Metronome review February 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a nice metronome for the price. It's loud enough to hear over my bass guitar, and has a port for headphones if needed. Instead of the wooden click, clack noise of a traditional metronome this unit has more of an electronic pulse. It works, but I would have liked to have known this ahead of time. For the money though, it's hard to beat this product.

There's no volume adjustment, and no way to adjust the click tone, which is a high-pitched electronic bleep. The bleep has a definite pitch to it, which is a problem if you are playing in a different key than the metronome is bleeping in.

It all works as advertised. It's easy to use. I keep it clipped to my music stand.

In teaching myself guitar, I found myself learning the notes and melody but not necessarily being a devotee to keeping accurate time. To realistically gauge my progress, I decided to buy this metronome. It comes highly recommended on various guitar sites like Musician's Friend, Zzound, etc. and having used it, I think the reviews are accurate. You can configure the rhythm, beat AND tempo and with it's compact size, it's more functional than comparable models. The only negative I have is the "beep" tone - as a former violin player, I'm used to the old school "click" sound of traditional wooden metronomes. But then again, I can't clip one of the old wooden metronomes to my music stand, now can I? ;-)
Highly recommend.
 Works fine, but hard for kids to work on their own. December 18, 2007

I bought Roland Dr. Beat Metronome after reading reviews on Amazon. My sons needed one for their piano practice at home. I figured out how to use it without the instructions, but my sons have brought it to me a number of times when they have gotten it into the wrong beat sequence, so they have struggled more with figuring out the options. They are 8 and 10. I am hoping after a little more time with it and a little more help they will be able to use it fully without any help.
