## What is Rudiments Trainer?

This is a rudiments training application supervised by an active drum instructor.
(There are other accent exercises in addition to this, and we will continue to expand our practice content!)

This app contains 39 of the 40 international drum rudiments, excluding "multiple bounce rolls".
You can practice and learn the rudiments while listening to the samples as well as the sheet music.

[Features of this app]
The BPM of each rudiment you practice is recorded even when the app is closed, so you can challenge yourself from your limits the next time you open the app.
It takes time to improve your skills, but you will feel your growth every day as you climb the stairs step by step.


[Practice Tips]
First, create a beautiful form at the slowest tempo.
Once the form is finalized, increase the BPM by 1.
Repeat this process and you will have a beautiful and fast stick control.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2024-09-16*

I don’t want to wait 30 seconds for every rudiment

### 1/5 — What is this

*2024-08-11, version 4.3.5*

The apps idea is good but 4 times out of 5 the app simply doesn’t make a sound when I press ‘play’. This happened before I could decide wether or not buy the full version, which is the only real way to use the app as you will need to watch a 30 seconds ad every rudiment otherwise

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-07-20, version 4.3.2*

No sound on iPhone when I hit play ???

### 1/5 — No sound

*2022-12-25*

Not using silent mode. It’s a shame, this would be exactly what I’m looking for.

### 2/5 — It's good but......

*2022-11-30*

I need all the other rudiments to be free!!

### 5/5 — ?

*2022-04-24*

I was wondering is this app also available on Android?

### 5/5 — Great Practice Tool

*2022-03-11*

This is a great app that helps tremendously! I’m just getting into rudiments and this is the perfect app for beginners. Please note that the app is free but in order to unlock ALL 39 rudiments, it will cost $2.99 for the entire catalog which is a small price to pay for what you get in my opinion.

### 2/5 — Good in principle, let down by basics

*2021-07-26, version 2.0*

Love this idea, simple and clever, great that you can adjust the click and drum volumes separately. However, app stops when device auto locks and when it comes back in the click and drum are no longer synced.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-03-26, version 2.0*

This app is appalling it doesn’t do anything, there is no sound. You click the rudiment set the tempo click to play and ...... nothing.   Waste of time

### 2/5 — Instrument sound quality could be improved

*2021-03-09*

Please upgrade drum sound quality.
