6. Love your metronome

Once you've agreed a tempo make a note of it using some sort of electronic metronome or drum machine, etc. (Why? check out Drum basics video: why use a metronome?)

7. Take notes, avoid arguments

Keep a note of all tempos for the next rehearsal and cut down on needless arguments.

8. Hit record

By the end of the rehearsal you can completely forget something you played at the beginning: record everything.

9. Play it back

So you've recorded everything: when you listen back the next day it will all come flooding back…

10. Scrutinise

…and you'll immediately recognise the crappy bits that still need a bit of work.
