This metronome is preset to 135 BPM — press play (or the spacebar) and it ticks 135 beats per minute. In classical terms 135 BPM is Allegro, fast, bright and lively. It's a common tempo for trance, techno, hard dance and fast Punjabi tracks.
What 135 BPM means
Tempo is just beats per minute, so 135 BPM works out to:
- 444.4 ms between each beat
- 2.25 beats every second
- 1.78 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 135 BPM
Start the metronome above and play one note per click until it feels locked in. If 135BPM 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.
