Sabine Zipbeat Digital Metronome




This review is from: Sabine Zipbeat Digital MetronomeI generally use a Seiko SQ-50 (ASIN B0002F7GX2) when practicing, but this one has some great features for drummers that the Seiko lacks.First, for the slower tempos from 40 to 60 beats per minute you can select the beat in two-beat increments versus the four-beat increments that the Seiko is fixed at. From 60 through 72 beats the increments are three-beat, increasing to four-beat from 72 through 120, the range from 126 through 144 is in six-beat increments, increasing to eight-beat increments for the remainder of the range, which stops at 208. While the faster tempo increments have coarser settings than the Seiko (and the Seiko goes to 240 beats), the smaller increments at slower tempos is a plus.Second, this metronome is LOUD, which is a feature that drummers will appreciate. I also like the ability to set accents to occur anywhere in the two to six beat range. This is another wonderful features for drummers.It uses both audio and visual clues (a clack and LED lights), and has a headphone jack.This metronome has won me over. I still use my Seiko, but find myself using this one more and more. If you're a drummer I strongly recommend that you give this one a try....

This review is from: Sabine Zipbeat Digital MetronomeWell-made, easy-to-use, good 'click' sound rather than electronic 'beep'. Some limitations to be aware of... it's really BIG (does not fit into the neck of my guitar case). The volume is not adjustable (a problem if you're practicing with others around the house). And there's no 'mute' button... you have to switch it off and back on at the end of each run-through....

This review is from: Sabine Zipbeat Digital MetronomeI have never used a metronome before but needed it for Taiko (Japanese drumming) practice. When I got the product it was easy to use right out of the package. It has this great led light that will help you anticipate your next beat visually as well and provide steady rhythm. The only thing that was a bummer was the free ear-bud stinks. It's a short cord, and doesn't stay together very long. Even though the ear-bud wasn't great, this item is worth every penny....
