Nice idea, it doesn't work consistently, and it is very hard to feel the vibrations, but that would become easier with more use. Connection with the app almost always causes either the app or the wearable to fail to function, usually requires a restart of both. Wish there was a way to connect it to my DAW without latency issues and the strange wavering in tempo I've experienced.

Hey Adrian, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and feedback, it really does help us to improve. There shouldn't be issues with the consistency or the connection, have you updated your firmware to the latest version? Please also contact our support team at support@soundbrenner.com and they would be happy to help you out.

I don’t like how the pulse is dependent on the app to know how many bpm it is set too.

Hey there, Thanks for the feedback on the Pulse! Just to let you know, we've received this feedback when first launching the Pulse, and took this into consideration when creating the Core.

Let me say I love the Soundbrenner Pulse and use it for rehearsals, private practice and live work. I play in a covers band mainly in pubs and the Soundbrenner Pulse is a simple and effective set up for these situations. I believe both my feel and time keeping have improved as a result of playing with a Soundbrenner Pulse and so I recommend them for drummers. Downsides? I have the Pulse freeze on me and become unresponsive. It needed a hard reset which is not convenient. I have also had to return a device as the inner motor(?) broke. I have 2 Pulses and am concerned the first one is following this path. They do not have a hard life (beyond being on a drummer's arm!) so I am hoping this is a nearly generation problem. I will continue to use a Soundbrenner Pulse as the advantages easily outweigh the disadvantages - oh and the Customer Care has been consistently excellent. Steve Brewer

Hey Steve! Thanks for taking the time to leave us your review, we're glad to hear that you've enjoyed your Pulse! Regarding some of your issues, we have a low defective rate and so your second Pulse shouldn't have any issues whatsoever. The freezing up issue we've fixed via firmware updates so please ensure that your Pulse is on the latest firmware!

I have found it to be an invaluable practice tool and the app interface makes operation and adjustment of beats, time signatures, and tempos easy and quick. The drummer I normally play with is now planning on purchasing one for us to utilize at practice and live. I'll let you know how it goes.

Its a welcome change from the boring old metronome and much better that phone apps alone. I don't understand why location is required to connect a device each time and is a minor annoyance with an otherwise great product.
