Developing Internal Timing Sense
(QUIET COUNT)
This mode will help you develop a good sense of time/
tempo.
For the rst few measures, the metronome will sound at
the specied volume; over the next few measures, the
volume will diminish until it is nearly inaudible. This cycle
of several measures will continue until you stop it.
Start practicing
In the COACH MENU screen, press the [F2] (QUIET
COUNT) button; practice will start immediately.
1. Strike the pads in time with the metronome.
• The metronome will sound during the rst few
measures. When you reach the last measure during
which the metronome will sound, the screen will
indicate “Ready.”
• When the metronome stops sounding, the screen
indication will change to “Quiet.” Continue striking
the pads during this time.
• After the Quiet region, the proportion of your strikes
that were played at an accurate tempo are shown as
a “%” value.
