150 BPM Metronome

This metronome is preset to 150 BPM — press play (or the spacebar) and it ticks 150 beats per minute. In classical terms 150 BPM is Allegro, fast, bright and lively. It's a common tempo for dubstep (half-time), hardstyle and drumstep.

What 150 BPM means

Tempo is just beats per minute, so 150 BPM works out to:

• 400 ms between each beat
• 2.5 beats every second
• 1.6 seconds for one bar of 4/4

A demanding tempo. Build up to it 5 BPM at a time; if you can't play it cleanly, drop back down until you can.

How to practise at 150 BPM

Start the metronome above and play one note per click until it feels locked in. If 150BPM 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.
