people that play drums or music well – if you're playing a beat say with the cymbal and bass, are these two separate tracks to you: bass and cymbal or one track where they're interleaved?

put another way, can you seamlessly play the beat with one hand while the other stops or starts?

i can't do two different things with one hand each. i feel like im capable of a single track and i play the notes or rhythm as one beat after the other. the same for piano.

Playing drums or piano requires a unique coordination that comes with practice. It might feel like separate tracks initially, but over time, your brain learns to weave them together effortlessly. Keep practicing, and you'll find your rhythm becoming more intuitive and fluid!
