Hi. I need to know a good explanation of temp 4/4 time with the beats to a measure. So say you have a drum grid 16 notes as usual. What do each of those notes represent a 16th note right? Or wrong?

If they do represent a 16th note what is the actual time of the note at 60 b.p.m? This is what confuses me. I know 4/4 time is each quarter note gets one beat or whatever so each quarter note would be one second long.

But when you have a drum grid with 16 notes,how does that work?

I hope that makes sense and if not I'll try to come up with a better explanation
Thanks
