Great Practice Tool!

The main thing I love about this app is it shows you if your hits on the right and left hand are landing accurately. It’ll tell you if each hand is either late, early or within the sweet spot which has a little give if you’re either late or early. Then it’ll give you an accuracy rating between 1-100%.

It works perfectly for pad practice and seems to work well with the practice on acoustic drums although I’m not super fast so I can’t speak to how well it’ll pick up drummers who really push the bpms.

It catalogues your practice sessions automatically. Feels more like a game to me to see how accurate I can be and takes the monotony out of playing.

Another cool feature is it lets you import a YouTube link of music you want to learn. You can slow songs down and play along slowly working them up to speed.

Thanks so much for this review! "Takes the monotony out of playing" is exactly what I was hoping this app would do!

Part of my daily routine!

Love this app, even using for just the past week has netted me noticeable gains in my rhythm.

I love that you can track your accuracy over-time, it really helps with motivation and even encouragement to practice more!

This app has already become a powerful tool to me as a drummer, and I’m sure that as more people upload community exercises, it’ll grow still more in value.

Try it! I’m not paid or have any type of relationship to the creator btw.

Thank you! That makes me very happy that you can already see tangible differences! There will be many more practice features in the app, I'm glad you're here for it!

Great practice app

Really cool app. I love that you can see if you’re on, ahead or behind the beat in real time.

Thanks for the review!

Great tool for keeping track of your drumming journey.

Love this app. I like that it has instant feedback on timing, you can create your own patterns or import them from the shared user library(I just grabbed inverted paradiddles from another user submission). I have some songs to learn , so I gave it the YT URL and appreciate that I can slow them down. I know you can do that on YT, but you can also loop sections too. I know YT can’t do that. All this while keeping a log of your practice sessions.

Thanks for that review! The community is already starting to share some interesting sticking exercises. There should be more to come soon!
