Need a new metronome. Suggestions?

[mikei]

Hello,

Did you know that most metronomes cannot take 250 pound of pressue on it's face?

Just wanted you to know, because I stepped on mine and now, oddly enough, it doesn't work now.

With that said, any recommendations for a metronome that is good, yet fairly inexpensive?

Also, I do not need one that can take 250 pounds of pressure. I will try not to step on the new one.

hahaha, that's the best thing i heard all day!

For practice pad jamming I use:

For my set I use:

The Korg does it's job and does it well. The Tama is amazing, but fragile. I'm 225 pounds and try not to step on either one.

If you just need something to give you a straight click, cheap metronomes work great if you plug them into some kind of stereo or PA system and use "earmuff-style" headphones (make sure to wear earplugs). You can hear the click easily above your playing. Korg comes to mind...

If you need something more advanced for mixed meters and such (3/4 for two bars, then 7/8 for 3 bars, then 5/4 for two bars, then...), then I would recommend the Dr. Beat by Boss. The Dr. Beat doesn't need an amplifier to be heard above your playing if you wear headphones (unless you absolutely rock out).

I love your avitar quote.

Very unique.

Actually, sometimes we take for granted what we have. I don't! I am a very lucky man! Sounds like you are too.

Congrats!
