Tap the beat of a song to find its BPM, then practise or record your idea against a steady click at the same tempo.
Writing the BPM down with the idea saves you from guessing later, and a click keeps a demo steady enough to add parts over it. Tap along with a recording, a hum or a loop.
In Zoundroom, write the BPM in the song’s note and record your takes inside it, so the tempo, the lyric and the recordings stay together.
Paste this code into your website, your school’s page or a lesson: the tool works inside the page, free, and links back to Zoundroom.
Play the song and tap along with the kick or the pulse you would clap to. After four to eight taps the average is usually within one BPM; halve or double it if it feels like you are tapping twice per beat.
As a rough guide: ballads 60–80 BPM, pop 95–130, hip-hop 80–100 (or 140–170 counted in half time for trap), house around 120–128 and drum and bass around 170. Genres overlap, so trust the feel.
The click plays as regular audio, so it works with the silent switch on. Turn the volume up and check that no other app is playing sound.
No. It runs in your browser and does not use the microphone.
