Musicians practice with metronomes to improve their timing, especially the ability to stick to a regular tempo. Metronome practice helps internalize a clear sense of timing and tempo. Composers and conductors often use a metronome as a standard tempo reference—and may play, sing, or conduct to the metronome. The metronome is used by composers to derive beats per minute if they want to indicate that in a composition. Conductors use a metronome to note their preferred tempo in each section.

When interpreting emotion and other qualities in music, performers seldom play exactly on every beat; expressive, flexible rubato may be used at times. Typically, every beat of a musically expressive performance does not align exactly with each click of a #metronome

  • Camilia, sometimes when I start playing your vids I think I have the player set on 1.5x tempo, you play SO FAST! Holy cow, smoke comin’ off the sticks. Your speed, skills, feel and ideas are truly amazing. Also, you have a very pleasant face and demeanor, and I see increasing comfort on the camera. Thanks for the videos!

    I’m new at drumming and my church threw me in our praise band after only one month of teaching myself to play. I’ve never picked up a drum stick in my life before then. It’s been three months now and I’m learning or trying to learn coming into a song on time and dropping out in time and not coming back in upside down or on the wrong beat. Do you have any tips? How did you learn this when you began drumming? I love your videos and your techniques. Thank you
