Raquy Danziger - Lesson Of the Month – March 2007

 

Time Exercise

CLICK HERE FOR A NOTATION KEY

 

Put your metronome on the slowest speed.  Play one hit on your drum for every click.  Try to make it so precise that you don’t hear the metronome at all because the sound of your drum is covering the click!
This exercise will do wonders for your timing!
