Does it or doesn't it have count value? Ultimately as long as what is written is played, "count" value is an intellectual exercise that has no bearing on the music itself. This leads back to grace notes and "count" value. Not only do you strike a note, but you give it duration. Consider what happens with a grace note on timpanis or bells? With these instruments, the notation not only directs you to start a note, but also when to stop it. When you consider what role these dynamic effects can play on other percussive instruments, the open range of notation starts to make sense. On a snare drum these differences are limited to accents, anit-accents or ghost notes and stick control. The rythmic pattern of a flam in rudimental drumming can be played with the grace and the primary note coming on the count, just as both the grace and primary note can be graced or ghosted. With my experiences with concert and symphonic drumming, you play what is writeen. If the grace note is played on the count, then it only makes sense that a grace note has "count" value. This seems to answer some of why there is a debate about "count" value of a grace note. Unless I've misread some of what was written in the Trad Advice thread, and in private messages that's not what some others have learned or are teaching. When I started wiith rudimental drumming I was taught that the primary or principle note of a flam is played on the count.
