See Mentorship Plans150 BPM means 150 beats a minute, one click every 0.40 seconds. In classical terms it's around Allegro. Upbeat rock, pop-punk and fast swing. At this speed 16th notes start to get demanding, so many players think of it in half time.
At 150 BPM, 8th notes come 5.0 times a second and 16th notes 10.0 times a second. In half time it feels like 75 BPM, and in double time like 300.
Use silent bars: two bars on, two off. Fast tempos are where your time tends to rush, and the gap shows you straight away.
Handy for setting delay times and checking how long notes should last.
