Yamaha Clickstation Best Metronome for Drums

In my own personal opinion, I think the Yamaha ClickStation is by far the best metronome out there. Similar to the Boss DB-90, the ClickStation has a staggering amount of features. The only problem is that you can’t buy it anymore!

One of the most unique features of the ClickStation is the vibrate feature. When enabled, the whole device will vibrate allowing you to feel the pulse instead of hearing it.

Unfortunately, Yamaha discontinued the product a few years back, and it can no longer be purchased in stores.

Features 86 memory allocations

ClickStation gives you the ability to save 86 tempos to have readily accessible. If you are going to use it in a live situation you can program up to 10 chains of 20 songs, making transitions between songs quick and smooth.

Feel the Tempo

The ClickStation has a small round vibrating pad so if you can’t hear it or watch the light you can press the pad to feel the tempo.

Individual Subdivision Volume Adjustment

You have individual sliders to adjust the volume in subdivisions of half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth notes and eighth note triplets, and accompaniment. This lets you fine-tune the volume output of each subdivision to create complex rhythms.

Backlit LCD Display

This feature let’s you see the LCD display even on a dark stage. It can be set to stay on as long as the power is on or to switch of to save battery power.

10-Key Pad

In addition to the jog dial, the 10-key pad provides past input of tempos and access to ClickStation’s functions.

MIDI In Jack

With the MIDI In jack, ClickStation is able to sync with the MIDI clock from a sequencer or other MIDI devices.

Trigger Input

Connect a Yamaha DTX pad and use the pad to start/stop the metronome or use it for the tap tempo function.
