Beat Blocks vs Drum Coach

Beat Blocks is an interactive rhythm practice app built for players at every level. See the beat, build your own patterns, play along, and strengthen your timing with multiple ways to visualize rhythm. 4 Unique Visualization Modes: - Beat Blocks Mode: The signature dot-grid view. Notes and rests become clear geometric blocks, making rhythm structure easy to see and feel. - Circles Mode: Each beat becomes a colorful circle divided into slices for its subdivisions, then lights up in time as the rhythm plays. - Staff Mode: Practice with standard musical notation and connect your rhythm training to real-world sight-reading. - Jianpu (Numbered) Mode: A clean numbered-notation view for players who prefer Jianpu. Key Features: - Custom Rhythm Editor: Build and save your own rhythms in 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8. Create eighth-note patterns, triplets, dotted rhythms, syncopations, rests, and multi-measure exercises. - Expanded 6/8 Practice: Explore a dedicated set of 6/8 rhythm patterns designed for compound-meter training. - Course & Starter Library: Practice with ready-made rhythm groups, from basic pulse control to more advanced subdivision and syncopation. - Loop & Tap-Along: Loop any rhythm to internalize it, or test your timing with tap-along scoring and per-beat feedback. - Professional Metronome: Use high-quality sounds, count-in, tempo control, visual pulse, and flexible loop playback to keep practice precise. - Share & Import: Export custom rhythms as text and import rhythms created in Beat Blocks, including existing 4/4 exercises from earlier versions. - One-Time Unlock: Start with free practice content, then unlock full course and custom-rhythm playback with a one-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. Whether you are building a steady foundation or practicing complex meters, Beat Blocks turns rhythm training into a visual, creative, hands-on experience. See it. Build it. Feel it. Master the beat.

DrumCoach is a focused practice tool for drummers, built around a sample-accurate metronome and a set of practice modes that cover timing, reading, grooves, rudiments, and ear training. METRONOME Tap tempo, adjustable subdivisions (quarter, eighth, triplet, sixteenth, and more), accent control, count-in, and randomized or alternating mutes to test your internal clock. RHYTHM READING A library of notated reading exercises across five levels of difficulty, plus a random sight-reading generator that keeps producing new patterns so you never memorize the answer. GROOVES Over 50 drum grooves across rock, funk, reggae, ska, dancehall, reggaeton, cumbia, and merengue, shown as a step grid or a scrolling note highway, with optional groove playback. RUDIMENTS 18 rudiments from the PAS 40 International Drum Rudiments standard, with adjustable tempo and accents, shown as sticking cards so you can see exactly what to play. STICK CONTROL 40 classic stick control exercises with rep counting and auto-advance, for building endurance and hand control. DICTATION Ear-training exercises: listen to a rhythm or a drum fill, try to play it back from memory, then reveal the notation to check yourself. Fills are transcribed directly from a published drumming method book. PRACTICE LOG Every session is tracked automatically, broken down by day and by practice mode, so you can see exactly where your practice time is going. No account, no subscription, no ads. Just a metronome and a set of practice tools built to keep time precisely.
