you're practicing.
2. Strike the pads in time with the metronome.
Strike the pads at a constant tempo.
• The more your tempo becomes accurate, the softer the
metronome volume will become.
• The metronome volume will increase if the tempo of your
pad strikes begins to drift. The more your tempo drifts, the
louder the metronome will become. Strike the pads with an
accurate timing that matches the tempo of the metronome.
If the tempo of your strikes is significantly inaccurate, it may
be impossible to precisely determine the amount of
inaccuracy.
