Where you hear 50.

At 50 BPM each beat lands 1.2 seconds apart, a largo. It suits slow hymns and the half-time count of a ballad that really runs at 100, and it is a favourite drill tempo for drummers who want to feel the space between hits.

One beat is 1,200 ms.

A 4/4 bar is 4.8 seconds. Every note value at 50 BPM, for delays, reverbs and anything that moves in time. Tap one to copy it.

Before you play.

Is 50 BPM slow?

Yes; largo runs from about 45 to 60, and 50 sits in the middle of it.

How long is a beat at 50 BPM?

1,200 milliseconds, or 4.8 seconds for a bar of four.

Who uses a 50 BPM metronome?

Drummers working on evenness, pianists learning a piece, and anyone counting a 100 BPM song in half time.

Can I use the click track in my DAW?

It is. The WAV runs at exactly 50 BPM from its first beat, so a project set to 50 with the file on bar 1 lines up to the sample.
