Do you practice the drums, but feel like you never get any better? Does it feel like time goes by but you are on this never-ending hamster wheel where you never seem to get any solid results? Do you watch other drummers perform and wonder how they got to be that good? Was it magic... natural talent... or did they all just start when they were 3-years old? What if I was to tell you there was a way to get off that hamster wheel... To get on the same path as all of your favorite drummers... if there was a way to truly feel like a rockstar on the drums Well... THERE IS! How do I know? Because I was where you are now and this system is how I overcame all of those obstacles to reach my true potential on the drums. Welcome to "Study The Drums" ...These are not just a bank of ordinary drum lessons. That's why I called this app "Study" the drums... not "Learn" the drums. Getting great on drums is a study. It's a path. It's a journey. It's not a magic pill, it's not a quick fix, and it's not easy... (or everyone would be a great drummer.) But if you have the fortitude to follow the path... You WILL be a rockstar on the drums. There are a ton of online courses out there! How is this any different? Well, Study The Drums is like one-on-one, personal training... just on the drums. Instead of stopping at “how to” drum lessons... I take you through the entire cycle of learning. Our PATH to transformation on the drums is simple Step 1. Learn It > (I teach it to you) Step 2. Practice It > (I practice it with you) Step 3. Apply It (I show you how it applies to music) ...and myself and my community of like-minded rockstars are always there to walk that path with you... So... are you ready to be a rock star on the drums? "I’m getting positive results I can see and feel in my playing in just the first 2 weeks." - Randy Severino "All too often I have put the time in, but only practiced the things I already knew how to play, even practiced the wrong things. I've bought into Jay's purpose behind this app - to know what's important and to help with & maintain a regular practice routine." -Brendan Bensley "I have stopped lessons with my teacher here in SA and use your site exclusively." - Kevin Berman When you get started today, you have the following options: 1.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RhythmBot at 5.0 against Practice The Drums's 4.5. RhythmBot also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RhythmBot holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RhythmBot has 143 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Practice The Drums's written reviews are positive against 96% of RhythmBot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Practice The Drums ships an update every 2 months, RhythmBot every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
