The key is to perfect your hand holds, accent lifts, etc.
DISCUSSION on the counter intuitive nature of the nedtronome….The slowest BPM plateau gives your muscles a chance to really get warm and relaxed before you cycle through another acceleration/deceleration loop. The builds and helps you avoid muscle fatigue. It’s turned out to be especially good for holding the fastest tempo for a minute, and the slowest tempo for a minute. You can set plateaus that stop at certain speeds, so you can take time to re-relax yourself at those speeds. It’s a metronome that accelerates in perfect increments of 1000 th beat per minute.
