Soundbrenner Pulse

Good and interesting product

This metronome works on an interesting concept of vibrating. The vibrations are fine, handling is fine, you can change colors of the outer ring for each note which is interesting and can help you with orientation if not feeling the vibrations. However, the first one I received came broken, the metronome wouldn't recognize turning the outer ring which is necessary to turn the metronome on/off and change tempo without having to open the application on your phone (also, if you are not using nor have intention of using the Soundbrenner metronome application, I would suggest not buying the product). Also, I have tried the metronome placement only on the hand, I cannot vouch for leg placement. Overall good and interesting product.

too noisy

love idea of this but the vibrations are too noisy for use in studio

Good idea but still needs development

The general idea is pretty cool, feeling the beat instead of hearing (especially when playing loud drums) can be very helpful BUT:

* It sometimes looses the tempo and isn't super accurate, which makes it impossible to use it in practive for me for tempos above 120-140

* If you put the vibrations higher, then it is also longer, which exacerbates the point above

* The application is paid with a subscription ? You get 3 month free if you buy this device but basically if you want to be able to use it to its fullest potential you have to pay a subscription every month. For a product that is tagged at this price, I would expect it to come free.

TLDR: Good idea on paper, but on practice it feels more like a gadget. Also the paid subscription for the application feels like they are just trying to grab as much money from you as possible.

For me it's useless for keeping time

It does what it's advertised to do, and it vibrates your hands at the appropriate bpm. However this doesn't translate to me feeling the beat at all, and believe me I tried. For me it's completely useless as a metronome replacement. That said it might work for you.

Soundbrenner Pulse

I was skeptical when i first purchased the Soundbrenner Pulse. I was also skeptical when i first started using the device. But after a few sessions i realized that this device really helped improve my time keeping. It takes a bit of time getting used to playing along with the pulse, but once you do, i find it better than playing along with a click track. Pulse is money well spent.

Cool Gadget

A lot of fun but still Gadgety!!

Fit for purpose

Much better than a metronome. Of course it needs the phone app, just in case you don't realise. You can also get the app first to see what that is likes. Only neg is that sometimes I have trouble getting it to switch off.

pulse

the only thing i hate about it is the charger

Good metronome, just not for drummers

Great metronome features with the app.

Unfortunately not so suitable for drummers, due all the vibration already happening during the drumming.

Unique metronome!

Useful tool, i practice with this almost every day. It is quick and easy to use both with the app or directly on your wrist. It vibrates and lights up when the beat is played. The intensity of the vibration and the color of the light can be adjusted and can be set differently for every beat of the measure.

It feels very different to practice without the classic audio metronome, i think it has helped me interiorize the tempo better.
