Backbeater is the world's most advanced drum metronome. Backbeater consists of both hardware and software, and works with your smartphone or tablet. Backbeater allows drummers to monitor their tempo: either freestyle, or with a reference tempo. The Backbeater metronome can be set to your rhythm. It can discreetly tell you a tempo you tap out, and it can store lists of tempos, for when you're playing live. Our tempo sensor mounts directly to your snare drum with existing hardware—it fits under one of the lugs that encircle your snare's rim.

    Old version please!
    New version of app is quite inferior to old circular version. Extremely disappointing. I used old version on every gig. This one…nope. Same things are best left alone.

    Option to see old display?
    I got to say, I like the older version of the app better. The Tempo readout font is much larger on the old app and all hits (including early and late hits) cause a flash to show up somewhere on the circle. The new version of the app only triggers the flash when you hit the tempo exactly. If you are early or late, the needle moves, but no obvious indication that the sensor felt the hit. This caused me frustrations a couple times thinking the sensor wasn’t picking up my hits because I was playing too lightly. As others requested.... could you add an option to view the “Circle Display”? Show more

    Bring back the circle!
    The speedometer is interesting, but please give us the option to choose the speedometer or the circle!

    New main screen?
    Dude, I love this sensor and app. It prevents a lot of grief and arguments, and made the band trust me (if reluctantly since they are proven to fight tempo). But this new update??? I much prefer the old circle-with-revolving-dot screen over the new “odometer” screen. Could the old one be added back in as an option to choose for your main interface? Please? Also, the menu screen on the left doesn’t fully come into view when I open it up. Minor bug, though. Show more

    Works great!
    The drum pickup is easy to install and the new app is great. Changing saved song order is very helpful.

    Don’t buy the sensor
    If you want to use the product as just a metronome then try it out but don’t purchase the sensor. The first one I bought work for around a year(maybe) and it do work as stated however it did stop working because the wires detached inside the part that attaches to the drum. I went without for awhile and figured I give it another shot. The new sensor just arrived and it had been redesigned and looked more durable so I was pleased but then it doesn’t work at all out of the box. I’ve asked for a refund and I’m waiting on a response but beware of the sensor it is low quality. Show more

    Comparison
    I was using Tempo-Ref which was okay but IMHO I like Backbeater much better! It’s a great App and works great! Playing solid time is the drummer’s #1 job along with Feel. It’s nice to have proof for yourself that you’re in the pocket and not speeding up or slowing down the tempo!! Great job Backbeater!!! Show more

    Great product
    Best tempo monitor I've ever used. Love that the sensor attaches via a lug and doesn't just sit on the top head. Quality product and would recommend

    App is free because the sensor is not
    I have used a TempoRef for years and wanted to see what’s available for an iPhone app. This app is virtually useless without their sensor, which costs $60. Maybe I’m wrong but a piezo drum trigger runs about $20, so not sure what’s so special about their sensor. I’d love to try it in a live situation but not for $60. Show more
