I usually play with delay before the loop and I usually time myself with
that. Or when I'm doing very washy seamless beds of sound, I time myself
with the texture of the sound, I've never heard Mr. Lawson play but I can
totally understand how he approaches looping and I approach it similiarly,
but with less success. ;-)

I do agree that a real-time looping device is an *excellent* way to
develop your timing skills, especially if you are working on polyrhythms.
