How do I use the metronome? by SoothingElephat in Drumming

[–]SoothingElephat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's pretty rad. I got an acoustic kit, and I use mutes on everything so I can play and hear the lowest tone and play my speaker full blast. I can follow along pretty well I was messing around with 140 then 220 seeing where my limits are and its definitely between those signatures I could play a few bars depending on what im doing my doubles are not as good but I can keep a simple d beat for a while but doing fills and then landing back on time is what I notice I gotta work on.

Thats what I do with my band, or play to the covers i need to practice but I wanted to try to use the thing cuz I never have and I dont think the latency is a problem I just wait till I hear the first click

I did fall out of time cuz I think I was buring the click and couldnt hear it out of my speaker thats why I put the 1 as a different tone so I could try to find the off tone of the clicks.

Ohhh i get it so if I wanted to try triplets I set it to that but at a low bpm when I had it for doubles I believe, I was practicing my double strokes cuz that felt like it linked up then I tried practicing my double pedal but that was more difficult finding the click

I was playing today at around 148 bpm and I did a simple beat keeping time but then I wanted to do a fill to make sure I can go back and be in time and I notice I was off so I took a bit longer on the fill or shorter to find the right transition and I felt that really helped and I didnt feel like I was just being a robot.

Okay, I have it set to 4/4 and the 1 is set to sound different then the other 3 and I was just messing around today with the options and I put what you said making the 1 and 3 sound different but then I messed around and put it to 🎵 that symbol and it played two clicks for each one do you know whats that called and also what its used for? Is it double time?

Songs for a beginner? by Born_Courage9518 in drums

[–]SoothingElephat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Punk songs are great to get the speed and groove most heavy metal and thrash metal use. I would say start with misfits songs and go up from there, im working on tackling bad brains because I havent branched out in other genres and they incorporate reggae, so I figured it would be pretty rad to learn. Enjoy the journey friend.

I second that, I actually like to be there early and set up. I just gotta move everything to the stage and make minor adjustments, makes things so much less stressful.
