The new metronomes like Ron's are great and a lot of fun. They correct your timing, and I find that they actually make it easier to play, which makes them very useful for recording. If you want to play live with other musicians, though, the real issue is the ability to distinguish (feel and play) eighths (1/2), triplets (1/3), sixteenths (1/4), quintuplets (1/5), sextuplets (1/6), and their combinations. Beyond that, I guess all that's left are the remaining tuplets (1/7 etc.) and patterns over two beats, like eighth-note triplets (2/3)? Anyone care to post on the remaining mathematical possibilities?
