ah-1, ah-2, ah-1, 2, 3, 4

I’ll get the tempo in my head and start lightly clicking sticks together. I’ll just keep that up as I glance around to confirm we’re ready to go for it. The idea is that all the band can hear it and get the tempo in their heads for as long as possible while they check tuning, swig beer, etc. between songs. When we’re good (with stick clicks going this whole time), I finally get to actual verbal counting, usually just “2 3 4.”
