Front-panel sliders, buttons, and a large rotary dial provide instant, hands-on access to edit parameters. Select four different click sounds, including a human voice-counting sound that will help you know your place in the bar. The DB-90 is also equipped with realistic PCM drum patterns, for developing your accuracy and rhythmic feel effectively.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2025Style: DB-30Verified PurchaseThis metronome is easy to use, has a clip for your shirt pocket or belt and easy to use with headphones. It has just the right amount of features you need.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2025Style: DB-90Verified PurchaseExcellent product and great quality
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2012Style: DB-90Verified PurchaseI have been using the Boss DB-88 metronome previously. I used that model since 1999 when I was in my high school drum line. It was a great metronome to use in a drum line as well as playing a drum set. I eventually bought my own in 2003. The DB-90 has been out for a while now - I remember wanting to get it as soon as it came out, but I figured I'd wait until my good old DB-88 stopped working.
Unfortunately, that time as come (after using my own for nearly 9 years!!!)
The DB-90 is packed with SO MANY more features compared to the DB-88. I won't get into them all here since you can find them in the production description. I'll just say that the biggest upgrade for me going from the DB-88 to the DB-90 is the amount of memory slots you get. I have been used to only having 8 slots for so long. I was always struggling to figure out which times to delete from the metronome when I needed more room. Luckily, the DB-90 comes with 50 memory slots! I no longer need to decide which times to get rid of, because I have WAY more than enough room to save all of the times that I need!
All-in-all, this metronome is a great replacement for the DB-88. I am extremely satisfied. To anyone who is looking for a metronome that will help you grow your skills, this is definitely the one. It has a great range of features that can help basic to the even most advanced players progress with playing to a click. I don't think any other metronome is as good as this... Boss knows has to produce perhaps one of the (if not, best) metronomes in the industry. I have been playing drums for 19 years to date, and I cannot recommend any other metronome as much as this one.
My vote: BUY IT - You will not be disappointed!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2016Style: DB-90Verified PurchaseI play guitar and I bought this for groove training purposes.
It has four voices for the metronome and several drum beats to choose from. The first three metronome voices are various clicks, the fourth is a voice counting out the beats. The click sounds are all fine and are loud enough for playing an acoustic or turned down electric to. If I want to crank it up there's a headphone out that I can run into the amp. The voice count seemed a bit hokey to me at first, until I was trying to learn a solo with a long break before coming back in on an off beat. The voice count was super helpful for coming back in at the right place.
It has an accent beat that comes in at the top of a measure, a quarter note beat, an eight note beat, a sixteenth note beat, and a triplet. The volume for each can be set with the sliders on the front panel. You can use those volumes to dial in exactly what you need for training. Things I do with it are turn up the accent and the quarter note beat full and the eighth note to half for most practices. I turn the accent and the eighth notes on (leaving the quarter note mute) so that only the up beat is audible, which is great for practicing improvisational soloing and improving your groove. The triplet beat is very handy for practicing music that shuffles or swings.
There are quite a few drum beats you can use as well. The drum sounds are not great, suitable for practice only or jamming with friends. Most of them are strait four (or eight or sixteen) beat and there are several shuffle beats. The only three four beat is Waltz, would be nice to have a few more options than that.
It has onboard memory and you can store settings. If you set the metronome up for a specific song, it can be recalled easily.
The kick stand leaves a bit to be desired. It's made of very thin plastic and feels fragile. I feel like I have to be very careful not to break it, having the metronome up at an angle is important to me when practicing.
All in all I would recommend this to any guitar player who's looking for a metronome that goes up and above the standard quarter note clicking. It's extra features have come in very handy in practicing various songs and working on specific techniques. It has become a staple in my practicing.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2019Style: DB-60Verified PurchaseI am a professional organist and use a metronome on a daily basis. I have gone thru at least 9 different metronomes in the past 10 years. The KLIQ was nice until it lost its mind before the year was up. I own a few Korg TM-50 units and they are real good, but they are a little too quite for my purpose (pipe organs are loud). This is the first time I have tried any of the Boss metronomes and was very immediately impressed with the functionality of it. If there was a higher grading than 5 I would have given this more than five stars.
What I like about the Boss DB-60:
Ease of use.
I love the actual sound, it is more of a old wooden tock instead of a digital ping.
I can instantly add or change half beats or third beats on the fly and give them different volumes.
There is nothing to like about this DB-60, and if and when it breaks ( I am very hard on equipment) I will buy another Boss DB-60. I have finally found a metronome I really like after 50 years in the business.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2022Style: DB-30Verified PurchaseI have tried different metronomes before, but none of them as convenient as this one. Traditional is fragile and bulky, digital gave me terribly sharp and loud, disturbing sound, I did not like metronomes until I got this one, now I am happy to exercise using this metronome, it is so light, handy, does not take much place, easy to use, gives very soft and easy adjustable sound, so people in next room are not disturbed with my workouts and it is pretty advanced device, it gives different rhythmic patterns, it uses lights indicating strong beat and arrow on monitor, so it may be used even without sound, good range of tempos, can be used as tuner ant has more functions, which I do not even use. It has small size, so it can be always with me and I really love this metronome.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2022Style: DB-30Verified PurchaseGreat value for the price. Has all the basic features you might need, like volume control, and earbud output. Maybe not quite as easy to change the settings as the DB 90, and you can’t pick different tick sounds, but works perfectly well for a small metronome, portable, great for beginners or intermediate.
