Why do I need Backbeater?

Musicians playing in a band often interpret tempo differently. Budding musicians and music students sometimes find it difficult to maintain tempo. Traditional metronomes can help address these challenges; however, they are often difficult to use, off-putting, and unnecessarily fiddly—not to mention expensive for what they attempt to accomplish.

Here at Makers4Good, we figured there must be a better way. We designed a product that monitors your tempo, displays it clearly, and is easy to use in the playing environments of modern drummers. By optimizing your mobile device’s large screen and interface, we’ve managed to make what we believe is a much better, clearer, cheaper, more sensitive, and more versatile product than those previously available.

Best of all, Makers4Good donates its profits to charities, including music education charities. You get a great tempo monitoring system, and you help us help music educators and their students.

Our Backbeater interactive metronome app is FREE and easy to use. It shows you all you need to know about your tempo on one screen. This data is large and easily viewed while playing your kit. The long-awaited Android version was released at the end of 2018.
