In fact, the thing that got be started on this was recently playing new/original tunes with a songwriter who called out the meter i.e., 103 then counted it off with these great vocal sound effects for the sub-divisions that sounded like a drum machine. Got me thinking abut the 'human metronome' re: the stick clicks.. my brother played in a 7-piece touring band many years ago, and he said they used to warm up before going on stage with everyone in the band standing in a circle and doing the 'clap'; where they all try to clap in perfect sync to different meters.. the theory is to get your mind and body attuned to each other and getting the blood flow going etc. so when everyone steps up to play they are all ready to lock in..
