Drumless: Drum Practice & Tabs

Dreamfrog

About this app

Drumless turns any song into a drum practice session. Bring in a song and you get drum notation synchronized with the music, plus a backing track with the drums taken out so you can play the part yourself.

Whether you are learning your first groove or drilling the bridge before a gig, Drumless gives you the tools to practise smarter.

🥁 WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Practise Any Song You Want
Paste a YouTube link or upload an audio file. Drum notation appears in time with the music, ready to play.

• Play Along to a Real Backing Track
Upload an audio file and the drums are separated out, leaving you a drumless track to play over. Your kit, the real song, nothing in the way.

• Read Drum Sheet Music in Real Time
A cursor follows the audio note by note. See every kick, snare, hi-hat and tom exactly when it lands.

• Loop and Slow Down
Tap any measure to loop the part that keeps falling apart. Drop the tempo until it is clean, then bring it back up.

• Drums-Only Mode
Isolate the drum track and hear exactly what to play before you play it.

• Auto-Generated Grooves and Fills
Rock, funk, blues and metal patterns from beginner to advanced. Fresh material every time, so you never grind the same bar into the ground.

• Rudiment Trainer with Daily Challenges
Single strokes, double strokes, paradiddles, flams and rolls. Your phone listens through the microphone and scores your accuracy, and a daily challenge keeps your streak alive.

• A Practice Path That Knows Where You Are
One clear thing to work on each day and a level to work toward, instead of a blank screen and good intentions.

• High-Precision Metronome
Microsecond-accurate timing, because a drummer can hear the difference.

• Curated Song Library
Human-reviewed drumless backing tracks with the notation already synced and checked.

🎵 HOW IT WORKS

1. Browse the library, paste a YouTube link, or upload an audio file.
2. Get drum notation lined up with the music.
3. Play along at your own tempo, loop any measure, and watch your progress build.

Ratings and reviews

Devs are super nice and fixed the mic issue, sort of. Although now, practice pads are able to be used with that app, there's still a problem when playing at low or even medium dynamics/velocity. Hits will not be registered if below anything that isn't high in dynamics. Also, the count off is honestly kinda trippy since it starts counting from a set bpm of like 85 but then after changes to the scenarios bpm.

So far, So good! Quick, Easy Training. The interface is easy to navigate and makes it easy when you want a quick training session on a practice pad, or even on your kit. This app makes it easy to jump in and start practicing on rudiments, learn grooves and fills and even regenerates different ones based on desired tempo and level of experience. Dev was responsive to providing feedback on minor issues, with a roadmap to improve and add additional QoL improvements. Definitely recommend ✅️

Great help especially while continuing to learn drums! Awesome work OP (found your app through Reddit :) )
