About this app

This is the free version.

It includes:

The DRUM SET NOTES Section on which you can click notes on the staff to see the corresponding part of the Drum Set and its name, or viceversa: you can click any part of the Drum Set to see the corresponding note on the staff.

This section has exercises on which notes appear on the staff and you have to click the part of Drum Set corresponding to each particular note.

LESSONS Section (Seventy lessons):

These lessons show the way in which the Drum Set is written in different styles of contemporary music.
- Rock Pop
- Blues Rock
- Jazz
- Funk
- Latin Music
- Fusion

On each lesson you will see a sheet music and you will listen what is written on it. You will see animations of the beats, the notes on the staff and the parts of the Drum Set. This allows you to relate what is written on a score with that which is played on the Drum Set.

By clicking the "a" button you will listen all the instruments. By clicking the "b" button you will only listen the Drum Set. You can click on the bar from which you want to repeat.

QUIZZES Section (Seventy quizzes):

Each Quiz is related to a lesson. There are no more animations of the beats, of the notes on the staff, nor the parts of the Drum Set.

You have to click on a button at the moment when you hear each one of the notes marked in red on a sheet music.

DRUMS SIGHT READING EXERCISES (20 exercises):

These exercises will help you develop the ability to relate that which is written in a piece of sheet music with the parts of the Drum Set, in real time.

When the exercise begins you have to click on each part of the Drum Set that corresponds to that which is written. This has to be done at first sight in real time.

In the same way as reading piano music, flute music, violin music or guitar music, all require practice; reading drums becomes easier if you practice it on a daily basis.

Knowing how to read music is very useful if you get drum lessons. Being able to understand a music score helps you to get a better understanding of any type of drum beats. Practicing is the key and this app has been created to let you practice reading drums sheet music when you don´t have your drum set. Music notation for electronic drum set is the same.

Just as a piano player becomes better if he practices reading piano sheet music, a drummer becomes better if he practices reading drum sheet music.

Ratings and reviews

I am a drum instructor and let me tell you, this app is very very good. I have been using it in conjunction with other teaching materials with some of my students and they all really love it. I would love to speak with the developer about requesting a couple features. 1. The ability to loop the musical phase repeatedly without stopping at the end. 2. a tempo control. 3. a place to download PDF versions of the lessons in the app, and MP3s of the audio. 4. a few longer scores. Even as is, it is a great app. Highly recommended for students of reading and playing drums.

Not a fan of the ads...is what it is. It shows you sheet music give you quizzes and you can focus on notes or do whole lessons with just beats or music. Will see how this helps my kids but so far I like it.

Nothing works. I downloaded it and music genres came up, but it was only half my screen. Then I touched the lessons button and it brought me to notations with virtual drums, but the only button that would work is the back button.
