Plugging in any kind of midi pad foot pedal makes it so much easier to switch songs during a set list. It becomes a hands free process and the sticks never have to leave your hands. It's as easy as one foot click during the crash out of each song.
We use a Boss FS-6 A/B switch pedal to do this. I also have my MIDI out of my computer DAW (used for stem tracks) connected to the MIDI in of the DB-90 to optionally start the metronome from the computer (MIDI mode must be engaged on the DB-90.)
for corps usually one day on busy training days then 3 days for tour. but nowadays we use rechargeable stuff idk how they do it i never really came up close to the met but i know when we change the met battery
I have been in a few bands and I have never ever seen the drummer using a metronome in a live situation. They are handy for practicing your technique, but I don't know many drummers that use them live
Many big acts, Broadway Shows etc are using a click of some kind to sync with sequences, lights etc. I’ve played in many large worship situations where a click was used. Do I love playing a click, no. However, it’s often there and you need to be skilled at playing with it.
Sorry..."The battery saves the programmed information to the device and without the battery every programming ist lost." Seriously?! So the battery works as a memory device like a USB-Stick?! Or how is this meant? Programming the metronome with power cable connected but without battery inside wouldn't work?! Hopefully this is a wrong information or misunderstood. Otherwise it's the most gigantic conception mistake BOSS could have ever realised :)! How if I have to change the battery one day? Is all programming lost?` Thanks for answering. Tom
It seems that the BD 90 uses volatile memory, which means it needs a constant power supply to store the programs. So, it’s not the battery; it’s the constant current that is required. You could use an alternative power supply, but you can also replace the 9V battery. The BD 90 can hold the memory for 7 seconds after the current is gone, so that can give you time to replace it. As long as you replace it in that 7-second interval, your programs should be safe.
Sorry, but if your drummer can't keep the time of the piece that you are playing, then you need a better drummer. Metronomes are for practice not for live performances, that's your drummers job.
All the big drummers on huge tours use click tracks to keep in time with back trackings to also keep other members in time. Shows how much you fucking know.

This is crazy helpful. Thank you so much
is it possible to program odd time signatures with this? and the amounts of bars and tempo changes within one song? and time signature changes also
Thanks!
Can I make Boss DB 90 and wireless in ear minitor both work?
Superb review bro
Great ,..thanks for that,..
+Bobby Brown my pleasure!
How do I turn off the mic? It got turned on accidentally and now any noise interrupts and rests the device
How long does the battery last?
it's hard to say, but mine lasted about a year.

in the context of today's "modern" worship (Ableton, Multitracks, etc) it almost goes without saying that you use a click.
In church music, it helps tremendously.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. 👍
Most large churches have a click track for all musicians not just drummer due to backing tracks etc.

lol musicians anywhere would play with metronome in their ear if they could
