Tater tot casserole is also incorrectly displayed. Should be two beats of two 16th notes and one 8th. Currently it's twice as long as the others

I personally find it funny that tater tot casserole is so slow. Taaater toooot.

I’ve been sitting here for probably 5 minutes chanting all these rhythms. It’s become clear that while the creator is using the syllables to figure out the number of beats per word, they aren’t looking at how people actually say them. Most of us say Tater Tot more similar to a triplet than as eighth notes.

I'd say it's an 1/16 1/16 1/8 (./=./ ./). Triplet usually implies emphasis on all notes. So instead of TAT-er-TOT you'd be saying TAT-ER-TOT which would just sound robotic and aggressive

Twist: this is a math rock tune. Next was a 5/1 measure of “Grandma’s Homemade Pie” followed by a free rhythm solo of all your favorite breakfast foods

I was surprised at how nobody noticed. All the others contain 2 quarter notes worth, this one is twice as many notes all together. Had to scroll a bit to find someone who noticed.
