Better Beats, Better Practice

The Note Mixing function allows you to instantly create a variety of beats by adjusting the levels of five different note values. Front-panel sliders, buttons, and a large rotary dial provide instant, hands-on access to edit parameters. Select four different click sounds, including a human voice-counting sound that will help you know your place in the bar. The DB-90 is also equipped with realistic PCM drum patterns, for developing your accuracy and rhythmic feel effectively.

Many Uses

Drummers can connect to the DB-90 via Roland V-Pads or the internal microphone. Guitarist and bassist can directly plug into the DB-90 without any other gear required, and monitor via connected headphones — practically any type of instrumentalist can benefit from the DB-90’s features. And for those who wish to sync to an external sequencer for more elaborate accompaniment, they can do so with the DB-90’s MIDI input. This stage-oriented feature is especially useful for drummers.

Customers like the quality of the metronome. They say it has great features in a small package, and keeps many of the essential features that made Dr. Beat metronoms the best on the market. It can do just about everything, and has a few other rhythmic functions/settings that they have not really used so far. The loudness and the ability to set complex rhythms with accents as loud or soft as you like is quite helpful. The very useful display makes all the functions pretty intuitive, and the product has various uses such as tuning, beat, rhythms patterns, and is a great device for learning and training.

5 Stars
Nearly perfect -- add this mount to the mix and it is perfect
I loved the unit but the little flip-out stand on the back is very poorly designed and extremely easy to pop off. Even if it did work, I wanted the unit to be stable and withstand me pressing buttons without moving... Just happened to dig through my box of camera mounts and found the following one that makes the placement of the unit perfect on a music stand or any other pole.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DJ5XH4O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
