Open tool & guide →Choose the next useful question.
Start by finding a pulse you can maintain comfortably. A metronome supplies a reference; tap tempo estimates the speed you already hear. Rhythm echo asks you to reproduce a supplied pattern, while the tempo ladder increases speed after a chosen number of bars. These tasks answer different questions, so compare one setting at a time. For composition, move into a drum grid, polyrhythm or Euclidean pattern and inspect the resulting hits before exporting them. Browser timing is useful for practice, but it is not a laboratory measurement of performance.
Each linked workspace has its own example, controls and limitations. Keep the first set short enough to inspect every answer. When a result is surprising, connect it to a reference diagram or write the same pattern yourself before increasing difficulty. The aim is a repeatable observation you can take to an instrument, not a larger score without understanding.
