The Best App for Rudimental Drumming

This is the only app of the kind for rudimental drumming. Super useful both to generally find pieces to play and to feel a sense of progression in your playing. There are so many fantastic exercises on here, you’d be really hard pressed to play them all before they add more. I wish there were more scores available in the free version, I think there was when I first got the app a bit over a year ago, but the subscription is worth it and mostly what I use.

Make videos of them please Jeff

We have put together this audition packet to try and make the audition process as simple and straight forward as possible. As long as you go through the entire packet and let the information digest a bit, you should have a very clear idea of what you need to do to prepare for your Blue Devils Battery audition.

Help ME please I’d greatly appreciate it if you could make some time to record these selections of my audition for A corps.


group. Start from the wrist and allow that motion to move all other corresponding muscle groups. If we are not stabilizing our body, then other parts of our body will react from the initial wrist rotation and strike.
1. Two main filters we use: sound to guide technique, and technique to guide sound
1. A little bit of everything involved.
I. Mixer board explanation. (Slower frequency = bigger
motions, faster frequency = small motions)

Visual: Perform all movements from both of the visual videos. Box drill 8x8x8x8 with drum, if possible. 8-forward, 8-right crab,
8-backwards, 8-left crab. (Box drill music attached.)

Wow

Good but everything is literally on the premium version

Very good app!

I have been using this app for a bit over a month now and it has been amazing! The features are very convenient and easy to use, and there are a lot of scores on the app to play along to. I highly recommend this app to anyone at any skill level of drumming!!

Response from developer

This is great to hear — especially that it’s staying easy to use while giving you a lot to actually play with. That balance matters more than anything. Glad it’s been holding up after a month in, and appreciate the recommendation.

Great practice tool

My only ‘critique’ with this app so far is that it didn’t exist when I was first starting drums. It’s a great tool if you want to expand your rep or break down your grooves and licks nice and slow.

Response from developer

That might be the best kind of critique we could get. Really glad it’s useful for slowing things down and actually digging into reps and grooves — that’s where the real progress happens. Appreciate you taking the time to write this.

Inspires Me To Learn

Whenever I open this app, I am genuinely inspired to become better at drums! Whether it be a new groove or set of fills I’ve always wanted to learn, or a snare lick, this app has already made me a better drummer in the short time I’ve had it.

Response from developer

This is awesome to read. That feeling of opening the app and actually wanting to get better is the whole thing — everything else is secondary. Glad it’s already making an impact in a short time.

1 Star

I rated this 5 star so everyone sees it!! This app actually sucks!! You have to subscribe to premium in order to do anything!! I couldn’t even do a simple beat on the drums or even a warmup on snare without it saying I have to subscribe to premium!!! The creators of this should honestly delete this!! Every good star in here is from bots and themselves!! You make it look so good in instagram but it actually sucks!!

Good

The app performs well, good features and all. However, when this app released there were lots of free scores and stuff but now almost everything is paid. I understand some of the branded exercises but like some stuff like stick control is paid. That combined with no subscription sharing for my family makes it hard to want to use often. My dad pays for this subscription and wants to share it with me but the app has it disabled.

Response from developer

We enabled Family Sharing — your dad can share his subscription with you. You'll each have your own profile with separate practice sessions, favorites, playlists, goals, and settings. If it take effect right away, tap Restore Purchases on the subscription screen.

Amount of music

There’s a lot of music sure but 90% of it is for premium which is 10 a month if anything at that point you should just get a teacher to teach you more, I went for the beginner lessons to help myself with basic stuff inhibit not know and I could barely find anything.

Great app!

Super easy to use and fun to play along with the charts as a marching percussionist/drumset performer! Highly recommend to anyone looking to keep up on their skills or just get better in general!

Response from developer

This made our day — thanks! We built Drumr to feel approachable but still genuinely useful, so it’s great to hear it’s hitting that mark for you. Keep crushing it!

Good but hard to convert files

I wanted to work on my show music and couldn’t convert the files as they came from MuseScore but other than that it’s a great app

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. Drumr Imports works with MusicXML and MIDI files and requires Sibelius 2025.10+ as stated on our site (drumrapp.com/imports). We also provide free Sibelius templates there to ensure best results. If you can get your show music into Sibelius, export to Drumr is seamless. Glad to help, just send us an email: support@drumr.app

Please lower the subscription fee

This is a great app that helps with rudiments my only bad thing is that you have to have a subscription to do most of the stuff it offers

Good for any level drummer

This app had a pretty basic library to begin with, however now has a full library of resources ranging from 8’s to WGI level materials, and this app is still new-ish so I’m sure there is much more to come. I am very excited to see where this app ends up because any player can learn a lot from it and it is such a fantastic practice resource, it gives the normal monotonous practice routine something that is different and fun (and if you are trying to make a spot on any line it can help you clean all the basics to a T)

Response from developer

Thanks for your review! We’ve grown the library to over 500 scores since launch a year ago, and there’s plenty more to come. Helping drummers prep for auditions and sharpen their chops is exactly why we built it.

Not worth it

Wildly aggressive subscription model when everything around us is always a subscription. Every thing is taken from other materials which are cheaper, more accessible, and more useful in their original forms.

Response from developer

Our content is original material written and notated by professional drummers specifically for Drumr — not sourced from elsewhere. We also offer a substantial free library if the subscription isn't a fit. If you have specific feedback on what would make the app more valuable, we're at support@drumr.app.

Great for improving fundamentals

Drumr is a great resource for people looking to improve and expand their drumming knowledge. As well they just added tenors which is amazing!

Response from developer

Appreciate it! Adding tenor scores is extra fun because Geoff marched and taught tenors with the Blue Devils and Bluecoats.

Good for chop building

I’m satisfied.
You should make the tempo slider less sensitive, kinda like the one that was used in the freestyle rudiments app.

Response from developer

Glad it’s helping with chop building. We recently updated the tempo sliders.

Helped me learn the basics fast

We have a parade coming up that our band is committed to and our WHOLE drum line backed out. We tried to find nearby bands to cover, but no luck. With just two weeks before the parade, a group of us decided to learn some basics very quickly to cover our butts (cause you can’t match without a snare!) We’re still practicing, but I have a much better feeling about it now than before I started using drumr.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for sharing this—what an awesome story! We’re seriously impressed by your dedication (and fast learning!) under pressure. Glad Drumr could help you feel more confident and prepared. Wishing you and your crew a strong performance at the parade!

Add Mcnutt Special🙏

But seriously, this is a great app. This has helped me greatly to learn Suzi and cheese, so thank you Drumr! Would recommend 9/10

Cool but could use some work

I think this app is really helpful for warmups especially now that I’m going into my high schools drumline. But, I think there should be less stuff behind the subscription paywall. Like there are some really basic warmups like Double V2/V3 that you can even use. Additionally, it’d be cool if you could edit warmups to match something your group or school does; and if you could write your own warmups

Super helpful!

Awesome app. I practice guitar along to the drum beats and it helps me build my sense of rhythm.

Response from developer

Thanks! That’s an awesome way to use the app—tight rhythm is everything, no matter the instrument. Glad Drumr’s helping you lock in. If you ever post your practice with Drumr to social media, tag us @drumrapp—we’d love to see you in action!
