Develop a stronger sense of rhythm and timing by practicing these basic clapping exercises with the metronome. I see a lot of musicians out there who are great at making good sounds and are funky and awesome sounding but their sense of rhythm is totally ungrounded. They speed up, they slow down and its almost beyond their control. I used to be like that but after years of practicing with the metronome very diligently I’ve finally come to a point where I can hold a rhythm and take the role of a drummer and ease into a consistent repetition and that’s what’s really makes music have a sense of grounding. So what I want to give to you is some very simple exercises that you can do without any instrument. We are just going to use a metronome and clapping to do all of this. If you don’t have a metronome, it’s totally fine, just use one of the free metronome sites or apps below.
