Metronome

I want my band to start practicing with a metronome but the singer and guitarist hate the click. Does anyone know of a metronome that uses light instead of audio? It would be cool to have a strobe in the center of the room flashing the correct tempo.

Yeah lots of metronomes do it but its alot harder to keep in time to a light I find. Just shop around and see what you think. Maybe its coz im used to clicks.

Why not just have the click in headphones to your ear and have the band play to your beat.... I kinda thought that was one of the points of having a drummer... to keep the rhythm whilst making art.

When recording with Cubase or something, it has a metronome wich you can easily send to your headphones, among the monitorings.

You should be the only that uses a click. The band should learn to sync to you.

I would suggest you buy one of the isolation headsets with a metronome. They're fairly inexpensive.
