About this app

As a beginner drummer myself and having some programming skills I've decided to create mobile application, where I can get easy access to paradiddles and other rudiments in a library with clearly visual representation, on/off metronome and training time statistics for each rudiment in a set.
App designed for both beginners and experienced drummers.
Hope it will be useful to other people as well.


Reasons to try:

- Easy and intuitive controls
- No need to know drum musical notation
- Vertical musical tracker-type visual representation
- Dark theme to save your device battery
- BPM constant and acceleration modes
- Prevention of display sleep mode when training
- Slightly different snare sound samples for left and right hand strokes
- Different normal, accents, flam and drag stroke sounds
- Metronome sound and visual blink option with individual volume control
- Time stats for every rudiments and overall training time
- BPM from 10 for very beginners to 320 as hell
- Count-in option
- Metronome sound only mode
- Drums sound only mode
- Silent mode
- Chance to training with no pad and sticks - just your hands and knees
- Small app file size
- Sufficient font size for people with eye issues
- Rudiment editor with random shots generator

Ratings and reviews

great practice layout. I played every instrument in high school and college except the drums. I am 64 and play drums in a rock band and I never learned the rudiments. some of them are natural, but many of them require a lot of practice. the app teaches you by showing right and left in different columns. it definitely cleans up the things that a person does without training by showing you the correct way to play the beats and which hand. it helps with those off beat amd unusual time signatur

Nice free app. Please provide the option to pay for ad-free. Ads are distracting and I couldn't figure out how to close one of them, so I had to quit the app and restart. Also, it would be nice to be able to easily toggle between "get faster every X times" and "stay at this tempo". (Also I saw some NullPointerException, sorry I don't have any useful logs or debugging info.)

Very well thought-out and intuitive usage. The visualization is great, and the options for varying speed and hand order are really useful for practice. Time tracking is an awesome idea to help you keep track of how long it takes you to master a rhythm. In the future it would be cool to see complex time signatures and polyrhythms. Also, if there's some way to do live accuracy grading by using the microphone to listen for stick hits, that would be incredible.
