Guys I am looking at a half time groove by Chad Smith and want to verify my counting really quick...

http://www.kevoshea.com/transcriptions/Chad Smith - Halftime Groove.pdf

Here is my counting for measure one:

1-2-and-3-and-4-and

Here is my counting for measure two:

1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and-a

Here is my counting for measure three:

1-and-2-e-and-a-3-e-and-a-4-and-a

And for measure four:

1-and-a-2-e-and-a-3-and-4-and

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance!

in the 3rd measure beat 4 is

4 e - a

Looking at measure three , beat 4 - the one I had wrong - why are there little sixteenth note flags on the snare hits but not on the kick hit? All three notes are sixteenth notes right?

that is just how that rhythm is written

the only beat missing is the + (and)

for 4e+ the second beam would connect to the quarter note
for 4-+a it would connect to the outside of the +
... and the broken 16th that is missing the + is written as you see that in beat 4

a good break down here
