Frequently asked questions
Why is 174 BPM the standard for drum & bass?
Drum & bass evolved from jungle in the early 1990s, which itself sped up breakbeats from 160 to 175+ BPM. 174 BPM stuck as the canonical tempo because it sits perfectly for chopped Amen breaks and rolling sub-bass.
Is 174 BPM too fast for vocals?
Not at all — DnB vocals usually sit in a half-time feel at 87 BPM, giving singers room to breathe over the breakneck drums. ONYX handles this layered tempo relationship automatically.
What genres outside DnB use 174 BPM?
Footwork, juke, and some breakcore subgenres also live at 174 BPM. Hardcore and gabber push even higher (180–250+ BPM).
