Sidereal Metronome vs Metronome

Sidereal is a metronome built for daily practice — guitar, bass, piano, drums, and any rhythm work in between. It keeps the essentials where you can reach them: adjust BPM in a moment, set your time signature and accents, watch a beat you can actually read at a glance, and let the practice timer hold your focus. Whether you're breaking a phrase down slowly, drilling fundamentals, or holding one tempo through a full session, it's easier to settle into the groove. Features: • Direct BPM control with a clear beat display • Time signature, accent, and rhythm pattern editing • Unmistakable visual feedback on every beat • Practice duration and progress at a glance • Background audio, so the click keeps going while you work • iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape • No account, no ads — open it and play Sidereal isn't trying to stack up features. It's built for one thing: steadier, more focused practice.

DrumTick is a metronome built for the way drummers actually practise: set the tempo, shape the bar, hit start — and let it run the whole session for you. Ten to four hundred BPM. Fourteen click sounds. An accent on every single beat if you want one. And when the click alone stops being enough, the Automator and a shelf of drum routines take over. SET THE TEMPO IN A SECOND • 10–400 BPM by slider, by ±1 BPM, or by Tap Tempo • Tap out a few beats and DrumTick reads the tempo off your hands • Save presets — one for the gig, one for the warm-up, one for the song you are learning — and switch between them mid-session BUILD THE BAR, BEAT BY BEAT • Time signatures from 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8 and 12/8 to any custom meter up to 16 beats • Subdivisions: quarters, eighths, triplets, sixteenths, sextuplets and swing • Five accent levels on every beat — Marcato, Accent, Normal, Ghost, Mute — tap a beat to change it • Separate volume for accents and regular beats, so the downbeat stays audible next to a real kit A CLICK YOU CAN HEAR OVER A DRUM KIT • 14 sound sets: Digital, Analog, Blip, Electro, Wooden, Shaker, Tambourine, Cowbell, Claves, Drum Kit, Pro and more • Voice Count speaks the beat numbers out loud — "1 e & a" — so you never lose your place mid-bar • Every sound set is three separate voices, one each for the downbeat, the accent and the regular beat. You hear where the bar starts, not just a louder click • Flash the screen and haptic pulses for rooms too loud for headphones AN AUTOMATOR THAT TRAINS YOUR INNER CLOCK • Tempo steps — add or take away a few BPM every few bars or every few seconds, with an optional ceiling • Ramp — glide from one tempo to another over a set time, like 80 → 120 BPM in five minutes • Mute cycle — the click drops out for a set number of bars, then comes back, so you find out whether you held the tempo alone • Announces the next tempo out loud, so you never look down • Tracker — count-in, then stop automatically after a number of bars or a length of time DRUM ROUTINES THAT RUN THE SESSION • Built-in warm-ups and hand workouts from 5 to 20 minutes • Every step names the sticking (singles, doubles, paradiddle, eight on a hand), the stroke technique (wrist, finger, full, down, up, Moeller), the tempo and the duration • Several rounds at rising tempos, with a coaching note on what to watch in each one • Build your own routine step by step with Pro TWO GAMES FOR TIMING AND RECALL • Button Game — the machine plays a bar, you get a bar to get ready, then you play it back. The pulse never stops • Bird Beat — two birds peck out a pattern, then stop. Remember it and play it back • Levels that unlock as you improve, per-note accuracy scoring and personal bests • Share your score card and challenge a friend to beat it MADE FOR THE PRACTICE ROOM • Keeps clicking in the background and with the screen locked • Stage mode: a full-screen tempo and beat lights you can read from behind the kit • Stage theme in pure black for playing under lights, plus themes and accent colours • iPhone and iPad • No account, no sign-up DRUMTICK PRO The free version is a complete metronome: full tempo range, every time signature, every subdivision and accent, three sound sets, three presets, all built-in routines and both games.
