Tom's metronome songs

Playing Technique
#1

Hi Fellows,

I recently got bored of practicing to the metronome (No Discussion about metronome yes/no here please ;).

So I started a list of songs sorted by tempo and use that songs as Clicktracks. I use that for endurance training, but it might be useful for other things too.

Here it is, feel free to add… Consistent beat required.

Nice! I edited the OP to display in table format so it’s a little easier to read. This is a cool idea! If you like I think we could even make it a “wiki” too so others could actually edit the post themselves to add to the list. Let me know if you want to give that at try.

Yes please!

Go ahead. Any addition is welcome as I really use it at the moment but of course the songs also can get boring over time plus there are some wider gaps in there. Maybe we could also divide between ternary/binary rhythms.

Okay cool! I went ahead and wiki-fied this post. Now I believe anyone should be able to edit.

If you’d like to add to the list, please feel free! Here’s how:

  • Click the “Edit” button in lower right (where “Reply” normally would be"
  • Add a new line as so: | 123 | SongName | ArtistName |
  • (Make sure to place in correct spot by BPM order!)
  • For reference: instructions on table formatting

I kept meaning to do this for double kick drum practising but never got round to it.

Anyway, all you basically need is: Angel of Death - 210/240 and you’re covered.
