Is this a drum lesson or a human sacrifice to the gods of groove? LOL. Great work out. Thanks Taylor. Am I brave enough to try it? Good tip from Victor Wooton is set up a drum machine metronome part with gaps in the time line and see how tight things are when you come back in. Easier than it sounds! Place bigger gaps as you go further. Say two bars on, two bars off. Two bars on, four bars off etc.
Were there times in this exercise not only your macro time was off but the subdivisions were uneven as well? The reason I am asking is because I am an absolute beginner and I can not reliably hear whether you landed on the metronome or ahead/behind it even though you put "fast/slow" for that group of bars on the screen. Also thank you for demonstrating what it looks like to put just enough pressure on yourself that you potentially make mistakes but the exercise does not halt and learning continues.
A great exercise. Really pleased I stumbled on your channel. Some excellent advice. Thank you. 😊
Thanks Taylor.
Nice vibe.Iron sharpens iron.
Cheers.
Sounds good
This is a great time-training exercise. Thanks, Taylor!

I love doing the “gap click” practice like that as well!
I use an app called Timeguru which I find to be useful. Can have it gradually leave more and more space in the click, plus many other features.
"But, most of our problems occur when we go to play fills, or go to play something too complex..."
Why were you looking at me when you said that?!?
Cheers Taylor
excellent. I like the playing to talking ratio.
Thanks!

Yes! Most of the inconsistent time was because of my uneven subdivisions or “micro time”
