BeatBalance is a tool to help serious drummers efficiently hone crucial elements of basic technique: note spacing, timing accuracy, dynamic control, timekeeping and hand-foot coordination, using a practice pad. It's a runkeeper, but for drums. Identify problem areas with timing and dynamics, using millisecond-accurate measurement and unique analysis tools. Track progress over time and identify which elements of your practise routine are delivering benefits, and which need to be refined. Sharpen perception and execution with real-time feedback on timing and dynamics. Patented silent metronome and adaptive guide feedback help you develop confidence with timekeeping and advanced rhythms. Speed Builder mode (for subscribers) helps gradually increase the speed of execution: play accurately and consistently and the tempo of the metronome will increase for the next attempt.
