Drumr — Learn faster. Drum better. Practice should lead to progress. Stuck on the same patterns, or a part that just won't click? Drumr helps you break through — and enjoy getting better. Open a score and start playing. Recommendations and Coach take the guesswork out of what to practice next, so every minute counts. For drum kit, e-drums, practice pads, and drumline. Start free. Keep playing. 80+ free scores, including all 40 PAS rudiments, plus grooves, fills, and drumline exercises — no subscription required. Try Drumr Premium free for 7 days to explore the full library, ShufflePlay, every Metronome sound, Imports, and custom themes. Hear every part played precisely. Real drum sounds, exactly as written. Follow every note as it plays, slow it down, and connect what you see with what you hear. Learn to read drum music with a clear reference for your own playing. Loop the hard part until it's yours. Loop a few measures or focus on one. Isolate kick, snare, toms, or cymbals to see how a groove fits together. Set your reps and build speed and control from 30–300 bpm with Linear, Increasing, and Up-Down modes. See exactly where it slipped. Performance Analysis marks early, late, and missed notes right on the notation, rep by rep, so you know what to work on next. - E-drums: per-instrument feedback via USB/MIDI. - Practice pads: microphone analysis with AirPods or Apple wired headphones. Kit and drumline, in one app. 600+ professionally authored scores and courses with thousands of grooves, fills, and exercises — every pattern another idea for your playing. - Drum Kit: rock, funk, jazz, Latin, metal, Motown, linear patterns, polyrhythms, and control drills. - Drumline: marching percussion warmups, grids, and exercises for snare, tenors, and bassline, plus PAS and hybrid rudiments. Learn from the people who wrote them: Geoff Fry, Hudson Music, Mel Bay Publications, Pat Petrillo, Scott Johnson, and many more. New material added regularly. Take your place in the line. Watch a pro play it, work through the part, then rehearse with the rest of the battery on marching scores with matching parts, or play kit along with drumless tracks on supported scores. Charts pair chart notation with full-band tracks to build your improvisation skills. Know what to play next. Follow a course or curated playlist, or get recommendations from your recent practice. Coach adds tempo guidance, app help, and custom playlists — private, fast, and in your device language. Requires Apple Intelligence.
