There's loads of stuff you can do with the metronome

@@antoniojulia6014 Like the others said, keep trying. If you really can't figure it out, here's something you can do if you own an ipad: Install an app called Pro Metronome. Free version will do. Watch some videos on how to use the different features. Now, set the beat to 16/16 or 32/32. You can tap each note to change the accent or even mute it. So let's say you're using 16/16, for the first eight hits you accent the doewnbeat, and for the last 8 you accent the "and" or even mute the downbeat on those last eight.

I like using drum sounds on my metronome, so it's like I'm playing along to someone really consistent.

Woowee....just counting off to make sure the click is on the "ands, e's, ah's" is a challenge in itself.

Excellent instructional as usual! Anyone who is just starting this, DO NOT GIVE UP! Hit this until you nail it. Like the Beatdown guru says; Once you've "seen it" you can't unsee it. I started working on beat displacement a few months ago and it's enhanced my ability to instinctively feel the down pulse tremendously. The way you present concepts is great Rob Brown. Thank you for what you do man. Smooth!

Thank you for writing. I'm really getting inspired to start training like this from Rob's video so I can improve my timing. But seeing your comment as well just adds to my excitement even more. Time to practice!

I agree with the DO NOT GIVE UP. I almost did but what helped me was I made sure I hit the palms up beat when I said the AND out loud. I was trying to say out loud, just the 1,2,3,4 like Rob, but it kept tripping me up. Once I was saying the AND out loud along with the 1, I was able to get the feel down. Once I had the feel down I didn't have to say the AND out loud and could nail it. Thank you Rob for these videos. I'm a beginner drummer coming from a long time playing guitar and these videos are great!

Thanks for the counting trick with the hands - every time I've tried this I have ended up falling in sync with the metronome. This is very difficult in my humble opinion so the clapping technique is super important so you get the feel with the metronome. Peace - great lesson - Davo-London

I subbed to your Patreon! My first sub to anyone, ever! 🎉 You've earned my respect with your no nonsense, easy, straight forward approach. God Bless and Amen!

James Brown always said it's on the one ,hit me on the one .LOL do what you do

Great video and info. As usual. Rob , thanks for helping us improve our skills.

Thank you for all your great lessons. Very informative, calming, and inspirational.

Cool this one, and the gap click is amazing too.

This is a much needed lesson for me. Thank you Rob Brown

I started laughing in amazement like I would if I was watching something impossible. This was pure magic. Thank you so much for the advice!

What a Classic! Great video; definitely thumbsup. Great concept and drum solos; and shirt.

Thank you. I always learn something new with you lessons.

As usual Rob it was helpful, so so helpful thank you!

Loved this lesson! Yes, it is a game-changer!

what a resource this guy is for drummers everywhere

Mind blown. Thanks Rob.

Rob, this is just brilliant! For many reasons!!

Awesome video! Thanks Beatdown!

Congratulations on 100k subscribers man 👊 And thanks for opening my eyes. Keep the awesomeness coming 🥁

You've just opened a whole new world for me. Thank you

Yet Another great video from our favorite teacher; Dr. Rob

Thank you so much that's a great idea for me and I have to go and play my kit for you

Excellent stuff as always Rob. I had seen the old video from years ago and yes, this one is a bit easier to watch, thanks for the updated version.

Thanks, Rob!!! This was excellent.

Always so enthusiast when I get a notification from you Rob! Thank you for helping me in this awesome journey. Looking forward to meet you one day

Thanks! I'm going to try this!

What a privilege it is to watch your videos and learn from you man. Thank you

Thank you Thank you!!😁👍

This is brilliant!

Thank you!! This has completely changed my awareness of the various notes!

Thank you Mr.Rob brown it's really helpful 🙏🙏👍👍

Thank you!!

cool. This is outrageously helpful. Many, many thanks. All the best to you.

AMAZING feel finder, thank you!!!

I already can't unsee it, thanks

You are a great teatcher. Thanks a lot for another great lesson! I use some of your videos to work with my students here in Brasil.

That was the most fun 20 minute video I ever watched and interacted with. I can't wait to try this out tomorrow.

you are the man!

So important and excellent lesson

Thank you Rob. I'm having some of the most fun I've had in years learning drums w/ your help. Got my hoodie today, and it it really nicely made.

Great video lesson . Great dedication and flair for mentoring . . Thank you very much . Really enjoyed watching it and gaining a new insight in practicing . Best wishes to you. .

EXACTAMENTE what I was looking for. I play flamenco guitar for one SERIOUS time-machine of a dancer, who does a lot of counter-rhythm footwork, and has an internal clock that is right on the $$ ( engineer in the studio puts a click on her difficult footwork, and says her time is so accurate "it is sick". ) So I need to strengthen my time to hold down the fort for her. Thanks!

