(QUIET COUNT)
This mode will help you develop a good sense of time/
tempo.
For the first few measures, the metronome will sound at
the specified volume; over the next few measures, the
volume will diminish until it is nearly inaudible. This cycle
of several measures will continue until you stop it.

the pads during this time.
• After the Quiet region, the proportion of your strikes
that were played at an accurate tempo are shown as
a “%” value.
