Bluetooth

A ideia do app é muito boa, porém desde que baixei estou com problemas durante a aula, o app desconecta do Bluetooth e não volta mais. Além de quando está marcado que é pra iniciar com a esquerda mas ele fala direita e também o botão que indica som ligado e desligado, funciona invertido.

No feedback, AI generated app, better watch youtube lessons.

Comparing to Simple piano 2Y experience, this app feels like a fraud. No feedback, app not listening. Full-screen not fixed. Songs just a piece of video clip, notes sheets not aligned to song, barely meets. Totally overpriced.

Great app for learning and practicing drums

I really like this app, super helpful with learning and practicing drums. Good job!

Bien dans l’ensemble

Bonne app dans l’ensemble. J’aime bien l’ergonomie et les exercices donnés l’app est bien pensée.
Par contre l’abonnement est cher pour ce que l’app offre.
Je ne sais pas si je vais poursuivre l’abonnement.

I love drum coach it is easy for beginners and I’m so excited and happy that I can play

Amazing app with only one little problem

This app is a great way for beginner drummer like myself to learn to play but their is just one little issue that I have come across. This app uses a plan of several weeks to get better and it doesn’t show how many days you have played which makes it easy to lose track of how many days you’ve played if you play more than once a day.

Response from developer

Hey Skechmaster95! Thanks so much for the awesome review — we're really glad Drum Coach is helping you learn! 🥁🙌 That’s a great point about tracking practice days, especially if you play more than once a day. We’ll definitely look into adding a clearer way to see your progress and how many days you’ve practiced. If you have any more ideas or feedback, feel free to shoot us a message at support@upbeat.studio — we’re always listening! Keep on drumming! 🔥🥁

I was really excited about this app but...

This app is pretty great, there just needs to be a way to rewind a lesson without restarting the entire lesson. This would enable someone to figure any tricky portions without taking the time of starting the lesson over from the top. Once you have the tricky bit smoothed out then you can get the proper reps in with the correct technique

Thanks for the feedback, Jonoats! 🎉 You are right, you can now jump back into any finished lesson from History and replay it from the top. We are also working on letting you replay individual exercises inside each lesson—coming soon! Stay tuned for updates, and feel free to share more suggestions anytime at support@upbeat.studio. Keep grooving! 🥁

Can’t contact anyone

IT IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT FREE!!!!!! You have to subscribe then they charge you more than advertised on the first week. You do not get your money back if they charge you. I’m stuck with this stupid plan that I’m going to probably delete soon because it’s super basic and not engaging at all. You can look up YouTube videos for free but that’s really all you get with this class. I almost wanted to stop drumming all together because of this app. It’s just a video with only practices that are extremely boring and not like all the other cool apps. I didn’t know it was going to charge me that much and I was just shy of getting my pets meds because of this app. I absolutely suggest finding any other app not this one

Seems great so far but…

I am a brand new drummer. Just got my electric kit and getting some one on one drum lessons, but need to practice at home. Was hoping this could eventually be my music drumming teacher. I put together a AI plan and as you go through the workflow on question 4 or 5. (I think) the button to go to the next page in the workflow is unselectable as the button image is barely showing at the bottom of my iOS. I am hoping maybe my Fire tablet will have a UI without this bug.

If you are noticing that there are not a lot of people signing up for drum plans this is why. Please fix this bug so I can set up my custom practice plan.

Thank you so much

Thanks so much for your detailed feedback and for reporting the issue! 🙏 We're looking into the UI bug right now to make sure you can complete your drum plan smoothly. In the meantime, if you encounter anything else or want to share more details, feel free to reach out to us at support@upbeat.studio. Happy drumming! 🥁💪

Frustrating display

Overall the app seems good but the exercises are frustrating as the next line of music is hidden until you have to start playing it Só you have no time to anticipate what to play. That makes it impossible to keep up unless you greatly reduce the tempo. It would work better if you could see 2 rows at a time.

Good but

The only problem i have is i learn a little it would have been good if its like any other music app so it csn hear you either put in right and say its correct and wrong notes saying its wrong but probably not how app works but i hope its good

Response from developer

Thanks for the 4 stars! We're really glad you're learning with Drum Coach. 🎵 You're right — currently, the app doesn’t "listen" to you play, but that’s a great suggestion. We’re always working to improve, and feedback like yours helps a lot! Got more ideas or thoughts? Write us at support@upbeat.studio. Keep the beat!

bluetooth disconnecting after record session

it’s a good app , help me a lot but every time it record my session the bluetooth won’t work even if it says connect. So it run on the i pad speaker instead of my amplifier.

So good

I feel like a pro doing this now

Response from developer

Hi LIAM Amo, thanks for your awesome review! 🎉🥁 We're thrilled to hear that Drum Coach is making you feel like a pro—that's exactly what we aim for! Keep up the great practice, and if you ever have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to reach out at support@upbeat.studio. Happy drumming! 🚀🔥🎵

It’s the little things that frustrate me

There is a voice that speaks when you perform many actions. While there is an option to silence the voice, it doesn’t silence it all the time or everywhere.

There are not any options for shutting down this annoying voiceover in the app settings.

If you want to send an email to support you are only allowed to do so with the IOS mail app. If you uninstall mail, the app will want you to reinstall mail so that the app can then use it.

This is a terrible way to handle app support emails.

I am not sure what the app considers intermediate, but the exercises it provided me were very basic and always included the annoying voice over.

The options for type of music are very limited, and practice is very static, even at different levels.

Overall, this is probably a decent app for beginners or basic skill maintenance, but not much more than that. Considering the other issues with the app that I outlined above, I won’t be paying for a subscription.

Dear user, thank you for your detailed feedback. This is very important to us. Regarding the support contact, you can reach out to us at anytime at support@upbeat.studio. You are right about the voice-over no being muted in all cases. We are working on solving that very soon. And regarding the level customization, that's a tough one to get perfect for all user but this is our obsession and although we are perfect yet, we hope to get there very soon. I would appreciate to hear more from your experience on the app. Feel free to reach out to us. Good drumming.

Best tutorial free drum app I have found in the last 3 years..

I am a 40 yr old drummer that has played since I could talk basically...out of approx. 40 free drumming apps I have tried out, this one is my favorite so far!
I do not have to connect it to my ekit nor use my acoustic if I do not want to. All one needs is a drumming pad & sticks!
It helps with rudiments, accents, speed, coordination, timing, etc.
The new featuee that shows the hands & feet, I could go without though. For me personally, I can understand your instructions without (accept for somba beats now that I think of it).
