About 170 BPM
170 BPM falls in the Vivace range - very lively and brimming with intensity. This is a demanding tempo that challenges even experienced musicians to maintain precision and control. At nearly three beats per second, every note counts and every rest must be deliberate. Music at this speed has an unmistakable urgency that commands attention.
Music at 170 BPM
170 BPM is the home turf of drum & bass and jungle music, where breakbeats and rolling basslines create an electrifying atmosphere. It's also common in thrash metal, speed metal, and hardcore punk. On the classical side, many Vivace movements from Baroque and Classical-era compositions target this tempo. Fast bluegrass fiddle tunes and Irish reels often push into this territory as well.
