The innovative gravity bounce helps you to anticipate the beat and play exactly in time with it. This is especially useful when you are learning a rhythm with irregular beat patterns.
"It's like having your own conductor to help you keep in time"
The reason this works is that it is easy for us to anticipate the moment when a bouncing ball will hit the ground - and sing, play or clap exactly in time with it.
This was used in the early "Car-tunes" movies. A bouncing ball bounced on the lyrics to help the audience to sing along with the movie. Conductors also use the same technique - they will often bounce the baton off an "invisible plane" which makes it easy for the orchestra to anticipate the exact moment of the beat so that they can play along in time
In fact this is so effective, it is just like having a conductor. You don't need the tick any more, you can switch off the sound for Bounce Metronome and use it for practice as a silent metronome.
With this innovation it becomes much easier to practise rhythms with swing and irregular beats as it helps you to anticipate and play exactly on the beat of the metronome.

Why do these visuals work so well? It is easy and natural to anticipate the moment when a bouncing ball will hit the ground - so that you can sing, play or clap exactly in time with it.
This technique was used in the "Song Car tunes" towards the end of the silent movies era then for some of the first movies with sound. The ball bouncing on the lyrics helped the audience to sing along. Bounce Metronome now has a separate "Car Tunes" metronome. As with the original movies, the bouncing ball bounces off the words of the song. The shadow below helps to make the moment of the bounce itself easier to see.
"The motion is like bouncing a golf ball on pavement. Your performers must be trained to play exactly at the bottom of the beat."
P 19, Brock McElheran, "Conducting Technique for beginners and professionals".
