Fun And Useful Metronome Exercise with Mark Kelso

  • Опубликовано: 15 окт 2016
  • Practicing along to a metronome has the reputation to be repetitive and boring, so here's a concept you can use whether your practicing rudiments, beats, fills, or a solo!
    Mark Kelso explains how we sometimes rely too heavily on the metronome to supply the down beats for us - so why not own them ourselves? By placing the metronome on the off-beats, your awareness of time greatly improves.. And it's a ton of fun!

    Mark makes the metronome sound like a cool cat vibing with the music bobing its little mechanical head, swinging from side to side, shrugging its shoulders to the beat, dancing in place, looking cool...

    This is also great for drummers who are playing with a click and no backtrack (as long he/she is the only one with the click in their ears). It can be a nightmare when you get a little off and need to rush or drag a beat to re-center it. If you've gotten comfortable with the click on every subdivision, you can just move the click to the nearest subdivision in your mind and keep going without breaking a sweat. Definitely gonna start utilizing this in my practice.

    Mark, I met you when we were both playing at Bally's in Atlantic City, waaaaay back in 1984. You kicked ass then, both playing drums and singing, and it's a pleasure to hear you today. Always refining! Great work.

    Wow this guy has impeccable groove. Nicely done, especially around 6:45 where he starts playing around with the 16th note placement of one. It actually makes playing with the click on one sound ridiculous and I definitely see what he means about boat anchoring.
    I am reminded of when Harry Connick Jr. was playing a gig and his audience was clapping on the 1 and 3 so he got annoyed and used the music to add or subtract (I forget which) a measure to catch up. I don't even think the audience noticed but it was almost as impressive as this moment in 6:45

      Playing to a click isn't that hard to learn. It's the part of doing it live where you don't have the luxury of great sound mixing or any at all where it's hard to hear the other band members and your click also. So it's "do you stay on the click or listen to the band"? Both are possible but one will win in the end. The click or the band bc the rest of the band doesn't have the click in their ear like the drummer.

  • @joetroutt7425
    @joetroutt7425 2 года назад +1

    Great for practicing and playing at rehearsals but once you're at a gig and emotion is running wild things tend to speed up or slow down. I use it to keep me tempo somewhere in the ball park not dead on so I can still have a sense of freedom but yet not speed up or slow down to much.
    I think the idea is to have a pulse. Like a heart beat it can raise and lower but not dramatically or you would have something wrong with your rhythm. The thing I struggle with the most is rushing rolls as I'm sure it's the case with most drummers not use to playing with a click.
    If you can get to the point of maybe just being slightly ahead of the beat or slightly behind during certain parts of the song then it would sound more human once you settle in the groove being dead on the click. Think of waves in the ocean. They flow. Although the click can seem like a boat anchor you can still flow like the waves.

      It’s just a way of measuring how in time we’re playing because if u can’t hear the metronome then ur playing exactly on the beat and ur notified if u go slightly out of time if it comes back again

    He is an amazing drummer. That jam was was very cool. Still have no idea how to use the metronome. Are you supposed to be hitting a drum, tom, hi-hat, symbol, etc. with every click? Such as: when the click clicks, does that correspond with a strike?

  • @BlakeProbert
    @BlakeProbert 7 лет назад +1

    It would have been useful to hear a modulation like in in 5 and then back into 4 to hear how the metronome sounds on the 'off' 8th beats and the 'off' 16ths.

    @whale7515 4 года назад

    It works and actually it can work better than using the downbeat.
    Theres a back of the medal here. Using metronome on the 3th or 4th sixteenth, I think it does affect your 'internal' engine. You end up kinda playing (and not playing) some accents.
    Try playing a very particular rythm with these approach.... for exampl jazz latin. Or an iron-maiden galloop: it wont work.

    In any case, I’ll try to incorporate this to my practice if I have understood the concept well.
