I use a Seiko Quartz metronome, model SQ44. Even with my moderately severe hearing loss, it's plenty loud. It can easily be heard while playing any brass instrument.

I recently bought a Dr. Beat (DB66 i think), it is a smaller version of the Dr. Beat and it has worked great for me so far. It is very easy to hear, and is very flexible with the different subdivisions you can use.

Hope this helps.

I use both a Dr. Beat DB 66 (because it is LOUD) and a DB 88 because it has drone pitches and is programmable for mixed meter. Both are kind of expensive but well worth it.

For a complete "freebie" there is always http://www.metronomeonline.com/ that can be turned up as loud as you want (depending solely on your computer's volume capabilities).

I've been using a Boss Dr. Beat DB-88. I can program in complex licks and keep increasing the tempo until I have developed muscle memory.

Not only that, but you can program it to have a woman scream at you ONE! AND! TWO! AND! THREE! AND!...

Now, what's that feature really worth? :)

I like the "TAMA" met. It's top of the line and cheaper than a Dr. Beat. The foot pedal is cool and so is the wheel to change your tempos. It's also got threads on the back for a screw so you can mount in on your drumset next to your high hat! Pretty awesome!
