lol i noe go swee lee see but i wanna hear some ideas from you guys before i spent my money on it

hmm..i not sure. but for me it would be the bpm can go over 250 beats per min. cause moost metronomes can go up to 250 bpm only..

I dun mean to say this but this is friggin hilarious - a metronome set at 250 bpm. You mean you can play 260 bpm/second?

HAHAHAHAHA....

a metronome is good as long as it doesn't go out of time... j/k

drumsolo86 - nope, he can play at 130bpm. I do recordings where drummers are comfortable with 300bpm. (a.k.a 150bpm)

basically a good metronome is one which you're comfortable with so you gotta test it on the spot. you're going to be listening to this for as long as you use it. do get a pair of good sound isolation headphones also.

i would suggest DB-90. You cant go wrong with it. You can even use that metronome as a monitor for yourself when u play as there's a input and a output for earphones. So yeah, DB-90

Cheaper alternative will be Seiko DM-100.

A metronome that keeps the beat!

I'm using a Boss Db90

Something I always wondered about- how do you know that your metronome is accurate? I mean, we just trust that it's on time, but how can we be SURE?

150bpm at 32nd or 64th notes also can wat... dont really need to go more than 250bpm

Hi guys,

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I also wanna ask any other alternatives for a compact metronome thats similar to Boss DB-30 since I don't want to take chances with Swee Lee which I was told no stock when I last called them.
