### 4/5 — Awesome app!

*2026-03-11*

This app is what I have been looking for since I starting playing drums. I love that you can follow along with each note at a slow pace. My only problem with this is that on a couple of rudiments such as the Flamacue and Single Drag Tap, one you can’t see the notation and the other I can’t save to saved practices. Other than that this is the best way to learn rudiments. I’ve reached out to support with the issues I have and have not received feedback, but this was a day or two ago. I hope they can make this better.

### 4/5 — All about the $$$

*2026-01-21*

You can’t do anything unless you pay. Literally nothing. So there ya go.

### 5/5 — Basic functionality ok; no keyboard control; saving doesn't work

*2024-01-24*

Speaking strictly as a metronome, it works fine. That's not a big lift these days, however. There's no means to control the start, stop or tempo changes from the keyboard, which would be very useful to avoid having to grab the mouse. Saving tempos works, until you quit the app and your sessions previously saved tempos are all gone. These issues seriously limit the practical functionality. It's free...
