cheers back at you.. but regardless of the COUNT or MEASURE... you still got to keep rhythm....... it is the same rhythm = beat ........ , I don't care if you playing Brass, winds, woods or whatever you got to keep rhythm/count..... F it up and the whole song is screwed....
unless there is some new way of doing it that I am clueless about..... but then again I study the guitar/banjo/mandalon..... I don't play no brass
the drums or bass ( or both ) are the ones that "keep rhythm" .... or "keep count".......... if the Drummer or Bass is no good then none of you are........ ( am thinking Tuba for Bass in this scenario, since we talking brass... )
but again, cheers
