Tips for Accurate Tap Tempo

•

Tap at least 4-8 times for more accurate BPM results. The tool averages your taps.

•

Focus on the main beat (usually kick drum or snare) rather than hi-hats or other fast rhythms.

•

Tap consistently - try to maintain the same rhythm throughout for best accuracy.

•

Use keyboard spacebar for faster, more rhythmic tapping compared to mouse clicks.
