Are there any good online time rhythmic exercises where you tap the rhythm and get your timing analysed? |

I think these exist for marching band, believe it or not, but IMHO, it
should be about OUR OWN ears. We each need to learn to judge this.
I admit a computer app that helps might be cool, but you can do it on
your own, I believe. Do you have a metronome?

As for using our ears, I agree we need to use our ears to judge the Results of our practicing. But, there's nothing wrong with tools like this to make the practicing most effective.

1) You cannot hear the rhythm in your minds ear
2) Your endurance inhibits you from playing in time
3) Your technique does not allow you to play in time |

| | | | I know there is a programme where you can connect your bass via a midi output and play along and later get your playing analysed. To me that sounds like a lot of fun, but I guess it cost’s a lot of money.
I have no problem playing along to a metronome, and it has helped a lot. However the last time I was in the studio and recorded this funky tune, the session drummer and I played along to a click track, but at every chorus the drummer intentionally speed up a bit, so since I was trying to follow the metronome and not the drummer, my timing suffered a bit .
I guess it’s just as important to practice a lot with a live drummer, and not only the metronome. |

I would recommend checking out EarMaster Pro, www.earmaster.com. I'm a happy customer.
It does exactly what you want and a lot more: Interval identification, scale identification, chord progressions, sight singing, transcription, rhythm imitation (they play a rhythm, you repeat it) and rhythm correction. It's available as a free trial so there's no risk.
