Right way to count this?

Is this the right way to count this? I’m stuck…although I’ll be damned if I can count this out at speed vs just internalizing it

Yes. It could be notated better. The third beat would look like a dotted eighth and a sixteenth tied to the first sixteenth of the fourth beat.

Ooof.
+1,000,000 to that.
I’d trainwreck that rhythm if I saw it on a page.

The rhythm that @Mikich described would be no problem.
Visual patterns are how we read fast syncopations, so if you monkey with those, it’ll really mess with the head.

Found an alternative transcription. Still can’t play at speed, but at least understand it better.