2:55: if you’re following the click, you’re doing it wrong. You should be striving to NOT HEAR the click. Do that at a slew of different tempos. If you can get thru four minutes of 80bpm with the click on without hearing it, then four minutes of 90bpm, etc, then you’re doing it right.

The lights are on and shining for the masses beatdown keep the heart beat pumping and the swinging ringing brother 💓

Man... your videos are a joy to learn to... 💙👊😎

Thanks!

Thank You so much, Rob. This way to practise with a metronome is so incredibly helpful for me !! Greetings from Germany.

This changes everything , great idea

So cool and smart ! Thx !!

Very important lesson..been doing this since I tried basic konnakol...and is great for timing..great video 😁

Thank you I have been trying to figure out how the metronome can help me. I've been using it the traditional way and have had very little progress. It already makes more sense to me just watching your video. Thanks again

actually looked this up initially since you played swing with the click on the and of 2 & 4 and found that really interesting!! thanks so much

Awesome and simple lesson. It's going to make practicing straight beats to a click much more interesting. Thank you!

Thanks Rob. Love this exercise. It makes you so aware of every 16th note partial. Which in turn tightens up your overall time. Thanks again!

You are not normal!!!! Thanks man!!!

Wow a really cool idea.Thanks!!

Thanks again rob!

I am a touring drummer and for swing I found having the click be 2 and 4 was really helpful in swing soloing....sometimes just 4.

Dude I love this channel I’ve been playing metal for 26 years and still learning I pick up something new from all your videos 🤘

Bravissimo!

Very cool lesson Rob 🥁🙏 my friend

Your instructions are great, I’m working on my basis drum fundamentals all over again and it’s fun and challenging, have been playing for 50 years.

WOW! Sweet!!! Any exercise that improves time & feel are huge to me! These exercises are a bit challenging at the moment! Gonna keep this going, it's starting to sink in!!! Been searching for exercises like these!!! Great job explaining. Many thanks!

This is genius! Just played along on my little practice pad kit and can feel a huge difference between just turning on the click and following it. Thanks for this tip Rob!

This is so awesome!! Definitely gonna use. I’ve noticed that a lot of the best musicians count offset like this and now I understand why

Seriously effective exercises !! to better keep time during longer fills and when changing patterns. I also found it helpful to practice at extreme low and high volumes

Phenomenal game changing concept. I’ve been playing for fifty years and always like to learn new drum techniques.

I‘ve been playing violin for over 10 years and have always struggled with rhythm, never really feeling the beat. During the part with clapping a sixteenth after the click, I suddenly knew where the next clap had to fall without concentrating. I actually felt it. Thank you for giving me hope that I might not be a „lost case“ after all.

Duude...awesome. Shifting 1/16...never thought of that. Following it can get so boring. Thanks man!

Thank you man, valeu!!!

I dug it 😊🤘🏼. So simple but challenging to unpick the assumed ‘1’. But also real world useful not just a geeky trick. Thanks Rob.

Groovy groovy!! I will try this for sure on set and on a pad with rudiments, SD reading and hand building. I have used my metronome on 2 and 4 or just 1, or the AND. But these ideas are def next level. Keep it up + thanks!

Watched this video, got on the kit thinking this was gonna be easy… wow this really is exactly what I needed to get better, thanks for the great video. Always thought I never needed lessons learn, but luckily we got teachers like you on KZread.

Been playing 25 years and always want to tighten up my timing. This is gonna be a super fun challenge. Thanks!

sweet Rob ! just getting going with a long standing life dream. world's oldest rookie @ 66. very cool use of the metronome. more fun too.

Using the metronome on the backbeat is somehow like playing with a second player. Thanx for the inspiration!

Love your videos man!

Best Drum Vids out there!!

Amazing lesson your video are awesome rob. Also this is quite a challenge after playing for over a decade to the click.

Its amazing how deep the pocket feels after working at this. Helped unlock a whole nother level of Time Keep for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this lesson

great concept!

Enooorme! Utilisation du métronome pour caller les subdivisions !!! Idée géniale pour garder un bonne métrique!

sooo good Rob

I DIG IT.. Mystery may be solved??.. I hope Thanks either way!! gonna practice now!

Some simple yet so effective, not to mention so damn hard. But then if it were easy we'd all be doing it! Another great lesson Rob, keep 'em coming!

This is actually amazing!

Great vid , gonna tell our drummer !

Cool idea!

God bless you!

Hey Rob, i enjoy your videos always very much - as a drummer, as a musician and also as an instructor and video creator myself (in German). I just thought about the fact, why you are such a great drummer and musician and what's the difference to a lot of other players on KZread and so on. I think it's simply the combination of your cool and relaxed personality, your great touch on the instrument (always tasty, controlled, with nice flow and great dynamics) and the fact, that you are a real professional player and you have a lot of experience in actually DOING it (on and off the road...). Thanks for all your effort and work you put in to make such great videos for all of us! Big drummer hug from Germany and all the best man! 😉🥁

Great, thank you from Italy

Awesome
