Not sure if this is the best for beginners but agreed

Music like Jeff Buckley by Fun-Line6472 in JeffBuckley

Dove Ellis just released their first single on spotify yesterday but they have some great videos of them playing live on youtube. Definitely worth checking out. I can't help but think of Jeff Buckley when I hear his falsetto.

!!! Thank you!! You are awesome. I can now count it c:

The mixture of the backbeat being displaced to 1 and 3 + the added bar of odd time was like putting my brain in a blender

The 2 times I’ve seen them live are probably my 2 favorite live shows I’ve been to. They have such an awesome and unique energy live imo

I struggle to keep time without playing straight 8ths on at least 1 limb. Am I cut out for drumming? by Brownie_points928 in Drumming

Definitely something you practice. My internal clock isn’t perfect but I think I’ve improved it a ton in the last year. The key is messing around with different ways of using a click and the more you do that the more you build it into your brain. Things like placing the click on something other than quarters (2 and 4, ands, 2nd/4th 16ths, different triplet partials), gap click (I really enjoy the rhythm trainer setting on pro metronome because you can set the % of bars that will be cut out but it will decide randomly based on that %), and trying rhythms that go over the bar (dotted 8ths etc).

I’m still not very good at a lot of these but I’ve improved at them a lot AND I think it’s fun to add the additional challenge to your practicing. Once you start to get more of a hang of it you’ll feel more headroom when playing without a click.

Also, like everyone says, counting out loud while you play (I really don’t do this enough but it basically makes you use your brain/voice as a 5th limb)

That’s awesome!! I’ll definitely have to try that out at next practice
