   What does a downbeat mean?

   • The downbeat is defined as beat one of the measure. The term comes from conducting and refers to the down-stroke defining beat one. Now people use this term incorrectly quite often. A lot of people use it to mean every beat of the measure—one, two, three, four—instead of just beat one. The correct term for that is on-beat.

   Why do people call each beat a downbeat?

   • First, people often tap their feet down on the beat. Second, guitarists often pick or strum down strokes on the beat. So, both of these things lead people to call each beat a downbeat.
