Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I don't practice without this amazingly compact and useful timekeeper. The beat range is wide - from 40 to 240 beats per minute in 4 beat increments, and the headphone jack is a nice bonus.
What I especially like is the audio and visual modes - you can go by the clicks or a red light that blinks in time. At faster tempos, though, the light is harder to follow than the click. You can select both the click and light together, which is another great feature. Finally, you can quickly dial in your tempo, which is an improvement over many metronones that require you to use a button to increase or decrease beats - going from 126 beats per minute to 240 takes a second versus having to keep pressing a button on competing metronomes.
It's loud enough to be heard over my drum kit when I have it close, and the timing is dead on accurate.
The tuning to standard A or Bb is yet another feature that drummers will find useful with doing an initial reference tuning. It allows you to quickly get a reference tone on one drum, then tune your kit from there.
Since counting is essential to good practice using this instead of depending on verbal counting when playing is a big help and has enabled me to measurable improve my grooves (I still count off in my head when playing, but now I know that I am perfectly accurate).
Highly recommended!

This metronome comes with a powerful dynamic speaker that has a whopping 2-1/2" diameter. The size of this speaker enables this metronome to produce the loudest sound of all metronomes on the market. Being able to hear the sound of the metronome while playing an instrument is one of the biggest challenges for all metronome manufacturers. Seiko has met the challenge with this metronome. The metronome has a volume control that provides a great range of adjustment for the powerful speaker.
