The free drum metronome
that's actually a practice tool.

Not a basic click. DrumShed's metronome supports polyrhythms, odd time signatures, and 9 built-in drills — all free forever.

More than a metronome

🎵

Polyrhythm mode

Stack two independent rhythms and hear how they interlock. 3:2, 4:3, 5:4 — any combination.

🔢

Any time signature

4/4 is just the start. Play in 5/4, 7/8, 11/8, or build your own custom groupings.

🥁

9 built-in drills

Each drill targets a specific timing skill: internal clock, click displacement, tempo building, accent placement, and more.

🎧

Custom sounds

Choose from multiple click sounds or use acoustic samples. Separate downbeat and subdivision tones.

📱

Works on iPad too

Full iPad support with larger controls and expanded views for practice sessions.

♾️

Free forever

The metronome and basic drill are always free. No ads, no trial period, no paywall for the essentials.
