exactly!

i even suggest that when you play fast that u use a slow metronome click for it. do not rely too much on the click - just use it as a reference point!

for example set the metronome at 70 bpm and let each click be the 1 of each measure ---> click 2 3 4 click 2 3 4 click

now play 16th runs over it (in that case 16 notes per click) and try to hit every click precisely. try to feel the missing clicks 2 3 and 4. you will realiza that this is not easy to do. especially when you go on to play odd timings over it or groups of 3, 5, 6, 7 etc. the lower you set the metronome with this method, the harder it will get and the more you will have to FEEL the beat, rather then just getting used to it.
