## What is Home Drum Practice?

Practice drums without a drum kit at home. Home Drum Practice plays rhythms on an on-screen kit and lights up where to hit and with which hand or foot. Made for beginners, including concert band percussionists learning drum set.

SEE, HEAR AND PLAY
- Switch between drum notation and a grid, with sticking (R/L) and spoken syllables
- See the next stroke one beat ahead, color-coded by hand and foot
- Tap the pads for on-time, early or late feedback
- Practice open and closed hi-hat, rimshots, ghost notes and rolls
- Calibrate timing and use a Bluetooth page-turning pedal or keyboard for foot input

40 BUILT-IN PATTERNS
Explore rock, pop, fills, jazz, blues, Brazilian and Caribbean rhythms, African bell patterns, Middle Eastern rhythms, concert-band patterns and rudiments. Read about the music and each limb's role. Includes local-triplet fills, tied rolls and a snares-off exercise.

FREE PRACTICE
- 11 representative patterns, including Single Strokes and a Snares Off version for comparing sounds
- Notation, grid, guide playback and on-screen pad practice
- A tempo slider, 50%, 75% and 100% shortcuts, and fine adjustment
- Gradual tempo practice with configurable starting and target tempos, repeats and increments
- Overall playback dynamics: pp, p, mp, mf, f and ff, without editing the saved pattern

EXTEND YOUR PRACTICE WITH PRO
A one-time purchase unlocks:
- All 40 patterns and Favorites
- Creating, editing and saving custom patterns
- Triplets in a selected range, rolls tied across bars and explicit sticking
- Dynamic markings and snare-wire on/off settings saved with a pattern
- Limb and pedal-conflict warnings, including both hands for rolls and the foot holding a closed hi-hat
- One-tap buttons on the main screen to enable or disable each hand or foot guide
- Song practice with patterns in a chosen order and repeat count
- Absolute or relative dynamic changes for a section, repeat or position range
