Most practice apps speak in chords and scales. Drummers count. Backbeat starts where drum practice actually starts: a rudiment, a tempo you can hold today, and a tempo you're chasing. It keeps the numbers, writes what you play as real notation, and runs the click while you do it. WRITTEN AS REAL NOTATION Tap hits into the grid and the staff writes itself. Hands stems-up, feet stems-down, ghost notes in parentheses, accents marked, flams and drags and diddles drawn the way you'd write them out by hand. Kick, snare, hi-hat, ride, crash, toms, cowbell and more across fourteen voices, on straight or triplet grids from two to thirty-two steps a bar. RUDIMENTS WITH A TARGET Every rudiment carries its sticking and a target tempo. Log a session and your current BPM moves. The library starts with eight basics and you can add your own. A CLICK THAT PUSHES YOU Quarter, eighth, sixteenth and triplet subdivisions. Accent, click or mute any beat. Tap the tempo when you don't have a number. The Speed Trainer raises the tempo on a schedule you choose and logs how far you got. ROUTINES THAT RUN THEMSELVES Give each block a length and a target tempo. The click follows along, every block logs itself when it ends, and the record fills in while your hands stay on the sticks. Three starter routines are there on day one. GROOVES, GENERATED Describe a feel in your own words and Backbeat renders it as notation you can play, edit and keep. PROOF YOU'RE GETTING FASTER Sessions, minutes, streaks, and a speed curve per rudiment. Not a participation badge; the actual tempo you held, over time. SONG CHARTS Build a chart measure by measure with repeats and counts, then export it as a paginated PDF, or share a single groove as an image for video. BUILT TO BE READ FROM A STAND Dark, high contrast, and large enough to follow at arm's length in a dim room. It follows your phone's appearance. Backbeat is free, made by one drummer, and still being built. If something in the notation looks wrong to you, say so; that's the part I most want to get right.
