It uses your device's built-in microphone to count the beat. Before using, place your iPhone/iPad so that you can see the screen clearly. Our BPM will detect and save how you use tempo changes to enhance your musical expression. After the whole performance, you have the information you need that will help you analyze and be different. You can set up your target tempo and choose an appropriate signature you want to train. If you plug in your headphones, you will be able to hear metronome sound and train your rhythm skills with the help of this handy tool. When you set a specific signature, you will see a graph showing the downbeats and upbeats. Try to beat in such a way as to fill in all the circles and get the right tempo.

TRY IT OUT! Make a beat, feel the vibration and look through your drumming history. BPM is the most precise way of indicating fast tempo or slow tempo. Different tempos fall into specific ranges, which are helpful when determining the BPM as well as what music works best for you: Largo (very slow) is 40–60 BPM. Larghetto (less slow) is 60–66 BPM. Adagio (moderately slow) is 66–76 BPM. Andante (walking speed) is 76–108 BPM. Moderato (moderate) is 108–120 BPM. Allegro (fast) is 120–168 BPM. Presto (faster) is 168–200 BPM. Prestissimo (even faster) is 200+ BPM. Enjoy the beat while we’ve got you covered! [Ideas? Questions?] If you are a practicing drummer, we are open to your suggestions.
