What is Microtime? - Drum Lesson of The Week

Nate Smith November 9, 2014

I've been getting a lot of questions about microtime. Specifically, "what's that thing you're doing with the metronome." It's true - I've been using a weird metronome placement in the last several videos, and though I explained briefly, I thought why not just devote a whole video to it.

 

So here it is. In this video I explain

  • What microtime is and why it's important
  • Where I'm placing the metronome and why, and how you can work up to it
  • A quick sequence of exercises that you can play with the basic, then the advanced metronome placement that will help make your time more solid.

Want to go Deeper? If you haven't yet checked out the 80/20 Roadmap, it's my premium video series that puts all my favorite "hacks" for getting better fast in one place. My outlandish claim? I'll revolutionize your playing in 3 months.

Make me better!
