             RHYTHM & PERCUSSION
						 
             Rhythm and percussion can be a little confusing at least for me but certain genres have certain cliches
             and techniques that go into the rhythm and percussion so let's talk about it 
						 
             also little disclaimer i will be using the american way of talking about rhythm and not using english
             terms like crotchets or quavers because A the american system is so much better and b the american 
             system is just the german system translated to english
