Of course, feeling the beat through vibration also gets around the problem of not hearing the metronome, especially when you’re playing loudly.

Not sure if you’re playing those sixteenth notes evenly? Check them against the metronome. Not sure if you tend to rush or drag? The metronome will tell you. (Even if the music calls for speeding up or slowing down, the rate of change should happen consistently.)
