Great Product!

Comments: Excellent metronome. No, it doesn't have the crazy amount of features as the large (and expensive) DB-90, but for the price, every percussionist should use this tool in practicing. It isn't even drowned out by the instruments!

Was of Time and Money

Comments: Features are very good. Unfortunately both the first and second replacement from Guitar Center broke after three to six weeks. Seems that the DB30 goes hay wire. It did not hold a BPM setting and automatically reset to 120 BPM. Then it would stop after about 20 or 30 seconds. For $40 this should work work a lot longer. Will not buy a Boss product again due to their lousy return policy and shoddy quality.

Waste of money

Comments: I purchased this product and it immediately broke. The warranty served as no help. Several friends who bought the same model have experienced the same problem.
