Good drummers practice with a metronome.
What is a metronome?
I cannot emphasize enough of the basic role of the drummer, which is to keep time and provide the rhythm base for the music.
A drummer who cannot keep time properly, cannot grow technically in skill. The basics of simple “1n 2n 3n 4n” is so important that most beginning drummer neglect it.
I know it is cool to play the drums, but if the music doesn’t sound right because the rhythm is off, then that’s not cool, isn’t it?
It is not difficult to play in time, you just need a simple device known as the metronome to help you, don’t underestimate the simple click beat produced by this device. It is a basis for all rhythms.
Here’s a free metronome software you can download and install.
