New Tricks

I think I learned something new today.
First, I am not a musician, just a wannabe drummer. I have been paid to play a few hundred times, in the olden days.
I knew of the rudiments but never paid much attention. Same thing with the technical end of music. I just listened, learned songs and played.
In my comeback attempt I have focused on rudiments, and retraining my left foot to play double kicks. In a month I have made enough progress to keep me encouraged. I was pounding out combinations of single stroke rolls, double stroke rolls and paradiddles, pretty clean in what I think is 4/4 time at 160 (two kicks per) on the metronome.
Well, today I THINK I accidentally learned what 3/4 time is and now I have to spend another week starting almost from scratch. I was trying to play some old licks at the same tempo and was like, WTH? It took me several minutes to understand what had happened.
Crap. This stuff is complicated
