Exercise Builder
Four labs over one engine — rudiments, chops, feet, and four-way coordination
An exercise isn’t a fill with the ending cut off. It repeats on purpose, and what makes it work is the thing that changes bar to bar — so the builder starts from the mechanism, not the notes.
- Sticking chains that rotate their order, or count their repeats down
- Subdivision ladders — up, down, or a pyramid that peaks and returns
- Shifting accents, drawn as a staircase before you play them
- Hi-hat foot, kick, flams, shuffle and voicing — only the layers you check
- A tempo ladder instead of a tempo: start, target, step
Sticking Lab
Rudiments & hands
Hands-only cells, kept on the snare where a rudiment belongs.
Chops Lab
Gospel chops & linear
Kick-integrated cells chained, then reduced 4→3→2→1.
Feet Lab
Double bass & foot
A generated kick rhythm under a held hands ostinato.
Coordination Lab
Four-way independence
Every limb on its own cell, cycling on its own length.
Live Playback
Sticking under the staff, counting syllables above it, and a playhead on the bar you’re in
The beat you just built goes straight to the stand — phone or iPad, sticks in your hands. Every pattern and drill runs with a live playback view that tracks your position in real time. Grid view shows every voice color-coded. Notation view shows standard drum notation with sticking. Toggle counting syllables — 1 e & a — above the staff, ghost notes read as lowercase sticking, and any shuffle or pocket feel is captioned right on the notation. And the metronome itself plays that pocket — drag or rush the backbeat and shuffle the click, free on the main screen.
Pattern Editor
Full cell-by-cell control over every hit
Place hits on a grid, adjust velocity and sticking per cell, add ghost notes and flams. Every pattern opens in the editor for fine-tuning — whether it came from the wizard, AI, or the community.
- 20 drum voices — kick, snare, side stick, rim clicks, open/closed/pedal hats, three toms, ride bow & bell, crash, china, splash, cowbell
- Tap cells to place hits — velocity sets automatically by position
- Drag to adjust velocity, long-press for flams and cross-stick
- Mixed subdivisions per beat — triplets next to sixteenths
- Any time signature from 2 to 13 over /4 or /8 — patterns up to 64 bars
Drum Notation
Place hits on the grid — see them as standard notation instantly
Every pattern you build or clone automatically converts to standard drum notation. Toggle between the color-coded grid and staff notation with one tap — both update in real time during playback.
- Automatic conversion from grid to standard drum notation
- Sticking labels (R/L/K) appear below the staff
- Accent marks, ghost notes, and flams render correctly
- Export notation as images for lessons or social media
