Those samples aren't gonna help your timing really.

But we may be on the wrong page. I don't really understand your reply lol but that has happened before.
YOU play with your hands live correct? Your body including your hands have obvious timing difficulties.

When you have decent timing you usually have it on EVERYTHING you touch. Just like when your a very MUSICAL person it applies to everything you touch. Sometimes the instrument is not easy for us too play so we struggle or can't execute well etc..

But when we play that instrument even very simply we play in time first. Time is HALF of music. Melody/Meter

There is no other way too see it really.

Anybody who plays who doesn't develop decent timing never sounds very good. Then he or she can't play with others in a band.
The only bands they land in are ones with others who don't do it either and never complain about it to the others This way the problem of not sounding good never arises.

If your gonna use your fingers to play drums like a drum machine on a keyboard, play to a click or better yet program the beats exactly as you like. This way the bass line you lay down next will not be swimming all around.

We can sing with bad timing to, in infects everything once it starts..

If your in a 70's like punk rock band none of this applies.
Your bandmates and your fans don't know it or care! Now there's a sweet gig..
