DO NOT PLAY WITH A METRONOME!
you can use it for the first month or so but you could become reliant on it and may be unable to play without it, which ain't good if you're gigging, its hard enough to hear yourself under the guitars so it will be impossible to hear the ticking.
Just count out loud, you'll sound like a dumbass shouting out numbers but it will get drummed (excuse the punn) into you're head instead of tick tick tick.
-Pet_da_panda-
Using a metronome can give you a good sense of rythm which is good for drummers! You need to know how fast to play on certain songs. Some are slow, some are fast, some change. A metronome can give you a good sense of rythm. And I disagree. People dont become relient on the metronome. After using it for a long time, it keeps that beat in your head.
i think metronomes put you off when they are drumming and make you lose place, so practice counting aloud at first and then into yourself, it will become common knowledge in time and allow to become more versatile with beats. |

Is it tabs you're looking for?
If so, theres some here http://mxtabs.net/tab_versions.php?path=Drums,s,3204,System+Of+A+Down,Mr.+Jack,139579
I've only heard the song a few times so im not that firmiliar with it, but the tabs look pretty straight forward (if they're right that is). It would take a bit of practice though.
Thanks for that - |

Posts: 53 | August 6th, 2005 at 06:23am Most of all have fun, enjoy it... don't start drumming thinking "oh god i have to learn drums and kick ass like Tre" that ain't gonna help you. <- This is what I did. AND NOW I DO ROCK. Heh, but not without practice. Also, twenty minutes a day? I practice for two hours a day, or more. But then again, I guess you should start small. I don't remember there being a time where I didn't play my drums for more than an hour a day. |

Posts: 598 | August 7th, 2005 at 04:54pm A metronome is this thing that constantly ticks at regular intervals.... to "help" you keep your timing.
Personally i think they are shit, its better to learn counting on your own, because if you cant count while palying or you cant play drums without a metronome then there aint no point in playing drums... thats the whole basis in playing drums, keeping timing and keeping the beat.
metronomes are shit! |

its not a "bad" thing, its just that its better to learn counting by yourself. Like i said you can use a metronome for the first month or so, but you NEED to learn to count by yourself, and you can become reliant on a metronome and not be able to play without it which is not good.
I personally don't like them. but to each his own. |
