Well, this is kind of embarassing, but i REALLY need some assistance, so i will have to expose my extreme ignorance.....
I just bought myself a nice fancy Boss DB-90 metronome, because i felt the need to have some guidence on my rudiments and basic patters practicing (im a novice drummer). The DB 90 was the choice because of its built in rhythm coach feature.
I have a plain old "tic" metronome from my guitar playing days, and my Roland TD-6 VDrum has a built in metronome, which is a mess to work with.
So, I wanted something that could help when practicing 5, 6, 7 or 9 notes per beat, and also when doing a routine like:
|| 4 notes per beat | 6 notes per beat | 8 notes per beat | 4 notes per beat | etc...
So i guess you guys got the picture. I wanted a metronome that would do more than just count the beats and accent the one. I wanted something that would "sing" all the subdivisions on the beat, like 6 notes, 7, triplets combined with 4 notes, etc.
The point is.......... do the hell do i do this on a digital metronome?????
I read the manual over and over (http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/_support/om.cfm?ln=en&dsp=0&iCncd=696&iStcd=4) and i CANT seem to find a way to do anything more than the most basic rhythm combinations you can think off!!!
Heres the only things I found on the DB-90:
. Click on every tempo of the mesure (1-9)
. Click on the 1st (strong) beat and the AND for each tempo ("1, &, 2, &, 3, etc")
. Click on the "1, e, &, a", "2, e, &, a", etc
. Click fro triplets (1, tri, plet, 2, tri, plet, etc)
How the hell do i make this thing consider 2 groups of triplets on a tempo?? Like 6 groups of notes per tempo, instead of just 3?? What about 9 notes per tempo??
Looks like the maximum amount of beats i can hear on a tempo is 4... So, i cant have 8 notes per tempo?????
I mean....... thats how fancy expensive digital metronomes work these days???
Maybe theres an "indirect" way of getting those countings off of the dawn thing that i just cant seem to find!!
I know this really sounds like some stupid dumb newbiee questions, but, yes, im a newbiee and im really surprised that i paid big bucks on the best metronome i could find and yet it only puts out the most basic stuff!!
HELP, please!!;.
