Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I chose the Dr. Beat DB66 for its reputation from other fellow musicians that owned the Talking Dr. Beat. The price offered at your outlet was by far the cheapest. I would have liked to have had the adaptor included in the kit. It's a must if you are using it on a daily basis. MY students love it when I tell them that the BOSS will be paying them a visit today!
Sound
For a Metronome, the volume level is adequate when the batteries are FULL charge. However, this metronome certainly can drain a battery fairly quickly when used on a regular basis. Within 3 weeks of putting in a new high quality battery, I noticed the light dimming, the volume diminishing and the next day, it was dead. The adaptor is a definite necessity. I should have bought one with the kit. This is one hungry metronome!
Features
This is definitely a superior metronome. I love the TAP feature which enables me to save time in determining a comfortable speed for my students. They play, I TAP and presto, we have a metronome reading!
Quality
Appears very durable and I appreciate the case that it is enclosed in.
