We present a dataset consisting of metrical structure annotations for the GTZAN dataset.
- The metrical structure is represented by the pulse rates (in BPM) of all the metrical levels present in the music
- The annotations have been made by Professional drummers
- Each track of the dataset have been annotated at least twice, so that the level of inter-annotator agreement can be assessed
