This metronome is preset to 125 BPM — press play (or the spacebar) and it ticks 125 beats per minute. In classical terms 125 BPM is Allegro, fast, bright and lively. It's a common tempo for house, EDM, Punjabi pop and uptempo Bollywood.
What 125 BPM means
Tempo is just beats per minute, so 125 BPM works out to:
- 480 ms between each beat
- 2.08 beats every second
- 1.92 seconds for one bar of 4/4
Performance-range for most pop, Bollywood and dance music — practise here once the notes are clean at a slower tempo.
How to practise at 125 BPM
Start the metronome above and play one note per click until it feels locked in. If 125BPM is too fast to play cleanly, drop to a slower tempo, nail it there, then come back. If it's too easy, nudge it up 5 BPM at a time. Tap-tempo on the main metronomeif you want to match a song you're hearing.
