If people from the US love the imperial system so much, why are their musicians using metronomes instead of footonomes? (kbin.social)

Is a beat a metric or Imperial unit?

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Typically tempo is given in Beats-per-minute, while the SI unit would be Hz (Beats/second) but it's just a matter of dividing or multiplying by 60 to convert one to the other and minutes are anyway not more Imperial than they are Metric, so in short I have not answered you questions, you are very welcome.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
