I owned a Pulse device a year and a half before I found out how valuable it was to my playing (drums). I was asked to join a big band / swing band and quickly realized I had to be 100% in the drivers seat. I had to be careful to NOT listen to the sax section or any section carrying the melody and keep that beat driving. The band leader and I had to find a way to get along…even though I was really new to that genre, just trying to make a go of it, I began to use my metronome app (downloaded on mini iPad) and Pulse on my wrist, I was in business! Changed EVERYTHING for me! I was able to focus on my chart and tempo became rock solid. My big band drumming still needs work I’m afraid however my rhythm tools are used at all times, practice and performance. THE BEST! I am SO thankful to have them! Also I track my practice time, SO many tools! Thank you Soundbrenner!
