In anticipation of recording coming up, I need to get back to this steadily.
I have a metronome but I no longer have a PA where I always just mic'd it.
What are you guys doing, or can suggest, how to hear it over the drums?
Are there in-ear devices or something similar that work well?

Kelly,

Don't know what you are going to be using for a metronome, but it if is slectronic, it likely has an output jack.

Invest in a good set of earpieces, which you may likely use later for in-ear monitor system.

Mine is not electronic.
So do you mean there are electronic headphone type metronome's?

Yes. I know they exist; don't know enough about any to add any more.

Kelly,

I recommend this Korg metronome and these headphones. You can use most any headphones that you have with a 1/8" tip, but they may not isolate you enough from the drums. The Korg metronome can be set to quarters, eighths, sixteenths, triplets. etc.

Xcellent Roland! What I was waiting for. Thank you very much!
I have sexy headphones so I'll grab the Korg for now and try them with it.

I've tested the VicFirth headphones once - both muted and w/cable.
The problem was - they cut away A LOT of the drum sound. I know it's me, but I need to hear and feel the drums when I play.
Regular $5 headphones (no-name brand) let my ears listen both the metronome and drums, so I wasn't required to hit harder than I usually play. And believe me, I tend to keep my soft-approach towards drumming...

That's why I think the in-ear system works better - it's a lot of $$$ maybe, but the positive side is that the ear shell STILL picks up the vibes from the drums. A more cozy feeling, just as I like it.
