Riddiments vs Lazy Lopez

Riddiments is a rhythm instrument for your pocket — a practice tool with the precision of a metronome and the expressiveness of a drum machine. Most metronomes give you one click. Riddiments gives you up to four independent rhythmic voices, each with its own time signature, sound, and feel — all locked to a single tempo. Different time signatures don't drift apart; they interlock into polyrhythm. It's the difference between counting along and actually hearing how the parts fit together. SEE THE BEAT, NOT JUST HEAR IT Four visualizations, one tap to switch between them: • Circular — a beat wheel with a playhead sweeping the ring. The signature view. • Waterfall — notes rise toward a NOW line, so you can read what's coming. • Timeline — every voice as gems on one lattice. Tap to edit, even while playing. • Notation — real single-line percussion notation with sticking letters, accents, flams, and drags. STICKINGS YOU CAN TRUST The built-in library covers the PAS International Drum Rudiments plus hybrid rudiments, rolls, grooves, and ostinato exercises — every sticking verified against published sources. Flams and drags play as true grace notes, on the correct hand. BUILD REAL TECHNIQUE • Practice mode: timed sessions, count-in, gap click, and automatic tempo progression to push your speed up gradually. • Tempo Lock, lead-hand flipping, and Alternate Lead each bar. • 18 built-in percussion voices — snare, kick, hi-hats, toms, claves, and more. • Per-lane swing, volume, and mute. Every control is live — changes land instantly, without stopping. MADE TO LIVE ON A STAND Every control works while you play. Tempo, transport, session time, and mute state stay readable from drumstick distance. Light and dark appearance. Save your own patterns, and your last session is always waiting when you reopen the app. Designed in the spirit of good tools: useful, honest, and quiet until you need it. Universal — one app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Sit down and find your beat. Explore grooves, work on rudiments, and play at your own pace. Lazy Lopez: Drums is a practice room that stays out of your way. No streaks to keep, no scores to chase, no account to make. A little room to play. GROOVES 151 grooves across seventeen styles, written in standard drum notation. Mute or solo any voice, slide the tempo, loop a bar, and record a take when it feels right. Turn your phone sideways and the notation fills the screen for reading at the kit. BUILD YOUR OWN A grid editor for the groove in your head, in any time signature, saved alongside the rest. PULSE A metronome with its own tab: 30 to 300 BPM, subdivisions, an accented downbeat, gap click, tempo ramp, tap tempo, and a silent visual pulse for late-night pad work. Odd meters count the way you count them, so 17/8 can go 3+3+3+3+3+2. RUDIMENTS, FILLS AND COORDINATION All 40 rudiments, with notation, sticking and playback at your pace. 30 fills and 16 limb-independence drills, easiest first. JAM Bass and keys vamp in the key you pick, in five styles, and you hold the groove. Record the take. CAPTURE IDEAS Record the beat you just tapped out. Trim it on a waveform, slow it down, and bring anything back from Recently Deleted for 30 days. THREE KITS Two acoustic kits and a synth percussion set, sampled rather than sequenced. PRACTICE, YOUR WAY Eleven backing loops and three ready-made practice routines, or build your own and run it with a calm timer. A practice log you can export as a spreadsheet. IPHONE, IPAD, MAC AND WATCH One app for iPhone and iPad, plus a native Mac app. On iPhone there's also an Apple Watch app with a haptic metronome and tap tempo, a home-screen widget for Pulse, Grooves and Jam, and Live Activities that keep your tempo and timer on the Lock Screen. YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE Your grooves, takes and ideas live on your device. No account, no cloud sync, nothing to sign up for. Back up your practice log, routines, favorite grooves, and saved setups to a file you keep and read it back on a new phone; the log exports as a spreadsheet too. Optional analytics are off unless you turn them on, and they never include your grooves, audio or notes. Every feature is free, and the optional tip jar unlocks nothing. NEW NAME, SAME APP Lazy Lopez: Drums was Drum Buddha. It is the same app from the same maker, By Lazy Lopez Productions, now part of Lazy Lopez Music. Pick up an instrument. Make some music.
