Drum Journal vs DrumShed

Your exercises, your lessons, your rudiments: one list, ready to go. Drum Journal remembers where you left off, keeps the tempo, and gets out of your way. Press start, practice. YOUR ROUTINE, READY TO GO Open the app. The routine you built is queued, timed, and ready to run. Warm-up, rudiments, the YouTube lesson you're working on, laid out the way you want them. No deciding what to play tonight. REAL FEEDBACK ON YOUR TIMING The built-in sticking coach uses your device's microphone to hear you play on a practice pad. Real feedback on your timing, dynamics, and consistency, built into your routine, not a separate tool. PLAY TO A GROOVE, NOT JUST A CLICK Pick a mood and a backing track plays behind the metronome, automatically matched to your tempo. Rudiment practice stops feeling clinical and starts sounding like a room. LEARN ANY SONG AT YOUR OWN SPEED Drop any YouTube drum lesson into your routine. Slow it down, loop the hard bar, mark the section that's killing you. Drum Journal sits on your music stand and stays out of your way. SEE HOW YOU'RE GETTING BETTER Every session logs automatically. Streaks, time on each rudiment, whether your timing is tightening week over week. Show up daily and watch the data confirm what your hands already feel. EXERCISES FROM OTHER DRUMMERS Browse exercises shared by other drummers. Pick what fits your level, drop it into your routine. FREE TO PRACTICE. PRO TO SEE IF IT'S WORKING. Everything you need to build and run your routine is free: exercises, the sticking coach, YouTube practice, streaks, session logs, and background music in the Drift mood. Drum Journal Pro unlocks advanced analytics — see whether your timing is actually tightening, whether one hand plays inconsistent flams, whether your routine is moving the needle. Pro also unlocks the full background-music mood pack, per-exercise history, community sharing, and data export. The practice is simple. Showing up is hard. Drum Journal makes showing up the easy part. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Drum Journal Pro is available as a monthly, annual, or lifetime subscription.

Everything you practice, in one place. SONG MAPS & DRUM CHARTS (NEW) Upload a song and lay it out as a song map: every section with its bars, meter and click, and a note on each part. Loop any section to practice it with the song. Then let DrumShed write out the drums. Auto-detect gets you most of the way there, and you finish the chart by hand on your phone, tablet or the web. Drum charts are in beta. PLAY ALONG TO SONGS Upload a song — a rehearsal take, a demo, the track you're learning — and play along to the band without the drums, the drums alone, or the full mix. Slow it to half speed at the same pitch, with a click that follows the song bar by bar. Around 100 built-in play-alongs across 20 genres are included. BUILD BEATS, FILLS & EXERCISES A guided builder designed by drummers makes patterns that make sense on the kit, in seconds. Or write your own in the full pattern editor, in notation or on the grid, or describe what you want and let AI draft it (beta). Every AI draft opens in the editor, so you decide what's good. PRACTICE WITH DIRECTION Paths give you a plan for each day, built from real drills at real tempos and matched to your level. The AI co-pilot (beta) drafts a custom session around what you want to work on. Your history, streaks and achievements show the work adding up. METRONOME — FREE FOREVER Any time signature, any subdivision, polyrhythms and accent patterns, with no paywall. Run drills with automatic tempo steps, count-ins and voice cues, hands-free. SHARE & EXPLORE Export any beat or fill as a video or as sheet music with sticking. Send a link that opens your pattern in DrumShed, or post it to TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. Browse and play what other drummers share. ON THE WEB Your library, the editor, the song player, song maps and charts in a browser at create.drumshed.studio, on the same account.
