Wut?

if you take one section of a song and count to 4, try clapping on the 1st and 3rd seconds and hear how wrong it is

But I like songs in 6/8 time.

personally I like 4/5

never done that, but I've dealt with a lot basic time signatures, and few pieces where the composer decided switching a lot was a delightful idea. I don't really have a preference. 8+ years of playing clarinet says all I need to do is practice to play well. Not brilliantly, but quite well. I also have it to thank for knowing about my current favorite piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLFF-7xqvxA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS CLAP ON 1 and 3

or if it's a two step in 2/4

Clap on the "and" of the beat XD

haha yeah that sounds about right

at least they're clapping to a rhythm of sorts...

unlike some who have no rhythm at all.

It's a bit natural for people to want to clap on 1 and 3, as it's the stronger pulse of the beat when writing music. Somewhat interesting, it is. Maybe some people just feel the stronger beat on those.

Then again, it does depend on how the song's written.

I know what you mean, especially when i'm drumming. XD

YES. THIS TIMES A JILLION.
