Metronome FAQ
Is this online metronome free?
Yes. The Drum Ninja metronome is 100% free, with no sign-up, no download and no limits. Set any tempo from 30 to 300 BPM, pick a time signature, and practice as long as you like.
How do I find the BPM (tempo) of a song?
Use the song tempo library above. It lists 170+ popular songs, from Seven Nation Army (124 BPM) to Ace of Spades (226 BPM), each tagged with its real recorded tempo. Tap a track and the metronome instantly matches it. You can also use the Tap Tempo button to find any tempo by ear.
Can I embed this metronome on my own website?
Yes. Click “Embed on your site” at the top of the page to copy a ready-made snippet. It drops a live, working metronome into any blog or website in seconds, free of charge.
What time signatures does it support?
Thirteen: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4, plus compound and odd meters 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8 and 12/8. The first beat of every bar is accented so you always know where “one” is.
How do I use a metronome to practice drums?
Start slow, below the target tempo, and play the part cleanly with the click on every beat. Once it feels locked in, nudge the tempo up a few BPM at a time. Using real song tempos (like the ones in the library) trains you to play the actual groove at the actual speed.
What does BPM mean?
BPM stands for beats per minute: the number of steady pulses in one minute. A higher BPM means a faster tempo. 120 BPM (two beats per second) is a common medium tempo; most pop and rock songs sit between roughly 90 and 160 BPM.
