Time beater (9)

I believe the answer is:

metronome

(Other definitions for metronome that I've seen before include "Ticker setting tempo of music" , "Device to help regulate tempo" , "Musical timekeeper" , "Musician's timekeeper" , "Device that sounds tempo for music practice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Thinks.com.
