Play a real drum kit anywhere, and actually learn to play it. DRUM SCHOOL A track of 24 lessons across 4 levels, in the order drum teachers really use: the pulse, then the hands (rudiments: single strokes, doubles, the paradiddle), then the grooves, then the craft. Lessons unlock as you go. EXAMS, WITH THE METRONOME RUNNING Every level ends with an exam. The metronome does not wait: land the notes in time to pass. Pass one and the whole level opens, so if you already play, you skip straight ahead. BRING YOUR OWN SONG Pick any track and AI pulls the real drums out of it and writes down what the drummer played. Take their place, with a slider that brings the original kit back whenever you want it. TWO WAYS TO PRACTISE The classic strip rides on top of the track, colour coded by piece. Or switch to the rhythm game: four lanes, one line, and notes that fall straight onto the pads. Timing first, coordination next. EVERY HIT IS YOURS Open the jam in the editor and move, add or remove any hit, in 16ths, triplets or 32nds. It plays while you edit. Move the kit around too: drag the pieces where your hands want them, four hi-hats if you like. MADE BY AI, PLAYED BY YOU Describe a style and AI paints your kit and generates its sounds: a cyberpunk alley, a flat cartoon, a vintage blues room. • Full kit: kicks, snare with rim zone, three toms, floor, hi-hats, ride with bell, two crashes, splash • Ultra-low latency, multi-touch, haptics • Backing tracks with no drums, the part is yours to play Premium is an auto-renewable monthly subscription.
