What 70 BPM feels like

Seventy BPM is heavy and unhurried — the pocket of slow soul, sensual R&B and half-time trap, where the hi-hats skitter while the snare lands on beat 3. Just above a resting heartbeat, it feels deliberate without dragging.

Common at 70 BPM

Practise in the pocket, not on a grid

The big button above opens our online metronome already set to 70 BPM. Unlike a plain click, it can groove in named human feels — swing, the Dilla pocket, behind the beat — so 70 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.
