YouTube has a fair amount of metronome and drum tracks in various tempos.

I would personally advise against it, as there has been on issue driving me nuts with it. Whenever the bottom number of the time signature is changed (i.e. 7/4 ---> 7/8) the clicks are exactly the same. Basically any time signature you set is x/4.
However, my brother who uses the same app didn't seem to experience the issue, it might just (somehow) be an issue on my end, rather than with the app in general. Although if it worked properly for me, I'd be willing to pay for the extra features because it does seem to be a well put together app for the remaining part.

The app was doing that until I upgraded to the pro version. Once they got their money, it became my favorite Metronome by far.

Play to the beat in your head. Use that as your metronome.

+1 on Pro Metronome. It's also available for Android

 

[smeet]

I much prefer to run music applications on my (mac) desktop. Is there a really good software metronome/drum machine that can easily do odd times, alternate played and dropped bars (for groove training), etc. that works on a desktop mac?

I have and use Logic, which can do anything, but I really want something that takes 5 seconds to set up a practice session, without all the baggage of something like Logic.

I've been using the free Metronome Beats for my android, and am quite happy with it.

 

[IJBurns]

I think Pro Metronome will work on a Mac. If so, it's has all the features you're looking for.

Doesn't look like it, from the website:
"Available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch"

This is the one I use and like you, I'm happy with it. Does what I need to do. The pro (paid) version is way more versatile, but the free one can keep time. I like the feature that Smeet mentioned where you can alternate playing and muting bars. Really helps set your internal groove clock.

ehhhhhhh...

Is that the sound of you leaning over on your metronome?

I use Metronomics HD on my Macbook, but make sure it does all that you want.

I am using 7metronome for android. So far the best metronome app for me. And of course Drum Genius.

Hi! Try our metronome. It is accurate and made in Material Design style. It will be very interesting to know your opinion about our application. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nixgame.metronome

I recommend trying a BPM meter instead of (or in addition to) a metronome. I use one called livebpm for the phone. I find it to be more helpful that a metronome in building an internal sense of time. it also allows you to see when you rush or drag and after a bit you start to see patterns in when/why it happens which helps in correcting it. Im' also a drummer and I use it often when practicing with groups. very useful tool.
