One of the most important tools used for drumming is the Metronome.
It helps you with your timing for practicing drum parts slowly, then increasing the speed as you become more confident in playing those more complex parts.
It is often used by professional drummers to determine the correct tempo for songs, especially if you are practicing or performing your own songs.
Below are 5 commonly used Metronomes for beginners to professionals, listing the features of each device.
They are also listed according to the price range from $49.00 to $199.00
