Hey Guys,

I want to know if anybody is using a Yamaha clickstation.  Do you like it?  Right now we are using a Dr. Beat DM 90 and I like it, but it's a bit cumbersome with when trying to program tempos or tempo loops (tempo changes).  Does it have a loop function like the Dr. Beat DM 90?  Does it lose it's programming when the battery dies?  Thanks for your help.

I'm hoping for one that is more like a digital equivalent. The swinging pendulum is a pretty demo, but I don't really find it practical for drumming. I'm not sure what that app is from the other site - maybe an installable app for a jailbroken iPhone?

There are a few ";official"; metronome apps on the iPhone store currently, but they all appear to be the pendulum style. If anyone finds a good one they like, let me know!

i think the VDL idea is great, Jim. perhaps hard to start and stop, but great for runthoughs?

I had complained about the lack of useful metronomes for the iPhone/iPod Touch in the past, but our staff used ";Dr. Betotte TC"; for the past season - and it's great!

It's well worth the $10 for all the useful percussion features - remembering patterns, tap tempo, subdivision control��_ check it out here:

To be clear - I had nothing to do with this app, but I was happy to pay for it rather than writing my own. I haven't even bothered to get a new 9v battery for my Dr. Beat after the last one died :)
