Mover on PolyNome...
Back when I was studying with Gary Chaffee he introduced me to a metronome called the TriNome, which allowed you to program and hear polyrhythms. PolyNome does that and then some. I can use it to quickly work out what a variety of rhythmic ideas would sound like, and it’s great for working with odd-note groupings like 5s, 7s, 9s… and so much more. When I have occasional sub work with bands like Saigon Kick, or the last minute rescue call for an Alice Cooper tour, I can not only instantly pull up clicks and count-offs for every song, I can also include notes about anything from song structures to particular fills and cues.
I’m loving PolyNome now, but wish I had it 20 years ago!
