About Guess the BPM

Train your sense of tempo. A drum groove plays at a hidden speed between 60 and 180 beats per minute, and you set your guess with a slider and fine-tune buttons. Exact guesses score 100 points, and you lose 4 points for every BPM you're off. Five rounds, a best score saved in your browser and a leaderboard for anyone who signs in. Great practice for DJs, drummers and dancers.

How to play Guess the BPM

  1. Press Start and listen to the groove. Replay it as often as you like.
  2. Set your guess with the slider and the ±1 / ±10 buttons.
  3. Lock it in to see the real tempo and your points.
  4. Five rounds. Up to 100 points each.

Tips and strategy

  • Know a few anchors: 60 BPM is one beat per second, and 120 is a brisk march.
  • Count beats for a few seconds and multiply.
  • Listen for the hi-hats in bar two: they run twice as fast as the beat.
