DrumSide: Drum Lessons

Learn drums with a coach in your pocket: a practice plan for today, real drum sheet music for every groove and a metronome built for drummers, at the kit or on a practice pad.

A PLAN FOR EVERY DAY

• Daily practice plans from 5 to 90 minutes, built for your level and the styles you like

• Multi-week programs: your first month on drums, clean 16th-note grooves, fills that land, ghost notes, shuffle, swing, Latin, odd time and double bass

• Your own routines with a session timer

• A daily reminder at the time you choose

READ REAL DRUM NOTATION

• Nearly 700 grooves, fills, rudiments, exercises and phrases, from rock and funk to jazz, Latin, metal and gospel

• Clear drum sheet music drawn on your screen, with the sticking under the notes

• Real recorded drum sounds. Mute any part and play it yourself

• Speed trainer, target tempo and gap training for rock-solid time

A METRONOME FOR DRUMMERS

• Accents, subdivisions, odd time signatures, polyrhythms and silent bars

• Tap tempo and several click sounds

PRACTICE PAD MODE

• Quiet rudiment sessions that adapt to the tempos you play cleanly

• Track your weak hand and see your strengths

WRITE YOUR OWN GROOVES

• Studio: write grooves and fills on a step grid and hear them right away

• Share them with the community and vote. Each week's winner joins the library

KEEP YOUR STREAK ALIVE

• Streaks, levels and skills that grow as you play

• Streak freezes cover a missed day, so one busy evening doesn't reset your progress

• A weekly recap of your practice, and cards to share your milestones

Works on phones, tablets and foldables. Practice works offline. An account is optional and backs up your progress.
