First BodyBeat Video

Hi everyone we’ve got our first BodyBeat video posted (excuse the Danish):

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Chris’ Corner at DOT Music. In my corner I will provide exercises, discussion and informative links relating to the Body Beat and future products we will carry. I want to make this sight a place where a musician can buy really wonderful products and various forms of training pertaining to these products.

Our premier product, the Body Beat is a personal passion of mine especially since I am the inventor of this new technology. Soon I will post free links to download a beginning curriculum called Body Beat Basics that will help everyone to use the Body Beat in very practical teaching and performing environments.

That is all for now, however, there will be new content coming.

Thanks everyone,

Chris Parsons

BodyBeat available now!

Hi again everyone,

We’re really pleased to announce our first product in association with Peterson Tuners. Here’s the official press release:

“Alsip, Illinois, USA - 12/14/2007 - Peterson announces BodyBeat, a new metronome that produces a pulsing vibration allowing musicians to easily internalize the beat. The BodyBeat clips onto the belt line and a small separate “vibe clip” transmits the beat, in the form of a pulse (including subdivisions and accents) directly to the user.

Research has shown that separate neural pathways to the brain exist for tactile impulses and visible/audible information which is why musicians find that tactile pulses are quickly internalized, allowing them to concentrate on reading and listening to the music without the constant distraction of an audio or visual metronome. Feeling the beat, not having to listen to clicks or look at blinking LEDs makes it much easier to focus on the music and playing in correct time. The BodyBeat provides drummers and percussionists with a rhythmic pulse they can feel rather than hear, avoiding the fatigue and potential harm caused by prolonged exposure to monotonous clicks and cowbell sounds. This patented technology represents a significant advance for metronomes. The BodyBeat® can also be used like an ordinary metronome with audible and visual modes. An A440 reference tone is also featured. Suitable for all musicians. MSRP: $129.00″
