What metronome do you use?

Post by Scentiment » Wed Jun 06, 2012 3:36 pm

I've always been a fan of the Yamaha Clickstation, but they are discontinued (and our last one just broke). Any recommendations on a new metronome? How does the Dr. Beat DB-90 compare? We have a DB-66, but it resets itself each time it turns off. I've heard the DB-90 fixes that. Any other quirks? Thanks!

I like the DB-90. It is programmable and can do everything witth the exception of an accelerando or ritard. It also has a quarter inch out which makes it work easier with sound systems.

Thanks for the replies! I also checked with our percussion staff and they seem to like the DB-90 as well.
