Drums vs DrumClock

Practice drums with a library of real grooves and rudiments, on your kit or on a practice pad. Pick grooves from rock, funk, punk and jazz, build a practice list, and play along with real drum sounds. Follow each groove the way that suits you: a step grid, standard drum notation, or a note highway that shows every hit before it lands. RUDIMENTS ON A PAD OR THE KIT Work through essential rudiments, from single and double strokes to paradiddles and the paradiddle-diddle, with the sticking written under every note and separate R and L lanes. All you need is a practice pad and a pair of sticks. RECORD A TAKE Film yourself playing along with the notation, grid or highway moving under the camera, then save it or share it to TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Count in up to 4 bars so you have time to get from the phone to the kit, and nudge the timing so every note lines up. PRACTICE THAT KEEPS YOU MOVING • Groove of the Week: a new featured groove every week • Collections: Start Here, Ghost Notes, Tom Grooves, Rudiments and more • Play All: run your whole list by repeats or by the clock, hands free • Speed trainer: step the tempo up as you go • Metronome, count-in, tempo control, and mute or solo any drum New grooves and collections arrive without an app update.

Your drummer is the click. DrumClock listens to the drums and turns the groove into MIDI clock and tap-tempo CC, live. No click track, no count-in from a laptop, no tapping a pedal every song. The drummer plays, and your delays, arps and sequencers land on the beat. HOW IT WORKS Put an iPhone in the drum cage or clip it to a stand, or feed a kick/snare mic through a USB interface. DrumClock finds the tempo in a few bars, locks to it, and keeps following when the drummer pushes or pulls. Fills and ghost notes don't throw it. Breaks don't either: it holds the last tempo and picks the beat back up when the drums return. WHAT IT SENDS • MIDI clock (24 pulses per beat, Start/Stop) for anything that syncs to clock: Helix, Strymon, Ableton, MainStage, synth arpeggiators. • Tap-tempo CC: a controller message on every beat, for apps and pedals that can't read clock but can map a CC to Tap Tempo (Sunday Keys, many delays). • Either one, or both at once. You pick. WHERE IT SENDS • Wired USB MIDI: the way to go for clock. A class-compliant interface into a powered hub, a 5-pin cable to the keys rig. Sub-millisecond jitter. • A virtual “DrumClock” port for apps on the same iPad. Zero latency, no hardware. • Network MIDI (RTP) over Ethernet or Wi-Fi, for a Mac running your DAW. • Bluetooth MIDI for cable-free rehearsals. Each output tells you what it's good for and where it falls short before you pick it. USING SUNDAY KEYS? Sunday Keys can't take MIDI clock, only a tap tempo you MIDI-Learn — so someone has had to tap it by hand, every song. DrumClock taps it for you on every beat, on the drummer's time. Map it once; the delays and arps are in time all service long. Works on the same iPad through the DrumClock port, or wired from a phone by the kit. (Sunday Keys is a product of Sunday Sounds; DrumClock is not affiliated.) BUILT FOR A STAGE • One screen: tempo, a pulse you can read from behind the kit, Tap, and a big Start/Stop. • Tap in a tempo yourself when you want to. ÷2 and ×2 when the tracker picks half-time. • Hold freezes the clock through a rubato bridge or a drum solo. • Gain control with a meter, because some drummers are loud. iOS automatic gain is off while DrumClock listens. • Keeps running with the screen locked or another app in front. Nothing is recorded. Audio is analysed on the device and never leaves it. Made by Creedy Solutions, the people behind Chartless.
