count 1 - 2 - 3? Same as rudiments, just gotta get used to em', lotta our concert band music last couple months has had weird time sigs and alotta 3/4 for some reason, so I guess it's easier, but yea...anything based off x/4 is easy, it's all played the same as most everything you hear in most music(4/4) so yea...iono, just don't count 4.
O yea, count out loud

helps loads.
