Hi,
I did not read the other reviews, yet noticed the mid-star rating. This device is excellent for finding the pace of a tune or where the director wants the tune to be with the tap function and with the options of built in sound, headphone jack, lcd screen with pendulum type graphics and red led's for gigging, it's a great tool. I use this constantly and just bought two more for my church gig where I have to keep 8 to 12 folks on cue. If you are looking for lot's of fancy rhythms and detailed sub-divisions, you'll need to spend more.
Batteries last a long. long time. Again, great tool for a drummer.

I have had the same problem with my Boss DB-30 Dr. Beat Metronome resetting itself to 120 bpm. Someone on here recommends to change the battery, but the problem is in the earphone plug. If I take out my earphone, the unit works fine. If I plug in my earphone, and select a tempo and beat, a slight touch to the jack will reset the unit....hence it is crap....

Comments about Boss DB-30 Dr. Beat Metronome:
A good product. Lightweight. Clear display. Easy to use. Allows selection of meter (2/4, 4/4, 7/4, etc.). No memory. The sound is fixed (a kind of beep). I found it annoying at first (I was expecting more of a click), but I got used to it quickly. The unit has an actual volume knob which makes adjusting the volume quick and easy. Works fine for practice, probably wouldn't be very useful for live work as it does not store settings.

Comments about Boss DB-30 Dr. Beat Metronome:
I have experienced this same problem with the Boss DB-30 that many others has listed. After about 3 months, and once I was over 1500 miles from the store I purchased it at, it started to constantly reset itself to 120. I now have about 25 spare batteries for it, but even with a brand new battery it is shorting out. I'm bummed, as it's hard to find a pocket metronome with a clave feature. Oh well..

Comments about Boss DB-30 Dr. Beat Metronome:
I've had this metronome for the last three years and it is still working. I've read that a lot people are complaining that it reverts back to 120. It has happened to me maybe twice a year and all I do is change the battery and it works. Drummers sometimes do forget to turn the metronome off after sessions and that's what drains the battery. It has auto turn off but that's according to a timer after sitting idle. It is a great product, I highly recommend.
Comments about Boss DB-30 Dr. Beat Metronome:
Nice features at first, although not nearly loud enough. Problem is that after a few months it became completely unreliable and now will not work for more than a few beats before resetting. Do not buy this unless you intend to replace on a regular basis.
Comments about Boss DB-30 Dr. Beat Metronome:
Do not waste your money. I can't believe boss put this junk on the market. My brother in law and myself pruchase at the same time. After a couple of months of use it the settings start reverting back to 120bpm. Also the ear phone jack stopped working and it causes it to revert back to the same beat. Do not waste your money
Comments about Boss DB-30 Dr. Beat Metronome:
The Boss DB-30 metronome is a nice compact package with a good range of features. Unfortunately, after less than a month of less than strenuous use, mine stopped working. Pressing the Start/Stop button caused it to revert to a tempo of 120 and a 4 beat measure, emit a single chirp, and stop. Removing and re-installing the battery helped for a while, but the condition shortly returned. This is not useful to me, and I see I am not unique in this experience. Too bad; if it kept working, it would be a great product.
Comments about Boss DB-30 Dr. Beat Metronome:
This metronome started strong. But shortly after it started turning off by itself. Then when you set a bpm and push the start button, it kicks back to 120 bpm. Oh, and boss will fix it for you, for $40 an hour. Just buy the Yamaha Click station and be happy.
Comments about Boss DB-30 Dr. Beat Metronome:
This metronome has great features for learning different beats. It's pretty easy to use once you figure it out. The best part is you get to buy lots of batteries for it. If it were not for this feature, I would not recomend it. If you like changing batteries, this metronome is for you!
