Hey guys:

I just noticed something.  Yesterday, I was using my drum set through my PC 
speakers, so I had to turn the click volume down.  Today, when I put my 
hearing aid adapters in and worked on the timing, I had forgotten to turn up 
the metronome.  While I was working with this, I noticed something I had 
heard once in a while in many, countless situations.  I noticed that the 
click is roughly about the same volume as the snare I'm playing on (that's my 
mesh head pad).  If I hit a little off, like early or late, I hear the full 
sound  envelope of the click plus the note.  If I hit dead-on, I hear the 
snare plus the click, but the first fraction of the click's sound envelope is 
not there, covered up by the hit of the snare it if's hit just right.  I just 
hear the snare plus the click's remaining sound envelope.  I feel like it 
tells me that I'm hitting dead-on, from my perspective.  If I turn the click 
up louder, where I usually have it, then I don't get that effect and hear the 
full click even if I hit dead-on.

Anyone use this to advantage to tighten up the drumming timing during 
metronome work, by making the metronome and the instrument at a matching 
volume?

Thanks!
Stephanie
