This metronome is preset to 175 BPM — press play (or the spacebar) and it ticks 175 beats per minute. In classical terms 175 BPM is Vivace, lively and brisk. It's a common tempo for drum & bass, jungle, fast punk and footwork.
What 175 BPM means
Tempo is just beats per minute, so 175 BPM works out to:
- 342.9 ms between each beat
- 2.92 beats every second
- 1.37 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 175 BPM
Start the metronome above and play one note per click until it feels locked in. If 175BPM 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.
