Everything you practice, in one place. SONG MAPS & DRUM CHARTS (NEW) Upload a song and lay it out as a song map: every section with its bars, meter and click, and a note on each part. Loop any section to practice it with the song. Then let DrumShed write out the drums. Auto-detect gets you most of the way there, and you finish the chart by hand on your phone, tablet or the web. Drum charts are in beta. PLAY ALONG TO SONGS Upload a song — a rehearsal take, a demo, the track you're learning — and play along to the band without the drums, the drums alone, or the full mix. Slow it to half speed at the same pitch, with a click that follows the song bar by bar. Around 100 built-in play-alongs across 20 genres are included. BUILD BEATS, FILLS & EXERCISES A guided builder designed by drummers makes patterns that make sense on the kit, in seconds. Or write your own in the full pattern editor, in notation or on the grid, or describe what you want and let AI draft it (beta). Every AI draft opens in the editor, so you decide what's good. PRACTICE WITH DIRECTION Paths give you a plan for each day, built from real drills at real tempos and matched to your level. The AI co-pilot (beta) drafts a custom session around what you want to work on. Your history, streaks and achievements show the work adding up. METRONOME — FREE FOREVER Any time signature, any subdivision, polyrhythms and accent patterns, with no paywall. Run drills with automatic tempo steps, count-ins and voice cues, hands-free. SHARE & EXPLORE Export any beat or fill as a video or as sheet music with sticking. Send a link that opens your pattern in DrumShed, or post it to TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. Browse and play what other drummers share. ON THE WEB Your library, the editor, the song player, song maps and charts in a browser at create.drumshed.studio, on the same account. Works with any drum kit, acoustic or electronic. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
