You have to read the instructions on setting the time.

Set them
all to the same time and in a few months they're all over the place. The newer
computers actually seem to keep worse time than the older ones...

Tsk, tsk, tsk...at least 30 USA firms sell "radio clocks" that check
themselves agains WWVB every day. EXACT time to the second.
Battery powered. They even correct for Leap Years and the Leap
Second.

Until the AC power goes out.

Do you flip your drums when the power goes out?

Or do you fire up the "emergency rig" and cueso for the "accurate
