Hey - I figure some of you may have a method that you like. I have tried lots of ways to do this but I am not happy with any of them so far.
The issue: how do you cue your tempos in a live situation? Sounds simple, but the execution is all in the details and that is where it gets tricky.
I've been using the Tama Rhythm watch and programming in the set list tempo by tempo. It seems somewhat onerous to do it this way and I also would like a more seamless way to hear the tempo without bending over and hitting the button and listening.....I've tried headphones but I hate wearing headphones when I play live.....
all the details of how any of you successfully do this on the gig are welcome.
I think it looks lame if the audience sees you doing the cueing....at least on a bigger rock show it breaks down that "third wall."
Thanks for your input.
