The Metronome
The most important thing about playing percussion instruments is developing a good sense of time. To get you on the right track from the very beginning, it is strongly recommended that you use a metronome to play along with every time you practice.
There are various types of metronome available, from the old wind-up style metronome to the electronic metronome which is shown in the accompanying photo. Electronic metronomes are recommended because they are more accurate and often have a volume control as well as an earphone input so nobody else has to hear it except the person using it.
