4.8 (23)How fast 100 BPM is
At 100 BPM the metronome clicks 100 times a minute: ≈ 1.67 beats a second, one every 600 ms. On the usual scale of Italian tempo markings, 100 BPM falls in Andante and Andantino.
Press Start and the click begins at 100 BPM; nudge it with − and + or the slider. To learn a passage for 100 BPM, start at about 80% (around 80 BPM) and raise the tempo a few BPM at a time — the Pro tab's speed trainer does the raising for you, and its subdivisions add eighths (200 clicks a minute) or sixteenths (400).
