Core Tempo Inside

Zero-Latency Click

Scheduled against the audio sample clock, so the click holds through an hour-long session.

Tap Tempo & Subdivisions

Tap four beats and the app sets BPM, note value and accent. Switch subdivisions mid-bar.

From the practice room

Every click lands where I expect it. I ran an hour-long tracking session and it never drifted once — that alone made it worth switching.

Sample Name Session drummer · Core Tempo

Tap tempo is the fastest I've used. Four beats and it's locked, then I'm straight back into the bar.

Sample Name Drum teacher · Core Tempo

My students build a routine once and just run it. Fewer excuses, and I can see what they actually practised.

Sample Name Percussion instructor · Core Tempo

Switching subdivisions mid-bar without stopping the click completely changed how I practise sixteenths.

Sample Name Music student · Core Tempo

Setlist sync pushed the tempo map to every phone on stage in seconds. No laptop babysitting.

Sample Name Gigging drummer · Core Tempo

It does the one job properly and gets out of the way. That is rarer than it should be.

Sample Name Worship drummer · Core Tempo
