Tips for accuracy
- Tap on the quarter note — the most steady downbeat.
- For half-time hip-hop, double your taps and divide BPM by 2.
- For drum & bass, halve your taps and multiply BPM by 2.
- Pause and restart if the tempo shifts mid-song.
Why BPM matters
BPM (beats per minute) is the heartbeat of a track. DJs match BPM for seamless mixing. Producers sync delay and reverb to BPM for tight grooves.
Common ranges: hip-hop 80–110, house 120–130, techno 125–145, drum & bass 170–180.
