lots of great features but way to soft
My only complaint is that it is wayyyy too soft. Other than that, it does everything I want it to. The volume does throw me off a lot though....I play the flute and can't hear it at all when I am playing in the high register.

The versatile and user friendly metronome
This device is impressive. It is easy to use and has a volume a classroom can follow. It is something your skill level can grow with, and it's great on batteries. The dial can have nobbies to grab onto to make it perfect.

versatile professional tool
When my decades old Seth Thomas metronome sprung its spring, it was time to move in to the new century. Based on multiple reviews of this instrument and others, I opted for this (and I got the power supply, too, to save batteries). Even though I have not yet used all of the powerful features of this metronome, I love everything about it thus far. It is easy to use. It adjusts in multiple ...

Pretty good for the money
I only just got it, but this Sabine Zipbeat metronome seems pretty decent. Takes a 9V battery, but it comes with one. Small enough to be easily portable, but when on its built-in stand is sizeable enough. Settings for time signatures from 2/4 to 6/4, or just an unaccented click-track if you prefer. Spin dial goes from largo to presto, 40-208 bpm. Nice loud, neutral "pop" tone - but not too loud, ...

Excellent metronome, great features at a great price
I needed a metronome that was very flexible and could handle different time signatures. This is much better than my $20 hand dial one that can only adjust in steps of 4 bpm. This one has different settings for any situation you might need. I love the settings and the tuning pitches as well. best for the money.

too much fun
I bought this as I gift for friends who had their "drumming stuff' stolen in a house burglary. I'm going to have to get one for myself; I can't put the thing down! Deceptively simple, but loads of fun. A great addtion to a rhythm instrument collection, and perfect for drumming circle newbies.

The last Cowbell you'll ever need!
Looking back on my long musical career, I have played many instruments, but I keep coming back to my first love... the cowbell. Oh sure, I've tried them all - from triangle to wood block but I have never felt so in tune with any other instrument than the Cowbell. I have many different cowbells in my collection. Most of these are for a particular mood only. If I am feeling somewhat polka, I ...

Great for babies who are new to holding toys
I bought two different maracas because I wasn't sure what size to buy. They had some at the library for infant time and my daughter loved them. These are the perfect size for a young baby to hold and shake. My daughter has just turned 6 months old (we've had these for a couple months) and this has become a favorite toy.

Good for beginners
I purchased the DVD for my child who is trying to learn the basics. I think it helped him becasue the lessons were not "over his head" the way another video I purchased was. I also liked how they give a reference library and the lessons available for download on the Icons of Rock site

Awesome
Dr Beats have always been great but the size was always an issue. This is everything you need in a compact metronome. you can use a ton of rhythmic patterns as well as program the time signature to change at the appropriate time. Its got a back light for when you need it, a pitch function for tuning, the buttons are easy to push. i can go on, but simply put this metronome is awesome. i found ...

Basic Beat Pair of Natural Wood Maracas (with 2" Head)

6 reviews

Great for Kids, Fun for Adults
These are perfect for my 10 month old, he loves to shake them and since they are pretty thick and durable wood I am sure they will survive his infant years and many years beyond. He is 18 pounds, 30" and can grab these well - not too big and not too heavy. They are not 100% perfect, one of them is very quiet compared to the other (I suppose from different thickness in the wood). This might ...

The Evolution of the Blast Beat By Derek Roddy

great exercises
As a beginning drummer, it's hard to listen to a Slayer song and even understand what is going on, much less try to play it. Derek's book breaks the beats down and transcribes them so you can play them slow and work up to the speed that is necessary for metal. It gives so many variations of the blast beat it will make your head spin, which makes it a great resource for coming up with ...

a masterpiece of funk drumming analysis
I use this book extensively with my private students and consider it one of the best drumset instruction books ever written. The book explains the seminal James Brown funk grooves and how to build upon them, the Tower Of Power grooves that Garibaldi made famous with that band, and has eight funk-fusion music tracks with and without drums, charts of those songs and developmental analysis of the ...

Good Value
These Zills are a good value for their price. Some suggestions: 1) Because they are a bit tarnished you may wish to cover the top with a clear nailpolish. I did a sparkly polish to make them look at a bit more fancy. Do not paint the bottom portion. 2) The bands need sizing. I took the bands off then sewed them to the size of my fingers so that they would not slide. They are better then ...

Only wish I got this sooner.
Ive been recording music for 6 years. I'm a bit of a perfectionist.. Always trying to make my tracks sound as legit as possible with the things i had.. Ive never had the money for drum sets in those days but with all the little things I've purchased it adds to well over this small price tag of 150 smackers. This machine has all your rhythm needs.. You can program a song beat for beat or jam ...
