About

BeatDrill

Features

BeatDrill teaches you to read rhythm — not by watching, but by performing. See a written rhythm on a real music staff, listen to a two-bar count-in, then tap it out or sing/scat it back. BeatDrill listens through your microphone (or your taps) and scores how closely your timing matched the notation. No pitch, no instrument required — just rhythm. WHAT YOU'LL PRACTICE 90 original exercises across 10 rhythm topics, from foundational note values to real independence challenges: • Whole, half, and quarter notes • Eighth-note and quarter-note combinations • 6/8 compound meter • Triplets and half-note triplets • Dotted-eighth + sixteenth patterns • Syncopated rests in sixteenths • Swing eighths • Ties across the beat • 4/4 ↔ Cut Time • Changing meters (5/4 ↔ 5/8) Three levels — Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced — each with 30 exercises across every topic, so you build the same skill at increasing difficulty rather than jumping between disconnected drills. HOW IT WORKS • Tap the rhythm on screen, or sing/scat it — your choice, every time • A 2-bar metronome count-in gets you locked to tempo before you start • BeatDrill scores whether you played the same pattern as written, not just raw timing precision — so a musical, in-the-pocket take scores well even with natural human timing • Score 70+ to unlock the next exercise; a private on-device AI coach (powered by Apple Intelligence, when available) gives you a specific note about what to work on next • Play back "Hear it" (the written rhythm), "Your take," or both together to hear exactly where you drifted TRACK REAL PROGRESS Every take is saved with its score and full timing breakdown. See your average score, revisit any past take's detail view, and watch exercises unlock as you clear the 70% bar — no guessing whether you're actually improving. BUILT FOR PRIVACY BeatDrill doesn't need an account, doesn't run ads, and doesn't track you. Every recording, score, and setting stays on your device. The AI coaching feature runs entirely on-device — nothing about your performance is ever sent anywhere. FREE TO START All 30 Beginner exercises — plus the complete recording, scoring, and playback engine — are free, forever. No trial, no paywall on the core experience. BeatDrill Pro is a single one-time purchase that unlocks all 60 Intermediate and Advanced exercises across every topic. No subscription, no renewal — pay once, keep it on every device you sign into. Whether you're a band or choir student, a drummer, a singer, or just someone who wants to finally read rhythm confidently, BeatDrill turns notation practice into something you actually do, not just look at.
