About this app

Don't just jam. Start shedding.

BEAT & FILL BUILDER
Create beats and fills with a guided wizard designed by drummers — every step is built around real musical reasoning, so the patterns you build actually make sense on the kit. Any meter from 2 to 13 over quarters or eighths, mixed subdivisions, swing and pocket feel per voice, rim clicks and ghost notes. Or start from scratch in the full cell-by-cell pattern editor, or describe what you want and let AI generate it. Grid and staff notation views, with sticking letters and counting syllables you can toggle bar by bar. Share your creations with the community.

AI PRACTICE CO-PILOT
Tell the AI what you want to work on and it builds a custom practice session. Ask for a half-time shuffle in 6/8 at 92 BPM, or a linear fill to drill every fourth bar, and get something playable that drops straight into your session. Drill suggestions, tempo recommendations, and structured warm-up routines tailored to your level.

COMMUNITY
Browse and play beats and fills shared by other drummers. Share your own creations. Follow players whose material you like and run the exact drills they're running. Get inspired by what others are practicing.

SHEET MUSIC & EXPORT
Engrave any exercise as a printable PDF — up to 64 bars, with the sticking letters and counts on the bars you choose. Record any beat or fill as a video with grid or notation view — app audio captured directly, no screen recording needed. Export notation as high-res images with sticking labels. Share a link that opens your pattern directly in DrumShed so anyone can hear it, clone it, and practice it. Built for teachers sharing exercises and creators posting to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.

METRONOME DRILLS
A metronome that does more than click. Ten drill engines that harness the click instead of just counting it: Feel Transitions, Tempo Builder, Internal Clock, Accent Placement, Time Signature Builder, Click Displacement, Polyrhythm, Dynamic Control, and Pocket. Configure time signatures, subdivisions, accent patterns, and polyrhythms. Every drill is configurable end to end and saves so it's waiting next session. Automatic tempo progression, count-ins, and voice cues — hands-free.

PRACTICE PATHS
Follow a plan instead of deciding what to practice. Guided starter paths take you through your first groove, your first fill, and your first rudiments — a little each day, at tempos that step up as you go. Tap Learn This on any beat or fill and DrumShed drafts a day-by-day tempo ramp to get it under your hands. Or lay out your own multi-day paths from your own beats, fills, and drills.

PROGRESS TRACKING
See your practice history, streaks, and achievements. Track drill counts and practice time across weeks, months, and all time. Works offline, so a basement with no signal is fine — everything syncs when you're back.

METRONOME — FREE
A fully featured metronome, free forever. Any time signature, any subdivision, polyrhythms, advanced accent patterns — no paywall. Plus pocket and shuffle controls that let you drag or rush the backbeat and shuffle the 8ths or 16ths, so you can practice against a click that grooves. Most apps charge for this. DrumShed gives it away.

Works with any drum kit — acoustic or electronic — or just a practice pad.
