## What is Rhythm Bench?

Train rhythm like a skill: hear it, read it, tap it in time.

Rhythm Bench is a rhythm trainer and metronome for musicians, drummers, music students and teachers. More than 30 exercises cover pulse, subdivisions, syncopation, tuplets, odd meters, sight reading, polyrhythms and independence—with early/late timing feedback you can actually practise from.

RHYTHM TRAINER WITH REAL TIMING FEEDBACK

See whether each tap was early, on time or late. Session summaries show timing bias, consistency and drift so you know what to fix—not only whether an answer was correct.

SIGHT READING & EAR TRAINING FOR RHYTHM

Read rhythms on the staff, tap them against the click, and train dictation and recognition. Build from simple note values to complex patterns without repeating the same drill forever.

METRONOME, TEMPO & PRACTICE TOOLS

Use a metronome with accents, subdivisions, swing, gap bars, tempo ramps and polymeter. Build speed with the tempo trainer, browse grooves, or tap an idea and turn it into readable notation.

GUIDED COURSES + FULL CATALOGUE

Follow ten guided paths from pulse through compound meter, syncopation, tuplets, odd meters, polyrhythm and sight-reading fluency—or open the exercise catalogue and build a session around the skill you need.
