    Sounded good to me, and the drumming was fine.

    Thanks Rickthedrummer! I was thinking of downloading liveBPM app and checking my tempo. I think its ok though.
    But that sounds like a pretty cool app for gigs.

    You don't need a metronome, your timing was just fine. I have never used 1, not during a gig or in a studio.

    2 things to keep in mind: If a given song was 100 BPM and you finish up at 103, trust me, nobody will notice.

    2nd) I've probably played about 10,000 gigs since 1961, and I've never seen anybody bring a 'nome in to time the band.

    Listen to the music as it will always tell you what to do

    Keep the customer satisfied

    That's your (and the band's) job. Past that, don't sweat the small............................................. ..............................poop.

    Yes, I would never bring one to a gig either. Livebpm is not a metronome, it actually tracks your bpms while you play. So at the end you can look back and see your chart. Or you can put it next to a video, such as the one I posted and it will track the bpms. Sounds pretty cool to me.

    I sawa guy playing one time and he had a small digital device sitting on his snare drum and it counted the BPM while he was playing. Instant feedback. I had just started learning drums and did not ask much more about it but sounds pretty cool. Great playing by the way, nice pocket.

    Decide whether this is love for the craft or simply an ego thing

    Sounds great man! Nice groove ...

    I'm wondering though, why is there a cymbal bag leaning against the front of your kick?

    It just turned out to be a better sound sence we were miking the kick. There was way to much sustain without it.
