## What is Drummer ITP?

Learn to play 'In The Pocket' with Drummer ITP: The World's only intelligent metronome and rudiment training tool! *Worldwide Number 1 iPhone Music App in over 70 countries!*

Drummer ITP can help you to learn exceptionally accurate timing with your drum performances and become a true 'In The Pocket' player. The app is designed for practicing rudiment patterns with a drum practice pad - incorporating an intelligent listening feature, which allows your performance against a metronome click to be measured and given as feedback scores. You can therefore track your progress and identify what rudiment patterns and tempos cause you most trouble with staying in time. 

*Please note: as with all professional audio and recording systems, Drummer ITP requires you to use wired headphones to enable zero latency analysis and measurements. Bluetooth headphones do not allow zero latency data exchange.

Drummer ITP helps to identify the key tempos where your technique changes from wrist-action stick hits to faster speeds which require you to control the bounce of the drumsticks. Finding your breaking points with different stick pad rudiments and practice exercises will enable you to focus on the most challenging aspects of your personal stick technique and will underpin your development in all areas of drumming.

The main display shows both the rolling click waveform and the microphone readings from your performance on the practice pad, so you can easily see if you are playing ahead or behind the beat. There is also a unique accuracy indicator which shows how far ahead or behind the beat each of your hits is. Whilst performing rudiments and exercises on a practice pad, the app records an ongoing measurement of accuracy and consistency of the performance, so you can practice to keep the timing indicator right in the middle of the screen and achieve the highest possible scores. When playing an accented pattern, or an exercise with rests incorporated, the intelligent algorithm checks that the correct type of hits are performed at the right time. If you want to check how accurate the app is, just turn up the loudspeaker volume and you'll see it measure its own sounds to 100% accuracy - so you can see how close your own performance scores are to that of an electronic drum machine!

Drummer ITP can be used in Manual Mode or Rudiment Mode. In Manual Mode the metronome runs freely, as a standard metronome whilst also keeping a measurement of the recent performance scores. With a rudiment pattern active (i.e. using the app's Rudiment Mode), a count in starts a 30, 60, 120 or 300 second rudiment test, the results of which become a benchmark for evaluating your performance progress over time, with all your best high scores being recorded. The app can also be used purely as a standalone high-precision metronome with advanced settings allowing you to choose different pitches, volumes and intervals for the click.

Includes a total of 68 practice patterns and rudiment exercises for combinations of:
- standard timing exercises (quarters, eighths, sixteenths)
- triplet timing exercises
- single, double and triple paradiddles (including inverted, reverse and offset)
- single and double paradiddle-diddle patterns

- accent indicator and moving notation counter 
- tempo adjustment from 30-240 bpm
- beat time intervals 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

### 2/5 — It seems doesn’t work well for iOS 18.6.2

*2025-09-17*

I just downloaded the app, but the microphone doesn't work at all on iOS 18.6.2. I can't even get past the first step, so I'm unable to review the actual app features. Please fix this bug so it can be used.

**Developer response:** Hi there, you’ll need to grant microphone access to the app when installing it. If you accidentally pressed ‘no’ then you can either change this through the device settings, or delete and reinstall the app, allowing microphone access when asked.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-06-11, version 2.5*

❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Great app for drummers!

*2025-02-24*

I love this app to practice rudiments and get a real time feedback.

**Developer response:** Thanks for posting a review, we’re glad you are getting good use from ITP! 🙏

### 2/5 — Its not working

*2024-11-21*

Just got this app. Its not even working in iphone. The metronome and sounds dont sync. Same app works as expected in ipad. Disappoined

**Developer response:** Hi there, you shouldn’t have any issues with Drummer ITP on iPhone. What do you mean by ‘metronome and sounds don’t sync’? This is confusing because the app only outputs a metronome (no other sounds). Please email us at info@rt60.co.uk and we’ll help you resolve the issue with 1-1 support. Please also take a look at the setup tutorials at www.drummeritp.com and try to delete the app and reinstall too.

### 5/5 — Learning

*2024-10-13*

Hi, at the beginning I didn’t know all the features this app offers to the aspiring drummers , percussionist and professional musicians as well. After exploring and using all the features I can say , this is a great tools. Thanks to the developers for such as wonderful app they are created. Once again thank

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for posting feedback on the app, happy drumming to you! 🙏🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Just what the doctor ordered!

*2024-09-17*

This app is amazing I am loving it! I was initially a little disappointed that it seemed not to have animated sheet music synced up with the metronome. But it does! Click the 🎵icon to right of the dynamic circle on the main screen. And voila!! This should be on by default IMO. Also, a great feature addition would be the option to retest an exercise from the high scores summary page! Good job y’all!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for posting your review! 🙏 we’ll take your feedback into account when we create the next free update… Thanks again, happy drumming!

### 2/5 — Feedback Doesn’t work

*2024-07-18, version 2.4*

App has many rudiments, metronome, an indicator for when you hit and many other features. But you can play the complete wrong thing and the app will score you at 70 or 80. So it doesn’t actually give you any feedback, which is the whole draw of the app. Why not just use a youtube video that also has indicators. Good app, but please fix this.

### 3/5 — Really only works on iphone.

*2024-04-10*

To be of real use it need to fully render properly on an ipad. This expands but is grainy. It’s impossible to contact the developer and if you raise an issue it goes to apple whose only answer is a refund - i just want it to work properly.

**Developer response:** Hi, we've not had any issues with iPad and we've run many live demos at trade shows and music events, and our main developer tests and uses the app on iPad on a daily basis.
Please check the tutorials on our website to ensure you have the app setup correctly, and email us at info@rt60.co.uk with some screenshots and we'll be able to fix your issue quickly. Thanks for using Drummer ITP!

### 1/5 — Got suckered by a Facebook ad

*2024-02-20, version 2.4*

Mic goes in and out and there's a major lag starting and stopping. You're left with nothing more than a metronome. Disappointed.

### 5/5 — Realty

*2024-02-04*

I started out in the forties and after 2 hours in the 90’s. Whats interesting is I’m right  handed my left was at 100 percent. Rushing with my right!

**Developer response:** Glad to hear that ITP is helping you to understand your technique. Many thanks for posting 🙏
