Drum Tempo Sensor

Backbeater mounts directly to your snare drum, and picks up every strike on your snare. The hardware works with our app to provide real-time feedback on your playing, and helps you keep a rock-steady beat.

 Included with Backbeater

  • App Instructions: The free Backbeater app will display your drumming tempo and alert you if you are too fast or too slow.

  • Sensor and Mounting Bracket: The Sensor attaches to your drum with the Clip & measures your playing tempo.

  • Wiretap: Connects the sensor and your headphones to the app at the same time.

Optionally Available

  • Hi-Hat Phone Mount: Available with our Backbeater Deluxe, the Hi-Hat Phone Mount allows you to mount your phone right where you can see it best while playing. Both parts of the Grifiti Nootle Universal Quick Release Pipe Clamp & Phone Mount (for 4.5” – 6.5” diagonal screens) have standard ¼-20 threaded connectors for maximum compatibility.

 Mounting the Sensor

 Our tempo sensor mounts directly under any of your snare drum’s tension rods with no special equipment. You simply loosen one of the lugs, slide the sensor clip directly underneath it, and re-tighten the lug.
