This is the perfect metronome.

There's different voicings for the sounds so you won't get tired of a digital click. There is an auxiliary out to connect to an amp or headphones. Haven't tested it against drums but with in ears that shouldn't be a problem at all. The battery has lasted me hours and hours of practice.

I believe this is the perfect metronome. It is said that everyone should at least own one. This is very affordable and you will find no trouble implementing it in your space.

Rated 5/5

I haven't found anything I don't like about this metronome

My FAVORITE metronome is a mechanical. Hands down. The sound, the feel, the look - just love it. But it has to be 100% perfectly level or it "swings." So, as a lot of people have, I've used electronic for many years.

I wouldn't say that I've "worn out" electronic metronomes, but I've gone through at least 3 or 4. Probably due to me not treating them very kindly and mindlessly tossing them into a bag or case. They've all been fairly standard: turn a dial to get clicks. Some have a better sound than others, but they all do (did) essentially the same thing.

I love this Korg. The click sounds can be changed to one that (to me) most resembles a clave, or at least isn't an electronic beep. I wish it could have a more "traditional" tick, but this is fine. Non-standard time signatures (up to 9/4), subdivisions, clave rhythms - all useful and easy to pull up. It doesn't do offbeat accents or anything like that, but other than the novelty of it, I can't see that I'd get that much use out of it. To get just the lower click, you choose 0/4, and to get just the higher clicks you choose '1/4'. Not really mentioned in the manual, so that's a bonus for reading my review.

And, sure, why not say it: It looks great. It just looks like it belongs in a music room.
