70 BPM Metronome
A free, accurate 70 beats-per-minute metronome — a slow, weighty pulse. Tap the button below and it starts clicking at exactly 70 BPM, right in your browser.
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
- Slow-jam R&B & soul
- Half-time trap
- Downtempo & lo-fi
- Slow blues
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.
