Test your sense of rhythm...

This is a test to determine your sense of rhythm.

They will play a short phrase followed by another short phrase. Then you decide if they played the same rhythm twice, or if the second rhythm was different than the first.

BTW Hawk, how'd you do?

84%

Not too shabby I guess.. For doing it on my laptop with one of the very small speakers blown out !! hehe..

Not to mention it's good to see 12 years of drum lessons didn't go down the pisser with all those beers!!

They were in some messed up times weren't they?

They weren't meant to be easy and I believe it....

I wonder if taking the test over improves your score?

Also does it take into account I only had 6 "do overs" left?

I got a 72 too and I was drunk and tired. Maybe that helped cause I guessed a lot.

That seemed more to me like a memorization test than a drummer test. If I were looking for a drummer, I'd be looking more for feel and taste.

Agreed. It seems like more of a memory test than a rhythm test. I can't play drums worth a damn and I scored an 88.

I was thinking it would have you keep time with a drumbeat, then stop playing while you kept the tempo, then see how accurate you were. The problem with that would be the time delay across the internet.

I got 88% on the tone test...and I know which one I think I got wrong!

2 more points would've been exceptional.

Yeah, me too.

Jerry Stanek told me that when he was with "The Lost", they're producer, Richard Robinson, (Bowie, Lou Reed), used to make their drummer keep a beat with a "click track" and then record the snare on one track and the "click Track" on another track on an analog tape machine going at 30 inches per second. Then spend hours editing the tape with headphones and marking the beats of both with a magic marker on the tape and measuring the distance between the two. Pretty intimating!!!!!!!!!
