155 BPM Metronome

This metronome is preset to 155 BPM — press play (or the spacebar) and it ticks 155 beats per minute. In classical terms 155 BPM is Allegro, fast, bright and lively. It's a common tempo for dubstep (half-time), hardstyle and drumstep.

What 155 BPM means

Tempo is just beats per minute, so 155 BPM works out to:

• 387.1 ms between each beat
• 2.58 beats every second
• 1.55 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 155 BPM

Start the metronome above and play one note per click until it feels locked in. If 155BPM 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.
