Tips for Practicing
There's a trick for playing to match a metronome; get your body into the rhythm. It's no good trying to match each of
your individual beats to the metronome, as if you were trying to hit a moving target. You yourself need to keep the
quarter notes steady, and play your own rhythm. Your own notes will naturally match the metronome. Don't worry
about a slight drift; just keep the rhythm yourself. Continue practicing in this way, and you'll improve your ability to
keep the rhythm.

Attached cable
Since the RMP-5 allows you to connect another pad, you can (for example) connect a V-Drums kick pad and test the
timing of the kick as well. Of course you could connect a hi-hat or tom pad instead, and use all of the Coach
functionality from that pad as well.
