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. Dig into scores and lessons from Geoff Fry, Hudson Music, Mel Bay Publications, Chad Smith, Scott Johnson, and more. New material added regularly. Take your place in the line. Watch a pro play it, then work through the part. Rehearse with the rest of the drumline on marching scores with matching parts, or lock in with drumless tracks on supported kit scores. Charts give you full-band tracks and room to improvise. 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. More ways to make progress - SnapCursor highlights each note; KitView, PadView, and BasslineView bring the playing to life, and PieView shows subdivisions. - Record yourself playing alongside the score, then watch it back or share your take. - Notes, session history, tempo charts, activity rings, and Awards show how far you've come. - A standalone Metronome with flexible time signatures, groupings, subdivisions, sounds, and visual beats. - ShufflePlay mixes up groove and grid measures. - Control iPhone playback from Apple Watch: play, pause, restart, and choose sections. - See progress and open Up Next from the Home Screen widget. - Find scores and control playback hands-free with Siri. - Practice offline after initial setup.
