Time signature accents on drum set?
If the below doesn't make sense, I'm basically asking when does the snare versus the bass get used? On what kind of beats?
So in 4/4, 1 is a strong beat and 3 is a relatively strong/medium beat and then 2 and 4 are weak beats, right? So on the drums, 1 and 3 get the base and 2 and 4 get the snare. Which to me means strongish beats get the bass and weaker ones get the snare. So on a 7/8 count, I know it can be counted 3 ways so let's go with a 3/8 + 4/8. So it would be STRONG weak weak STRONG weak STRONG weak, right? I play that first strong with the bass drum, the second strong with the snare and the bass again on the third strong. So am I playing it wrong or is the second strong actually "weak" but still stronger than the ones I have labeled weak right now? Since I'm using my snare?
Thanks!

Where did that paragraph below come from? It is absolute nonsense. It is literally the silliest thing I've ever read relating to drum playing.

Strong weak weak strong weak weak strong/ strong weak weak, strong, weak weak strong/
bass snare snare bass snare snare bass/bass snare snare bass snare snare bass
bass on 1, 4, 7. Or vice versa snare on 1, 4, 7. Going vice versa also works on 4/4 depends on what it is you want to do. But the pulse is 1-4-7, for the most part.
