I have always wanted to find a good on-line metronome that worked flawlessly so that I could practice or find the perfect tempo wherever I had an internet connection. I am sure nowadays most of us have a metronome on their mobile, but I found that these 5 following free on-line metronomes had something cool to offer, and also worked smoothly.

This is probably the metronome I prefer in terms of graphics and ease of use. Very straight forward and intuitive.

From the same website, the advanced version offers the possibility of creating drum patters and the choosing the volume of the different drum parts.

This has been around for quite a while, as a matter of fact it was embedded on TrueGuitarist.com a while ago. Even though the metronome is still great, the authors have added quite a bit of advertising to the bottom of the page, making it (to my opinion) a bit cluttered.

This is my favourite one by far. I use it on a daily basis with all my students and when I practice. Simple to use, very intuitive, with a ‘tap tempo’ feature (just click on the foot or press ‘T’) and a very classy looking ‘retro’ feel that takes me back to my childhood.

Probably not the best looking in terms of graphic design, still I think this is a very easy and straight forward online metronome, with the option or changing the ‘click’ with a preset drum groove in different styles.
