Folk Style blues Stomp Box

Hello,

Just received Beat Buddy today. There’s quite a list to go through. I am looking for a simple tap foot to keep time. The old folk blues guitarist called them stomp boxes. They would either be made of wood, and I have heard sometimes an old cigar box was used. It gave the foot keeping time a more bass sound, and worked well in that genre of music.
Does Beat Buddy have anything like that? So, far although impressed by what is available, I haven’t found anything that simple. Yes, the metronome is simple but it’s not the same sound,…. Metronome 9n Beat Buddy sounds electronic/digital. Catfish Keith, used an old stomp box for awhile, if anyone would like a reference to what I am talking about. (Not sure if he still does.) The old stomp box accentuated the sound of a tapping foot making it sound more like a drum.

If you’re willing to try BBMO then this kind of thing would be super simple to construct :relieved:

But before that, did you try to change the drum set for the BB metronome if that would change the sound for better :thinking:

Grateful for the your suggestion and time.

“ ,… did you try to change the drum set for the BB metronome,…?”

No, I am so new to this device I had no idea changing the sound of metronome was a possibility. I will give it a try.

Thank you.

Yes, the sound is defined by the drum set, so by changing drum set the sound will change too :relieved: But I’m not sure which instrument the metronome is in other drum sets :sweat_smile:

It could be that other drumsets don’t have anything at that position which would result with no sound :no_mouth: Or it could be a bass drum or anything.

If there is no sound or the instrument is not what you want then that is easy to change with the BBMO using the midi editor :blush:

You might find what you’re looking for in some of the user-created drum sets:

or

There are Cajon kits as well, at least one of them is here “Missing” kits and you can try this kit too Ben’s Cajon and others; here’s an interesting link

You’ll have to learn how to use the BBMO to Import Drum Sets so hopefully you’ll find something suitable to your tastes.
