Metronome App Review

     Every drummer absolutely needs to have a metronome in order to practice effectively. We are the individuals responsible for keeping time in the ensemble, driving the production to the end of the song. To do this correctly, practicing with the metronome is a must. That is why I am reviewing the Pro Metronome application from the iTunes store.
 
     For starters, this application has a terrific layout making it incredibly user-friendly. The format of the application is structured to make switching between accents, tempos. and note breakdowns very easy. Also, it includes flashing lights and vibrations for musicians who learn better when engaging multiple senses while they practice. In case you were wondering, Pro Metronome allows you to practice under quarter note timing, eighth note time, triplet timing, and quarter-note triplet timing.


     This application is entirely free with multiple options for learning music of any kind. In the three years I have used Pro Metronome, I have encountered very few application crashes. It is a reliable tool, with an easy-to-use format, and tons of options to help you accomplish whatever you wish to perform. The only complaint I do have is that the application volume is kind of low, making it difficult to use without earphones. Although I always practice with earphones so I don't particularly mind.

     To conclude this review, I give Pro Metronome a 4.5/5 rating. I personally think having a metronome is a necessity for every musician, and what better way than to integrate this tool than utilizing it on your phone, on the go! This is a great tool for every drummer and is available in both the Apple iTunes store and the Google Play store!
