I set it on the floor next the bass pedal, it’s not very clean. But readable and practical thought.
I'm only aware of the one app. It does struggle with anything other than 4/4 (it kind of futzes up with 3s and 6s) and often will count a slower tempo doubled up (i.e. an 80 bpm beat at 160). I find that it's still very helpful because whatever tempo it does detect, it shows if you're staying constant. It's made me very aware of where time flexes in a song and I've become much better at keeping solid tempos without a net because of it.I feel out of the loop...
I'm just now discovering this is a thing. Are there different versions of LiveBPM? I see "Beat Counter" and "Beat Detector". Are these actually the same or is one an upgrade over the other? One site I saw seemed to have awful reviews of it, with most people complaining of inaccuracies or simply not registering.
Does this only work for simple "2 & 4" music? Does ghost notes, shuffles, comping, etc. mess up the readings?

I've got clear heads on my toms, so I put it on the floor under my floor tom at just the right angle that I can see it through the drum.Question about the Live Bpm, where do you position the phone when you play?
