Metronome recommendations

Gear
#1

I’m looking for a good metronome app (free or paid) to do practice speed runs. I play mostly Rush, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden etc. and I’m looking for these features:

  • Go from 60 bpm to 240 bpm (I see many metronomes stop at 208. What’s up with that?)
  • Able to increment quickly by 10 or 20 (i.e. from 140 to 160 to 180 without too much fidgeting/dialing)
  • Have at least a few sound settings (bass drum / snare drum alternating by upbeat vs downbeat etc.) instead of a uniform click or sound. I guess this rules out most mechanical metronomes and why an amp may be the right choice for me.
  • Added bonus — able to program different time signatures (3/4 and 4/4).

Any suggestions? Am I overlooking any other important features?

Timeguru is great, but I don’t think you can assign different sounds to different beats

I use Metronome Beats on Android and TempoPerfect on Windows.

Both have everything you requested.
