The WRW-106 is the drummer's best friend, unless you have no rhythm at all. To call it a metronome is doing it a disservice. There is so much more to it. Like, multiple rhythms, human voice counting, tap tempo function and a timer are just a few of the features of this rhythm machine. You can play along to the rhythms you set; tap the Start/ Tap button to set your own tempo. The extra wide LCD panel shows you the time signature, note value, tempo, and time remaining.
