My Project
Our students love to play the drums. We have drum pads and buckets, and a drumline that meets after school. I am requesting this Dr. Beat metronome and stand so that our students can work on keeping in steady time while playing.
Playing with a loud and reliable metronome will greatly improve our students' musicianship.
This Dr. Beat metronome will plug into a guitar amplifier I already have, giving a steady beat which is loud enough to hear above the sounds of 30 drummers! Dr. Beat is the metronome choice of professional drummers and marching bands, and is rugged enough to stand up to classroom use. It has mounting threads that will allow it to be mounted to a cymbal stand. Students will love to set and adjust the metronome tempo, and playing with a metronome will become a fun challenge. Musicians know how much of an impact a loud and strong metronome has on developing drummers. Thanks again for your support.
