The pulse test
Can you keep the beat when the click stops?
Tap along, then it goes quiet. Keep going. When it comes back: were you early, late or dead on? It’s harder than you think.

What made this test
The metronome that teaches you to play without one
Lifebeat Timekeeper is a practice app for every musician, built by a drummer who teaches. The test you just took is one of its tools.
- Inner PulseThe click, a rhythm or a real drum groove drops out while you keep playing, so the time has to come from you.
- Tempo TrainerIt climbs a few BPM every few bars, from where a part is clean to where you want it.
- A real kitGrooves recorded hit by hit on a ’79 Ludwig Maple, at any tempo, the hard bar on a loop.
The basic metronome plays free, no account needed. A free account opens more: every click sound, every time signature and subdivision, and the Tempo Trainer, all day. Inner Pulse, Beats and Shift ten minutes a day. No card. Or take the whole tour.
