BPM Tap Trainer

Feel the beat — work out the BPM

Tap the button in time with the music. The tool works out the BPM from your taps automatically — exactly the way professional DJs do it, before Rekordbox takes over for you.

What you learn with it

Sharpening your ear for BPM. DJs who can feel BPM react faster when mixing and make fewer mistakes beatmatching manually.

How to use the tool

1.

Play the track you want to measure

2.

Tap the TAP button rhythmically in time with the kick drum

3.

After 4 taps you'll see the first BPM result

4.

Keep tapping — the result gets more accurate with every tap (average of the last 8 taps)

5.

Tip: use the space bar on desktop for more precise input

Pro tip

Always tap on the downbeat (beat 1) — the kick drum in 4/4 time. Don't tap the offbeat or the hi-hat.

The tool — try it now

Recommended practice time

15–30 minutes

Take the time in one go — hearing and timing develop through repetition, not through reading.
