Bro...i feel ya. I started drumming again at 43. I use to play when I was 12 and I was introduced to girls. So all these years later I finally had a mid life crisis and bought a drum set. I am now 45 and have spent $7,000 on my set that I absolutely love. I just wish I had played all those years and I'd probably be bad as. As for now I'm pretty average but breaking into the intermediate stage. Keep it up #never too late

1. Practice tight to super slow bpms (just claps before drums) 2. Relax and enjoy it like meditation 3. Bury the click

Mark is becoming one of my favourite drummers. being an average drummer when it comes to the metronome myself this video has really inspired me to focus more to playing to a click I even been doing the exercise shown on this video and it really helps my inner clock for it help cope with my own fears of the metronome.

He is teaching the easy way on how to do it. I had to learn the hard way. I played drum set for my high school marching band and fucked up so much when it came to tempo before I learned how to get a real pocket. And I emerged a champion by how good I'd gotten when it came to groove

I started out playing guitar by myself, when I got to play with other musicians I soon found that my sense of rhythm was very off without having a backing track or playing along to my favourite songs. When I started recording the importance of the metronome became very clear to me when it came to layering tracks and synching them. Metronome is key in music in all istruments no exceptions.

I would add strike (clap) like a drummer. Hit and release (think karate) slow up stroke and strike. The examples used too much motion...relax, ergonomics, less motion. Next, practice clapping in 8th, 16, triplet...extra credit is shuffle and jazz shuffle, but play the first three always. Once you can weave in and out of 8th, 16th, triplet your time will flow.

Starting slowly is so important and I could punch myself for not having done that when I was young. Our drummer quit the band and then I took his place. All I knew was basic drumming and suddenly I was required to play death metal. Needless to say my muscle memory still contains so many mistakes from my early days. :(

If you want to practice the clapping exercise, this metronome is a great tool. It has a built in timer, you can also program silent bars for other types of practice. The actual sound is very neutral and less annoying than some other digital metronomes. bestdrumtrainer.com/tt/

@jracerichards 6 жыл бұрын

It is a misconception that drummers need to be right on the click Its only there to streamline your tempo or if the song structure may be changed laterI in the production Im talking in the context of studio .projects Ive heard famous songs by well known drummers that you can tell shifts fron the click in the song Rock With You by Michael Jacksin with John Robinson is one example i but thats the beauy of a performance the push and pull

Has someone practiced this and got results?? I'm doing this for at least 20 or 30 minutes per day for two weeks now, (some days I'm like an hour) and it's soo hard! sometimes I reached between 15 and 20 seconds, and my average is like 7 or 8 seconds. (I'm reaching 10 seconds now).. It seems impossible to improve I just keep doing and doing it, I will keep trying for a month and I hope I get at least to get 15 seconds without hearing the click consistently. If there's someone else struggling or that was struggling but got better, comment your experience, It would help to know if someone else is going through the same. xD
