Benny Greb, well known for his contributions to the drumming education community, shared the approach he has taken to develop his sense of groove and improve his timing on his instrument in his course "The Art and Science of Groove." Now with the Gap Click app, everyone can practice his method easily using this intuitive app!
Unlike standard metronomes, which only provide time, Gap Click helps you improve your sense of time. Gap Click is more than a metronome that focuses on improving your ability to keep tempo, become more aware and comfortable with off-beat clicks, and become bulletproof and accurate with all notes of the subdivision.
GAP CLICK
By scrolling through the numbers of bars and patterns, you can quickly configure a "gap" of time in which the metronome drops out. When the "one" comes back around, will your playing still be in time? How long of a gap can you play through and still maintain a solid tempo?
MOVING CLICK
Next, you can experiment with all kinds of off-beat patterns in the Gap Bar, which moves the click from the downbeat position to a different location. Can you still play your instrument and maintain the downbeat internally even when you hear the click sound on an off-beat?
Both the "click" and the "gap" portion supports various syncopated patterns, allowing you to practice in binary or ternary rhythms - with more or less safety depending on your settings.
Features
• Ability to choose from various syncopated patterns and the number of measures for both the standard "click" and the "gap."
• Use the nostalgic click wheel to find the right tempo or tap to set your desired tempo from 10 to 300bpm
• Standard quarter-note time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4
• Support for VoiceOver ensures Gap Click is fully accessible to users with visual impairments
Personalize
• See visual feedback for each note or rest that the metronome plays
• Accent beat 1 of each measure or turn accents off for a more significant challenge
• Flash the screen for a visual indication when switching between the "click" and the "gap" sections
• Find your favorite sound from a variety of click samples hand-picked by Benny

Ottima app
Sono un insegnante di batteria e ho trovato questa app estremamente utile per la mia pratica quotidiana e per i miei allievi!
Facile da usare, ti permette di lavorare sul timing scegliendo su quale posizione sentire il click (sedicesimi o terzine)!
Ad esempio con gli allievi che la usano le prime volte imposto 2 battute con il click sui quarti normale e 2 battute con il click solo sui levare di ottavo, facendogli suonare dei ritmi in 4/4.
Consiglio a tutti,
Luca
Per averla pagata anche no.
È assurdo che voi mettiate a paga un’applicazione che è piena di problemi. A partire dal fatto che quando l’avvio c’è un bug con i suoni per cui devo andarli a reimpostare perché sennò non funziona, al fatto che mentre suono il metronomo perde dei colpi a caso e riprende fuori tempo (e no non era attiva l’azione di battere a vuoto) semplicemente decide lui quando saltare dei colpi, e ultimamente capita sempre più spesso che mentre suono che lascio andare il metronomo sotto, lui smetta improvvisamente di andare, si mette in pausa da solo. Pagare per sti problemi mi sembra assurdo, fantastica la modalità in cui ti suona le battute a vuoto, ma con tutti sti problemi a sto punto meglio le app non a pagamento per quel che riguarda i metronomi.

Per favore fate un aggiornamento per avere l’app in funzione landscape su iPad grazie
Good but not worth it
The app is good, but there are other software that have more or less the same options and for free. It would be grate to have more options of time signature or accents for example
Prezzo troppo alto
L’app è ottima ma per quello che fa ora il prezzo é troppo elevato, aspetto futuri aggiornamenti con nuove funzioni, magari con più opzioni per l’accento e cose così
