R&B BPM

How fast, and who says so

Where the two sources overlap: 80–90 BPM. Each in its own words:

• Whipped Cream Sounds, What Tempo is RnB Music Made At? We Analysed 50 Songs (2022): 80–120 BPM
• Orphiq, BPM Chart by Genre (2026): 60–90 BPM

The groove on this page

R&B's sources disagree, and the reason is the music: Orphiq gives 60 to 90 for the slow jam, Whipped Cream Sounds measured fifty songs at an average of 109 with most between 80 and 120. They agree on 80 to 90. The groove is swung and sparse, a kick that answers itself late in the bar, a snare on two and four with a soft clap behind it, and hats with gaps in them.

On this page: the app's Warm kit at 86 BPM, swing 58 %.

Delay and LFO values

A delay in time with the track repeats once per note value: a quarter note lasts 60,000 divided by the BPM, in milliseconds. Dotted is one and a half times that, triplet two thirds. An LFO synced to a note value cycles at 1,000 divided by those milliseconds, in Hz. The table follows the tempo above: − and + move it, and so does a tempo you tap.

Genres near this tempo

• Lo-fi hip-hop: 60–80 BPM

• Reggaeton: about 90 BPM
• Pop: 80–104 BPM

Then make something of it

The door opens Brumm, a club track with a beat and a bass, with this groove's low end in it. The app runs between 90 and 150 BPM, so a faster or slower tempo goes in at half or double. No account, no upload: it travels inside the link. Hum a line over it, and it becomes an instrument.

Nothing is recorded: no microphone, only your taps, counted in the browser. The groove's sounds are the app's own samples, fetched when you tap Play. How the site counts visits.
