Drum Metronome
Allegro
A loud, precise click for drum practice with subdivisions, accents, silent bars and polyrhythms.
Set it up for drums
Use headphones and the cowbell or beep sound, and raise the accent and beat volume in the rhythm sheet. Choose eighths or sixteenths to hear the hi-hat grid, or triplets and shuffle for swing grooves.
Exercises for drummers
Gap trainer: play 2 bars with the click and 2 bars without. If you land on the ONE when the click comes back, your time is steady. Make it harder with 4 silent bars or random gaps.
Questions
Is the click loud enough for drums?
Use headphones and raise the accent and beat volumes. The cowbell and beep sounds are the easiest to hear over cymbals.
How do I practise playing without a click?
Use Gap mode: the metronome plays some bars and drops out for others. Check whether you are still with it when the click returns.
Can I use drum sounds instead of a click?
Yes. Pick kick, snare, hi-hat or rim in the sound list, or use the drum machine for full grooves.
