Hello fellow drummers,
I know I am bad at songs slower than adagio and I would like to make that up.
I believe that being able to play slower is a skill that forms part of being a great drummer, and after filming myself unfortunately this is really true. I want to change that, I believe I can be good at it.
So, my first question: I want to buy a good metronome app, I want to buy Tempo (which has a bunch of features for only 4 euro) and practice "measure on and measure off metronome", and variation of speed measures, etc. (I have free apps but they don't have, at least I don't know, that's possible to do without me having to stop playing and change it, in other words, automatic)
Any better iOS app, Android or PC app? (I have all 3 lol)
My second question is, further than those exercises... what really effective exercises do you recommend me?
I try to play both with and without the metronome, I believe building internal clock is essential as a musician (I made a vlog about this explaining why I think like that, don't want to hear anything about it in this thread as it's not the topic I'm asking help with), so I don't want to hear "play with a click" or "play without a click" here please, as that's not the reason of this post and I obviously do both since years. I'm looking for a step closer to professionalism.
