6Foot2 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Link: Got Rhythm? How we calculate scores The track plays at 120 beats per minute, which means a beat plays every 500 milliseconds. Your score represents how close you were to the correct timing. If you're spot on, you get 50 points. You will lose a point for every two milliseconds you were off by. You will score no points if you're off by 100ms or more. At the end, we add up all of your points, and that gives you your final score. Here's how I did (Awful!) [Tap out the rhythm on the space bar]
3s-gtech Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 823 first time, but I'm cludge handed and as musical as a welly.
browolf Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) lowest so far at 498! Sounds about right... Edited December 17, 2015 by browolf
witch Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 ohhhh - winning so far TBF I am a musician and singer and "should" be able to keep to a beat
Duranis Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Too quick almost every time (is what my Mrs might tell you.....)
witch Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Come on all you musician types, give this a go
CamelMan Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Oh dear - 754 And im the rhythm guitarist in our band!! Best get the metronome back out.....
X-13 Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Oh dear - 754 And im the rhythm guitarist in our band!! Best get the metronome back out..... Isn't it the drummer's job to keep everyone on beat, though? [i'm not a musician] Get them to give it a crack.
CamelMan Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Isn't it the drummer's job to keep everyone on beat, though? [i'm not a musician] Get them to give it a crack. Mainly yes - but its everyones job to keep the rhythm going as if you start to drift you can take others with you (its weird, you can adapt subconsiously sometimes). Plus there are sections where the drummer will drop out and everyone else keeps going etc However I emailed this over to our drummer who came back with a 867 (but thinks the site is wrong....) - maybe we are generally a rubbish band!!

witch Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Well, sometimes. But if you are playing on your own it is down to you. And if you have ever played with lots of other people (behave at the back!) you will know that everyone has a slightly different way of hearing the beat - some early, and some late. Drives my section mad because we, of course, keep PERFECT TIME

Obviously you just use an unusual time signature and you're used to that.
CamelMan Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Obviously you just use an unusual time signature and you're used to that. *cough* ahem yes thats it, thats definately it *cough* A 3rd attempt has given a score of 851 - took it more seriously with the foot stomp to go with it
ICTDirect_Dave Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 847 for me, slightly late more often than not. I'm a typical guitarist though, rely on the rhythm section to keep things in shape and prone to going off on twiddly journeys of self indulgence
apearson Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 First attempt, on my Mobile, sitting in the car with the radio on! Quite pleased with that! I'm a musician too!
witch Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 So, @StevieM you beat me! (see what I did there )
StevieM Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 So, @StevieM you beat me! (see what I did there ) Very clever, @witch. Well, piano is technically percussion so I should be good at beating things. (I often describe myself as a drummer trapped in a pianist's body.) You, on the other hand, should be used to blowing it.
