What Is BeatBuddy?

Regular metronome is boring. There is a lot of space to move between clicks, making it difficult to lock in and focus on what you are playing, especially for slow tempos.

Solution? A metronome with subdivisions that you can feel and easily lock in with. By having subdivisions bridge the gaps between clicks, you will soon forget the click is even there. Instead, by feeling the groove you’ll lock in tightly and be able to make your playing groove in time too. This kind of system has been my secret tool for over a decade for playing “in the pocket” when recording drums on hundreds of songs.

Practice your strumming, your scales or come up with the coolest new odd-time riff with the help of this inspiring metronome.
