Keep your repertoire alive. Standards fade when you stop playing them. A tune that felt solid last month can turn shaky the moment someone calls it on the stand. Jazz Repertoire gives you a clear picture of everything you play: what's solid, what's slipping, and what you haven't touched in too long, so nothing quietly disappears. Track each tune by how well you know it, when you last played it, and what you still want to work on. Then let the app surface the ones that need attention before they catch you out. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Keep every tune in one clean, color-coded list - Rate each one on six honest levels, from "On my list" to "Jam-session ready" - Log practice with a single tap and see your history on a calendar - Pull up a random tune to work on, filtered by genre, key, or level - Sort by what's been neglected longest, so nothing stays buried - Attach lead sheets — scan a chart or import a PDF, then pinch to zoom - Note each tune's key and search or filter by it - Add links per song: a tutorial, a backing track, a recording - Start fast with a built-in catalog of around 320 jazz standards Your repertoire stays on your device. No sign-up, no personal data collected.

Practice with real drums, not a drum machine. Drum Lab is a library of original, professionally recorded drum loops. Built for musicians who want to practice, play along, and get better, not just listen. Every loop is a real performance, seamlessly looped, organized by feel so you can find exactly the groove you need. Browse jazz, funk, R&B and hip hop, rock and pop, world rhythms grouped by region (Brazilian, Latin, African and more), and odd meters grouped by time signature. Tap a loop and it locks in at its tempo instantly - no setup, no syncing, just drums. **Built for practice, not just playback** - Slow a groove down or speed it up, from 0.5× to 1.5×, without changing its pitch - Tap the BPM to type an exact tempo - Loop just the bars you're working on, snapped to the bar lines - Practice Mode gradually raises the tempo as you play - +5 BPM every 4 bars by default, and you set the step and how often - Built-in metronome locked to each loop's grid, in quarter, eighth or sixteenth notes, or on beat 1 only - Optional two-bar count-in before the loop starts - Download loops for offline practice anywhere - no connection needed - Save favorites and build your own practice playlists - Light and dark mode **Producer Mode: make it sound like a record** - Tape, Punch, Echo and Reverb in a rack of classic studio gear - Start from a ready-made tape, or dial in your own sound and save it - Echo locks to the loop's tempo, and Blend sets how much of the effects you hear - Bounce (Pro): export exactly what you hear as a WAV that loops seamlessly in any DAW **Try it free** Pick 3 loops to keep, free forever, full length, with tempo control and Practice Mode. Every other loop plays a 10-second preview, so you can hear the whole library first. Unlock Drum Lab Pro with a one-time payment for every loop, every practice feature, Bounce, and the original WAV files to export, royalty-free, into your own music - no subscription, ever. Whether you're working on your time, your feel, or just want something real to play along to, Drum Lab gives you drums that sound like a drummer, because they are one.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Jazz Repertoire at none against Drum Lab's 1. Drum Lab's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
