Peterson BodyBeat BB-1 Pulsing Metronome
The Peterson BodyBeat is the world's first pocket "Feel It" metronome. It works like a standard metronome with audio speaker and headphone output BUT... using the included Vibe Clip, it also allows the tempo to be internalized, unlike audio-only metronomes which often mask and spoil the music for the participating musician - distracting them from the music itself.

It's suitable for every musician, student or professional, from percussionist to flute player and all points between. Even choral students can use it!

The BodyBeat offers an alternate approach on typical metronome use. The BodyBeat metronome produces a pulsing vibration allowing musicians to easily internalize the beat. The BodyBeat clips onto the belt line and a small separate Vibe Clip transmits the beat, in the form of a pulse (including subdivisions and accents) directly to the user.

Research has shown that separate neural pathways to the brain exist for tactile impulses and visible/audible information which is why musicians find that tactile pulses are quickly internalized, allowing them to concentrate on reading and listening to the music without the constant distraction of an audio or visual metronome. Feeling the beat, not having to listen to clicks or look at blinking LEDs makes it much easier to focus on the music and playing in correct time.

The BodyBeat provides drummers and percussionists with a rhythmic pulse they can feel rather than hear, avoiding the fatigue and potential harm caused by prolonged exposure to monotonous clicks and cowbell sounds. This patented technology represents a significant advance in the metronome field. The BodyBeat can also be used like an ordinary metronome with audible and visual modes.
