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
