The irony of today\u2019s episode is due to the fact that Khruangbin does not record their records to a click track. They approach their recordings in a very \u201cold school\u201d kind of way. The band has recorded each of their records at Mark\u2019s family farm in Burton, Texas, which is a rural area between Houston and Austin.    The need for a band to have impeccable timing to record music without a click is paramount, otherwise, the editing would be far more nightmarish. To gain a strong internal pulse that is in time is a skill that every musician needs to continually work on. With that being said, today\u2019s episode focuses on practical exercises to strengthen your timing through metronome practicing methods.    You Will Hear About\u2026.   A brief history lesson on the metronome. A gap click exercise. Rob \u201cBeatdown\u201d Brown shares a lesson on displacing the metronome. An active listening exercise featuring a Khruangbin tune. What is a hemiola? How I learned to love the metronome.   Why Should You Listen?   We all need to submit ourselves to the metronome at some point. For timekeeping is arguably the most important skill set to develop as a drummer. This episode provides at least two very effective exercises to sharpen these skills.   Music Featured In Today\u2019s Episode   Khruangbin - People Everywhere (Still Alive) Khruangbin - So We Won\u2019t Forget Khruangbin - Friday Morning Khruangbin - Hasta El Cielo   Follow Khruangbin on Spotify   DJ\u2019s Socials   Instagram Follow \u2018Drumeo Gab\u2019   Instagram Facebook YouTube Follow Efajrmusic & Carrtoons on Instagram ","author_name":"Drumeo Gab Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/drumeogab.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
