What 160 BPM feels like
One hundred and sixty BPM is genuinely quick — the grid of footwork and juke, the double-time feel of trap, and (heard as half-time) a common drum-and-bass reference. Fast bluegrass and punk live up here too.

Practise in the pocket, not on a grid
The big button above opens our online metronome already set to 160 BPM. Unlike a plain click, it can groove in named human feels — swing, the Dilla pocket, behind the beat — so 160 BPM can lope or push instead of marching. Not sure of your song's tempo? Tap it out and we'll read the BPM for you.
