"this metronome is great!"

Feature:
the only accesory that i think is totallynecesary is the stand because im a drummer and i dont want to just set it on a table or whatever i can find. also the stand makes for easy acess.

Quality:
this is an incredibly reliable and long lasting product. ive had mine for about 4 months and its as good as new. my drum teacher has had it (or a similar model im not sure) for 7 or 8 years.

Value:
it is deffinetly worth the price i wont ever buy a regular metronome again

Desirability:
i didnt buy this product for the looks, but i think there should be a choice of colors upon ordering

Sound:
i love this metronome! the talking really makes a difference (as opposed to just a click) it is so much easier to distiguish the 2's and 4's than a regular click. however it does have a couple click options. I would highly recomend this metronome to any player on any instrument at any skill level. PS. i rated the sound as a 9 because the talking can get iratating after a while (in wich case you could just switch to a regular click)

Support:
i have had no problems with my metronome

Overall:
i expect this to last me for a very long time

"Dr. Beat is #1 in my book!"

Feature:
Whenever we needed a note, we used it. Whenever we needed a metronome, we used it. When we were just plain out bored, we played with it. One thing was mising. A tuner. I wish it had a built in tuner, to compare pitches. And see how flat or sharp our instrument is.

Quality:
Dr. Beat has been dropped many times, and it still lives on.

Value:
Great price for a great tool for musicians!

Desirability:
I want one very badly! I like the many features it has.

Sound:
When I was in high school, my dirrector had one. We all hated it. Hated the fact that it could plug into the sound system that is. He worshiped Dr. Beat. When we got a new teacher, he also hated Dr. Beat. We then realized how much value this tuner/metronome gave us. And we loved it with a passion, and always wanted to be the one to use it. I really ejoyed the way it counted pretty much any beat you could want. Great for students to learn with.

Overall:
I love the way it counts rhythms, that would have to be my favorite part.

"how could it be better"

Feature:
has every thing you need for simple metronoming

Quality:
how could a simple metronome be better??

Value:
i think i got the best "bang for my buck"

Sound:
not very loud

Overall:
not much wrong with it

"look no farther than the good Dr."

Value:
A little pricy for a metronome, yes, but for the most part worth it.

Overall:
Great Product. It's the only motronome you should ever need. We use it all the time in marching band-hook it up to a Long Ranger (essentially a loudspeaker) and away you go. I have yet to see a halfway decent marchng band (high school, college, or drum corps) that doesn't use one. Even most professional bands use one. "Walla Walla" by the Offspring actually opens with a Dr. Beat, believe it or not. If you are serious into music, buy one. I wouldn't suggest buying one if music is just a hobby, but if music is a major part of your life, you absolutely need this.
