How do you sync a drum track?

With the metro. I set the drum play back to the same bpm and try and manually push start in time with the beat but it's always a little off.
Is there a seting or link Im suppose to use?

Ya dude, since as I understand it, Ninjam has no MIDI sync, I just bang on the play button like a 2001 Kubrick monkey around the water hole until it syncs up close enough.

Thanks mutant!
I'll " monkey" around awhile to get it right.
( until you show up :-)

indeed - a midi clock sync function would be immense in Ninjam. i am doing tentative tests with midi clock synced over networks, with two computers synced to the same midi clock through Ableton and Max/MSP.

i did a test jam on here, with a bpm of 120 - again i just hit play the 'monkey way' - but my two computers stayed in sync for at least 10 minutes :-) - whoever was jamming with me seemed to enjoy it too!

will keep you posted on the further tests!
