hello i'm new here and hope this question isn't to silly but i really need help with understanding this so i don't do it wrong.

When playing over backing tracks how do I count the beats with the track? do i count the snare? cymbals? ect.. I just don't understand backing tracks! sad.gif but I know how to play with a metronome. This is something so basic and easy but i'm so clueless on it. Hope you all can help me understand it more.

It depends what kind of backing do you have, but for simpler 4/4 backings, the kick is usually on the first beat in the bar. Start by saying "1" from the kick, and "2" on the snare, and so forth. If you are having problems, post the backing here that you want to count to, and I'll create small video response to help you go through it.
