Unboxing a Vintage Boss DB-66 Dr. Beat Metronome (1995 Classic)
In this video, I'm unboxing and putting through its paces a genuine vintage Boss DB-66 Dr. Beat — a longtime professional standard in electronic metronomes from the mid-90s. As a drummer, I'll share my honest opinions, demo how it works, show the handy A440 tuning tone, and fix those common sticky/tight faders using Deoxit Fader spray.
Whether you're a drummer, guitarist, or music educator looking for a reliable, tactile metronome that still holds up in 2026, this one's for you!
