Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks again for the encouragement.   Now for more questions.  When 
it comes to music, I play by feel I dont understand "time" in the 
musical sense ie. what is 4/4 what is 2/4  where can I read about 
this or listen to samples.  I guess what I am playing is 4/4?
