the click sounds are a good frequency to cut through background and band noise...even to hear over your snare drum!

the vibrating pad is awesome! just reach over and touch the pad, and you can keep your eyes on the band, or what is going on. Subdivided volume controls are great. Midi connection captures rhythms from sequencers, etc. 2 line outs for headphones or to mix in your monitors...too much to describe

I have seen nothing to make me rate quality any less than a 10

pricey, but comparable to the competition (tama, boss, etc.) and this is an item you should only have to buy once

Yamaha is tops.

I wanted it pretty bad...every musician should have a metronome, and this is perfect for drummers.

rock, jazz / blues, all kinds

It's nice and loud very distinctive.

I like the fact you can wear headphones with it and plug in an outside source like a Cd player. Can't really see much point in the vibration. If you miss a beat your not going to stop playing to reach over and touch the vibration pad. They need to throw in the adapter for the price.

Find it very light. Thought it would be a little more heavy.

Could be cheaper.

Any...I like it all. the only way to be to be a good musician

The sound is great for MARCHING BAND. Everyone complains about the beep but it is perfect for marching band.

The vibration is good for a music tech on the feild so they can hold the metronome and know the beat if they cant here it over the drumline.

Marching Band

It's called the ClickStation--but it doesn't click! It beeps! What good is *that* when you're playing an instrument that generates a discernable pitch, as opposed to, say, playing drums? Further, the sound has such a loud and horrible high frequency element to it that it's impossible to listen to it through headphones without getting a headache almost immediately. Yamaha really dropped the ball on the sound in this item.

The features are not bad--except that for $139 I would expect the unit to come with several different choices of clicks. I would also expect to receive the AC adapter as part of the package instead of having to buy it separately.

For the money paid, I would expect something that feels more solid, and not made with such flimsy and cheap plastic. This thing feels as though it could rattle itself apart.

No. This is one of the more expensive metronomes out there, but I do not believe it is one of the best.

I'm planning on returning the unit.

Again, the sounds are a real turn-off.
