Metronomes can be fun

Another video of me practicing for the camera. This time trying to emphasize the importance of good time with an exercise that's way more fun than anything. It's all about exploring the possibilities and not worrying about mistakes!

Wow..

I can hear the "drumfills" in your grooves. How to begin is my question..

Nice!

Whip out that metronome and start with quarter notes, move to 1/8ths, 16/ths, triplets, etc.. start slow, keep the time and begin at the beginning! ;)

@olegschramm I personally disagree that he is way ahead of the beat here. I think he is fairly well in time, especially considering the complexity of the rhythms.

6:07 is sweeeet - reminds of some grimey (in a good way), warped, electro-hip-hop isht!

Let's set the metronome to half notes, and then the whole notes on 2, then 3, and then on 4th beat, and keep the same timing. It is awesome, what played here, but it is also 80 percent of the time way ahead of the metronome. Practice to "slow" metronome, half time, and odd beats, and you would be on top of the game. Cheers!
