“Feel Time” Don’t “Count Time.”
All this is accomplished by requiring the student to “feel time” Don’t “count time.” This course is filled with numerous exercises and comes with audio files to play along with each exercise. You can also learn more about this concept of feeling time and not counting time by checking out the Long Line Rhythm course. There is also MetroDrone® which combines a drone with a metronome that can accomplish many of the same techniques used in The Big Metronome but also contains an ear training component.
Audio Files
Each audio track for The Big Metronome gives you a two bar count off and then a click every measure, two measures or four measures. As this pulse happens at wider and wider periods of time it requires the student to rely more and more on their own internal sense of time.

What people are saying:
- The Big Metronome and the Doing Time Series were recommended to me a few years back by my drum instructor. They both really helped me get a feel for a larger sense of form, and that led to much more freedom in my soloing and how I approach an overall feel. D. Hernández
- The Big Metronome has completely changed my perception of time. Over the last few months I’ve gotten to the point that I can use 20 clicks a minute and keep time while playing chords. The book has lots of ideas on time and also how to use the ideas. R. Hasanov
- I was always OK playing in time with the metronome. Take the metronome away and I was all over the place. I contacted Bruce about my time problems and he recommended The Big Metronome My opinion is although this book is for a more advanced student that understands basic rhythms, learning the “idea” is important for all musicians. I spend most of my time sight reading through Rhythms Volume One and Rhythms Volume Two with different click combinations. This has really helped me not to speed up and slow down. The Big Metronome has really helped me. F. Mészáros
