## What is RDM Playalongs?

Three practice tools for rudimental drummers, built to get your hands clean and fast.

PLAYALONGS
500+ exercises. Press play and it loops until you stop it. Set the tempo to bounce around
inside a range so you can't settle in, or have it climb every few reps until you find where
you break. Twelve ready-made playlists too, or build your own.

METRONOME
Any time signature. Any subdivision, including the ones normal metronome apps don't have:
7-lets, 9-lets, ratio rhythms. Accent, diddle, buzz or mute any beat, any partial. Chain
different rhythms into a sequence and save it.

SIGHT-READING LAB
Hit generate, get a page you've never seen. Set the tempo, the rests, the stickings, the
syncopation, the time signature. Set the difficulty to your level.

Notation on screen while it plays, so you're reading and hearing at the same time.

Practice time tracked. Streaks. Leaderboard.

Stuck on something? Post it in the community and I'll answer it myself.

Built by Anthony Steller, a gigging drummer and snare instructor, for marching snare
drummers and drumlines.

Start free. You get all three tools with limits, no card needed.

New: Hands. Tap the hand button on the sheet music to put one hand on the rim, or turn the music into a right-hand-only or left-hand-only part. Hear the rim sounds in Settings > Sound > Hands.

New: Lock rotation, in Settings > Look. Stops the sheet music turning when you tilt your phone.

Fixed: on some iPhones the app sat under the clock at the top of the screen.

Fixed: the screen stayed shifted after closing the tempo keypad.

Cleaner bar lines. The sheet now follows the cursor when you're zoomed in. Metronome Sub accent and Sub tap levels now stay put when you change sounds.
