You could try using a metronome. There are free downloads available and the one I use is Give Me Tac.

Thank you, but I have a metronome.

I had thought of the metronome with the music, but I want to feel it myself. I had also thought of dividing the count into little pieces ("one-duh-and-a-two-duh..."), but that's...I dunno...too much counting, I guess. I wanna FEEL it.

Hmmm...I guess a metronome is the answer, after all. I wouldn't want to rely on it for all time, but I suppose I could play the metronome ONLY...No music...and practice getting the feel of the beat.


Thanks.

rather than give a lengthy explaination, I think Konnakol is the best way to keep rhythm for ANY form or genre of music. If you know and understand the system, you simply can not get lost in the rhythm. Konnakol is something that few western artist use but it is definitely gaining popularity in US and Europe. If you're serious about music this is a path you may what to investigate. I hope I was able to open your eyes to a new door today.
