BEATS.
16 BARS == (wait for it) SIXTY FOUR BEATS.


Imagine a basic beat "Kick Snare K-Kick Snare" right?
that is 4 beats:: 1 2 3 4 lined up like that.
Practise tapping your foot along with it .

1 Bar = 4 Beats (in a 4/4 time Sig)
4 Beats= 1,2,3,4 (Kik on the 1 and 3, Snare on the 2 and 4)

Damn, sleepersriddle you beat me to it.

just count the snares,.. every 2 snares is one bar.

that is if you put 2 snares per bar.

obviously!

most hip hop beats have 2 snares per bar.

do any of yall pros ever make anything in 2/4 or 3/4. if so why would you. id really like to hear it so i can listen and practice countin it out. ive never heard anything thing in those time signatures ever or maybe i just aint listening hard enough. i have a music theory book and it goes into it, its got the cds and everything, but most music i listen too, i just dont hear it bein used.

tbh, i dont really know about all that ish.. all i know is i make hip hop beats and i can count the bars on my beats and other hip hop beats so thats all i need to know
