Sounds Familiar... Our drummer is fixated on the metronome lights on his digital set. he will constantly remind us that we played it 64bpm last time and 2 beats slower this time. or singer / guitar player will start out with perfect time for the rest of us but when drums come in he is already 10 bpm faster or slower than everyone else started... No one will stand up to him but me and it causes a lot of tension in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frunobulax Posted February 20, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2013 i've only been in the band 6 weeks so i don't feel it's my place to stop songs and criticize the drummer for speeding up. guitarist brought him in, hopefully he's hearing it as well.

Members perrydabassman Posted February 20, 2013 Members Share Posted February 20, 2013 If you are playing covers, pump the original into the mixer and let him play along with the song a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
